In Biology, knowing it is not the same as being marked for it

Most students who underperform in Biology are not short on content. They lose marks in the same few places, every time: describing something when the question said explain, naming a structure without ever linking it to its function, writing down everything they know about a topic instead of answering the verb in front of them, and freezing when a question wraps familiar biology in an unfamiliar case study.

Those are skills, not topics. Skills can be repaired in four weeks. That is the whole design of this program.

How the four weeks work

Four Thursday evenings: 10, 17, 24 September and 1 October, 5:00 to 6:15pm, online. Three fall in the last weeks of Term 3 and the final one in the break, which leaves you a clear fortnight to act on your revision plan before the HSC begins on 13 October.

BeforeYou sit a diagnostic covering the whole HSC Biology course. I mark it and write you a personal report naming the specific skills costing you marks, not just the topics you got wrong.

Week 1Command terms and what each one actually pays for. The difference between describe, explain, compare and assess is worth more marks than any single fact you could memorise.

Week 2Cause and effect: linking structure to function and mechanism to outcome, so an explanation earns full marks instead of half.

Week 3Unfamiliar contexts and data. Novel case studies, experimental design, validity and reliability, which is where HSC Biology papers do most of their damage.

Week 4Extended responses under time pressure, and a final report on exactly what to revise in the weeks before the exam.

What you get

A diagnostic across the whole HSC Biology course, marked by me.
A personal weak-area report naming the skills, not just the topics.
Four live 75-minute small-group sessions, online.
Targeted practice each week, chosen for what your cohort is getting wrong.
One response marked with real feedback every week.
Full access to the HSCScience Biology material for the program.
A final revision-priorities report for the run-up to the exam.

What this is not. It is not a re-teach of the whole course, and I am not going to promise you a band. Nobody can honestly promise that.

What I can do is find what is costing you marks, teach you how to fix it, and make you practise it with someone checking your work.
