Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our teaching philosophy, class sizes, pricing, enrolment, and online learning.
Helping
3 questionsSubject to availability, students can change to another class or tutorial time and can move between in-person and live online attendance. Timetable changes can be managed through our student platform, or our team can help if you are unsure which option to choose.
Schoolwork always takes priority, but students who study at Intuition are better equipped to tackle their schoolwork and prepare for exams. Our programs are structured to ensure syllabus requirements are covered, reinforcing core concepts and improving study efficiency while also providing extension opportunities.
We also flexibly offer multiple course options so that students can find the right individual fit.
We take an understanding approach to overdue homework and provide solid infrastructure for students who need additional help, though it must be stated that for success, work ethic must be reciprocated.
We also keep parents informed of their child’s progress (e.g. class attendance, homework submission, homework completion) via our learning management system: MY-I.
Maths
1 questionIn the NSW syllabus, Mathematics Extension courses build on Mathematics Advanced. At Intuition, an Extension enrolment covers the Advanced content and the relevant Extension content together, so you do not need a separate Intuition Mathematics Advanced enrolment.
For example, a Mathematics Extension 1 class teaches both the Advanced and Extension 1 content needed for that course. If you are unsure which class matches your school subjects, contact us and we will confirm the correct enrolment.
Pricing
4 questionsOur pricing pages let you compare Pay by Term with Pay Yearly for each course. The yearly option receives the published upfront-payment discount, while term payments use the published term price.
See our current pricing, or contact us if you need a quote or want to discuss payment arrangements.
Our courses require a meaningful commitment, so enrolment includes a personalised face-to-face or online meeting.
The meeting ensures that the student and parent or carer understand the course, its costs, the commitment required and how to make the most of the experience. It is also an opportunity to answer questions and address any concerns. Contact us to get started.
Fees and inclusions depend on the course and option you choose. Each course page lists the current term and yearly prices alongside the features included in Weekly and Platinum options. Optional preparation terms, holiday courses and add-ons are priced separately where applicable.
Our discounts stack off the published term price: 10% for enrolling before the early-enrolment deadline, a further 10% for paying the year upfront, and another 5% for every subject after the first — with no cap. So two subjects enrolled early and paid yearly is 25% off, three is 30%, four is 35%, and so on.
See our current pricing or contact us for a personalised quote.
Weekly-course students can discontinue by providing at least seven days’ written notice. We refund the unexpired portion of the service within the timeframe set out in our terms; if less than seven days’ notice is given, that week’s tuition is charged.
One 2-week trial is available per student for weekly courses. If the student continues after the trial, those two weeks are payable as part of the enrolment. Trial conditions differ for non-weekly programs.

Teaching
7 questionsGrading students can become ultra-competitive, leading to a detrimental learning environment. Ultimately, everyone learns from the same syllabus and sits the same HSC. We teach courses in their entirety, in line with the NESA syllabus, from the fundamentals to complex concepts.
Stronger students learn by hearing a different perspective and from being able to help their classmates. Weaker students better understand concepts through the questions being asked and from being assisted by their peers. We like to say that teamwork makes the dream work.
For students looking to extend themselves, we provide a range of extra resources and harder challenge questions.
Intuition is dedicated to helping students who actively and genuinely seek improvement. We pride ourselves on assisting students who seek help, regardless of their current standard or ability.
All of Intuition’s courses are structured so that we begin with and build on the basics of each topic before moving on to more difficult concepts. This ‘building blocks’ process, in conjunction with our strict zero mistakes homework policy, ensures that every student understands a subject’s core fundamentals and is able to apply them – a prerequisite for academic success.
Intuition is also committed to extending students who seek a challenge. Our homework booklets for example, have a dedicated ‘challenge’ section filled with extra questions of a harder difficulty.
Many students want to accelerate; however, experience has taught us that being too far ahead can be confusing and place unnecessary pressure on students. Our course schedules cover new material in advance of school by about a month on average with additional ongoing revision throughout the year.
Our course topic ordering is structured to align with the approach taken by most schools. However, if your school is taking a more obscure approach, please just let us know and we’ll get you some help!
We also run accelerated Mathematics courses: Year 10 Maths Accelerated, Preliminary Maths Extension Accelerated and HSC Maths Extension 2 Accelerated.
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.
Selected from pools of hundreds of applicants, we recruit the best and brightest university students who have not only excelled in their HSC and university studies but also demonstrate superior communication skills. Once selected, our staff undergo an extensive induction and training program and receive regular appraisals to ensure the highest standards are maintained.
A unique characteristic of Intuition is that many of our staff members have completed an Intuition course themselves and are shining examples of our proven systems.
Intuition is a strong advocate of interaction and discussion between classmates and their teachers. This collaborative approach is one of the key components of maintaining high engagement for all students.
Nevertheless, it is normal for parents to be concerned that their child could be left behind in a group environment. Our class environment, learning system and homework processes are designed so each student is monitored and can access additional assistance when required. We provide complimentary extra help with both school and Intuition work.
Our materials methodically cover the NSW Education 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.
