Holiday Accelerator: Year 10

For students who are currently in Year 9 or who want to accelerate Year 10 maths

Inside the Accelerator

How classes run

Our classes are high-intensity interactive learning sessions (NOT lectures). Students are expected to explain their reasoning and attempt the problems themselves first before they are explained on the whiteboard.

Taught by expert mentors behind a 100% Band 6/E4 cohort and four NSW state ranks
Highly rigorous and conceptual approach, focussed on understanding, proofs and the intuition behind every method
Designed for exam performance, with the techniques that have taken our students to the highest E4 results and state ranks

Get a head start on the opening topic of Term 4

Year 10: harder algebra and quadratics Over two days we cover harder algebra, then quadratic equations, forming the foundations for Quadratic Functions in Term 4.
