Preliminary Physics
From motion and energy to electricity and waves, our Preliminary Physics course builds a strong foundation in the fundamental laws of nature. Master the core concepts and mathematical skills needed to excel in HSC Physics.
Updated for the new NESA syllabus Physics 11–12 (2025) — first HSC examination 2028
Year 11 adds motion on inclined planes, and Year 12 replaces From the Universe to the Atom with Matter, energy and the cosmos.
Read the syllabus on NESAFrom 12 October, our Year 10 Science class spends Term 4 building the foundations for this course, so you start Term 1 ready.

Investigate the Forces that Shape the Universe
This course is your introduction to the quantitative study of the universe.
We focus on developing strong analytical and mathematical problem-solving skills, ensuring you can confidently apply physics principles to a variety of scenarios.
We break down complex ideas into simple, understandable components, building the essential groundwork for success in the HSC. 🚀
A solid understanding of the concepts covered in Year 10 Science is assumed. A high level of competency in mathematics (Advanced level is beneficial) is crucial for success.
Preliminary Physics is the essential starting point for students considering careers in Engineering, Medicine, Aviation, Computer Science, Architecture, and scientific research. It is the prerequisite for studying HSC Physics.
HSC Physics is a challenging, high-scaling subject. The concepts introduced in the Preliminary course, particularly Dynamics and Electricity, are fundamental and revisited in greater depth in Year 12.
A strong performance in Year 11 ensures you have the problem-solving framework and mathematical fluency needed to thrive in the HSC.
HSC Physics is a very high-scaling subject. Due to the challenging nature of the content and the strong academic cohort who typically selects it, raw HSC marks are often scaled up significantly by UAC.
For example, a raw HSC mark in the mid-80s has historically scaled to over 90. Excelling in Physics can provide a substantial boost to your ATAR.

Intuition's 3-Step Cycle
Our proven 3-step cycle not only helps student's build confidence but provides them an effective framework that ensures students don’t just learn - they master.
Learn moreLearn
Every week, students attend class led by expert teachers who break down the NESA syllabus with clarity and structure. They teach not just lecture.
Practice
After the weekly class, students complete structured homework that builds from fundamentals to high-level exam-style questions. This ensures that what’s learned in class is actively applied and retained.
Consolidate
True progress happens when students revisit, reflect on, and correct their mistakes. Our consolidation step ensures they don’t just move on — they master what they’ve learned.
Learning Schedules
NESA Physics 11–12 Syllabus (2025)
New syllabus — first HSC examination in
2028
Structured week-by-week topic schedules aligned to the NSW NESA syllabus. We teach each concept 3–4 weeks ahead of school, giving you the time to master theory, complete weekly practice, and prepare for school exams.
Build the foundations first. From 12 October 2026, our Year 10 Science class spends Term 4 on the key preparation topics for this course — so you start Term 1 with the groundwork already in place.

More Information & FAQs
Our courses require a significant commitment. For this reason, all enrolments attend a personalised face-to-face or online enrolment meeting.
The purpose of this meeting is to ensure that the student and parents understand the course, the commitment required and how to make the most of the experience. We also use this opportunity to answer any questions and address any concerns.
Several tutoring colleges offer a similar service but there are none that do it quite like Intuition. We don't skip steps or take shortcuts; we do what is in the best interest of our students and we always recognise that each student is an individual with individual needs. While we provide a structured, three-step learning cycle for our core course content, we also flexibly offer multiple course options so that students can find the right individual fit.
We also don’t just see ourselves as tutors; we see ourselves as developing the young leaders of tomorrow and our vibrant and energetic staff drive us daily on this path. Many of our staff members have completed an Intuition course themselves and are shining examples of our proven systems.
It’s important to note that our prices are all-inclusive. Students do not pay for extra help at Intuition. This is in stark contrast to our competitors who charge more for additional services, or simply do not offer them at all. Intuition offers extra tutorials, one-on-ones, additional materials, marking of homework for all year cohorts, help with schoolwork, and access to our unique online Ask-a-Tutor service.
See pricing for more information.
Schoolwork always takes priority but students that study at Intuition will be better equipped to tackle their schoolwork and achieve exam success. Our programs are structured to ensures every syllabus requirement is covered, reinforcing core concepts and maximising studying efficiency, while also providing stretch opportunities.
We also flexibly offer multiple course options so that students can find the right individual fit.
Our materials methodically cover the NSW Educational Standards Authority (NESA) syllabus providing both sound theoretical grounding and extensive practical exposure.
Our resource team ensures that all our materials are regularly annotated and updated in line with the latest curriculum changes.
