should i go to scom for maths tutoring? (1 Viewer)

[hscgirl]

hey guys, so i'm thinking of joining scom for maths. for people who go there / have gone there, i am wondering if they go through the content at an accelerated pace compared to school, if the resources/teachers are actually good, and if the content is challenging enough, and if people tend to get good marks here. what are people's past experience here? idk, i guess i just want people's honest opinions on this place and whether it would be right for me (given i have done tutoring in the past and i am used to tutoring centres that go through the content quickly and have challenging content). thanks

I went to scom for trials. I'd say the tutors are amazing, although, 90% of the workbook qns are from Jono's math books (which retail for like $70) and overall focus more on fundamentals (which is by all means not bad) rather than doing harder more vigorous qns. The classes also r a little slow in my opinion- only considering the time you'd be there ie 4hrs in one day weekly and other centres have nearly finished the whole yr 11 syllabus. Given you have done tuition in classes that have very fast pace, I can't really recommend SCOM unfortunately from my experience. I'd recommend (if you haven't already) you try Dr Du (the best option), Ngo and Sons, Kurt, etc.

of course you recommend dr du as the best option honestly if dr du knew how much you loved and promoted him he'll give you like free unlimited tuition forever

Correct I was placed into baulko classes due to travel reasons

i agree.. i wish it was a bit more challenging (lowkey considering trying for kurt because that seems like it could be fun, and a change of pace.. but unsure if they offer 2u only, likely not )

isn't kurt like 'child torture' tho lmao

I did a trial for scom, I personally didn't find it the right atmosphere/pace at which I believe I can excell, and thereofore I unfortunately did not continue it.

oh right yeah doesn't he go to 2 maths tutoring places lol

my favourite !! jokes but i want to go through content faster and everyone i know has said good things ab him (also the practicality of doing tests for 3h straight is more appealing than doing it at home because i cannot do anything at home rn)

can never have enough tutoring.. and his school's teaching is bad/slow or whatever
