A closer look

A little more
about Chemistry.

What’s the difference between a content lecture and a problem workshop?

The content lecture goes through the course content. In the problem workshop, a tutor goes step by step through questions, so you see exactly how to approach them.

Are classes in groups or one-on-one?

Both the content lecture and the problem workshop are group classes.

Are classes online or in person?

All classes are online. We don’t currently have an in-person office.

What homework and feedback do I get?

Each week you get one homework sheet and either one topic test or one mini-exam:

Homework sheet (20–30 minutes): exam problems, or Prose-made exam-style problems, on what was taught that week.
Topic test (40–60 minutes): “separator” questions and focused preparation for your upcoming SAC.
Mini-exam (about 60 minutes): every topic covered so far, so you revise as you go.

Homework isn’t enforced, but it’s encouraged.

What does “From” mean in the fees?

Fees are charged on the basis that a month is four weeks of classes. When a payment period has five weeks, the fifth week is charged at the weekly rate (the monthly fee divided by four):

$270 for a four-week month, or $337.50 for a five-week month ($67.50 a week).

These are base charges; extras such as consultations may cost more.

Do you offer free trials?

Yes, in effect: you don’t pay until after your first week. If the structure doesn’t work for you, you can un-enrol after week 1 without paying anything.

Is the enrolment fee per subject?

Yes. The one-time $50 enrolment fee applies to each subject you enrol in, and the Summer Intensive counts on its own. For example, English and Physics would be $100 in enrolment fees, as would the Summer Intensive and English during the year.

Can I start with the Summer Intensive?

Yes. Summer Intensive enrolments for Chemistry are open now.

Reviews

I devote much of my success in chemistry and also getting into my uni course to matt, chem went from being one of my worst subjects across both year 11 and into year 12 until I started seeking tutoring and Matt offered to help, which catapulted it to being one of my best subjects. Matt assisted in a multitude of ways including making mock SACs and exams and then grading them for me with feedback, personal lessons focusing on what he struggled with most in chem and making sure i didn’t have any of the problems he faced, aswell as correcting any problems I was having with simple and effective solutions.

Prose was a transformative force during my Year 12 English journey. I remember consulting with Daniel for the first time, completely lost and scared that I wouldn't be able to achieve my desired scores throughout the year. I expected Prose to be another tutoring company where they treat students like a number; another cog in the machine to boast their scores. However, Prose subverted all my expectations. Prose helped me to discover a true passion for learning English, beyond that of the school curriculum. I was amazed by how attentive the tutors were; answering questions at all times of day and night, providing feedback for all the essays I submitted, conferring with me about SAC strategies and stress management. Thank you Prose for making VCE English not only bearable, but a fascinating and compelling subject.

daniel and rebecca are genuinely the smartest, most caring tutor(s) i’ve ever met. they both are absolutely gods at lit/eng cause they study it at uni, i swear they know the subject with so much depth — they’re not just graduates who did well in VCE, but uni lit students who have honours degrees in their subject. i accredit my results to them so so much, because they were pushing me so intellectually and really expanded my insights on literature to the point that i’m even consider studying it in uni! i cannot recommend them enough!!

In just two years at Prose, I have transformed from a struggling C+ student into an A+ student, becoming the dux of my school's Literature department. Daniel and Rebecca's exceptional teaching and unwavering dedication, at all hours of both day and night, have been instrumental in this growth. This singular review cannot capture the extent of my gratitude or the calibre of their teaching!
