If you are worried about how to help your child with maths, the Personal Tutor High School Maths program could solve your problem. Anyone can use this course - you only need to know basic arithmetic.  The course includes  year 7 and 8 work, a complete intermediate and advanced course of study for year 9 and 10 students, and much of the maths taught in year 11.  Even year 12 students can benefit from using it for revision as it is often lack of basic skills which holds students back in year 12.

Lessons

In the Lessons part of the program, every question comes with teaching notes and a lot of help. Each chapter consists of a number of small lessons, so that you only have to learn one concept at a time.  Questions using skills from more than one lesson are put in the Further Problems lesson at the end of the chapter.

Tests

In the Tests part of the program, Personal Tutor designs a test for you, from the lessons you select and at the standard you ask for.  All the questions are graded easy, medium or difficult so the computer can set a suitable exam.

High School Maths has all  the features of the Personal Tutor Maths on Windows program.

The algebra course and the geometry course are included in the High School Maths course but may also be bought separately, as an alternative purchase.  As both these subjects are used throughout High School,  they are suitable for students aged 12 to 17.

Year 12

VCE Units 3 & 4  are usually taught in Year 12.  Students doing these courses have to sit Public Examinations and these are called Exam Common Assessment Tasks (exam CATs).

For Mathematics and Science subjects, there are 2 exam CATs  and these represent two thirds of the tertiary entrance score.  All Maths Unit 3 & 4 subjects have both exam CATs in November.  That is, the whole years work is examined in November.

Even one extra mark in an exam CAT can be enough to ensure entry to the course and career of your choice.

Year 11

VCE Units 1 & 2 are usually taken in Year 11 but some students will go on to another Unit 1 & 2 course in Year 12, especially if they are not very strong at Maths.  Unit 1 & 2 students have to give in Work Requirements and Assessment Tasks set by the school.

Using Personal Tutor in Year 11 will give you the understanding you need to achieve your  Work Requirements and prepare you for Year 12.

Testimonials

I got a real shock when the results came out.  I didnt expect to do so well in a subject that I usually struggled in passing.  Im really grateful to my Mum for spending the money on the Maths package, and as she was concerned with my future after school, I was able to in return achieve higher marks Annewyn Kernebone, Sydney.

This program provides the incentive for students to stick at it and improve their scores, resulting in a feeling of achievement.  They wouldnt get this sort of feed-back from normal work  Tony Mangan, chemistry teacher.

A nice change from opening a book.  Personal Tutor is an extra tool for learning which is really easy to use.  Mrs P. Cameron, Bondi.

I found the Biology program to be a great help towards studying for my Year 11 HSC assessments.  In fact it got my standard up to 2nd in the year in Biology at the end of Year 11 in my school  Alex Cook.

I find the program very useful for my students Dr Mishra, university lecturer.

Before using Personal Tutor I was achieving 43%.  After using it for 2 months, and average of 5 hours per week, I achieved 71%. I definitely attribute my increase in results to the continuous use of Personal Tutor. HSC student.

Specialist Maths was by far the most difficult subject that I was studying,  and the Personal Tutor package  was a valuable asset in my preparation for my final exams. The way in which the program monitored my progress and repeated my weaker sections re-inforced my learning very effectively   Simon Stone,  VCE score 99.45%.

My son was failing quite badly in every Biology test.  Unfortunately, such was his disinterest in Biology as a subject that he didnt even want to look at the Personal Tutor package at all.  As the final exams approached so did the realisation  of the possibility that he might fail Biology.  With this in mind my son applied himself to the Biology Personal Tutor for the week prior to the exam.  The ability to analyze his results as he went encouraged him further, and he commented that if his results were accurate he would probably pass Biology.  He received a mark of 69% for his exam, a mark he quite willingly attributes to his work on Personal Tutor.   mother of VCE student.

The needs of our current group of year 12 students were such that our purchase of the Physics Personal Tutor was very welcomed by staff, students and parents alike.  Your product is much valued by the students using it,  Head of Science.
