Physics 1 and 2 is your chance to build real intuition before the stakes rise in Year 12. You'll work through light and heat, electricity, nuclear physics and motion, learning the setting-out discipline and problem-solving habits that separate strong Physics students from the rest. The year finishes with a structured head start on Units 3 and 4, so you begin Year 12 having already met the hardest content once.
We were students not long ago. We remember what was broken.
Dear students,
Your marks depended on which teacher you got. So in 2020 we built what we wish we'd had.
This is our life's work.
Checks, because we wasted months guessing what to revise. Invigilated mocks, because the kitchen table teaches you nothing about the clock. Free consultations, because charging means students ask too late.
Come sit in a class. The first weeks are free.
See you in class,
Results that speak for themselves

"The workshops changed everything. By October I'd sat the exam five times under real conditions, so the real one felt like the fifth, not the first."

These students were once in your shoes
Hey there! I'm Angad, and I can't wait for our team to help you make your Physics goals a reality!
I believe VCE Physics doesn't have to be taught in a standard, dull and boring way.
An intuitive understanding of the course can make an astronomical difference to your marks and enjoyment in VCE Physics.
With the experience of our Physics Team in representing Australia at numerous international competitions and conferences, and their involvement in academic projects and events, we’ll make it our goal to inspire you to push harder, and exceed your own expectations in VCE Physics!
But we don't just want to say this. We want to show it to you!

Grouped by school
Same school where possible, so the room shares your SAC calendar.
With your friends
Trial together and we'll place you together.
At your level
Core, Mastery or Extension, confirmed in your trial.
Not the right class? Switching classes, levels, timeslots or campuses is easy and free.

Contour is built by students, for students
We sat these exams not long ago, and we've spent every year since building the program we wish we'd had: the classes, the workbooks, the portal, all of it. It's had our whole working lives, and we hope that shows on every page of this one.
The rest is simple. One weekly fee, and a free week to see it for yourself.
Five hours a week. One weekly fee.
A 2-hour class, a 2-hour workshop, and the whole system around them. No enrolment fees, no surprises.
No credit card. If it's not right for you, walk away owing nothing.
Your week
Try a full week, free. Then decide.
Not a taster lesson. Not a sales consult. A full week inside the real program, with the real tutors, real resources and real support. Then you decide.
Not right? Walk away, nothing owed. No card, no lock-in, no risk to your family.
FAQs
Every question, answered
01
How difficult is Physics 1/2?
−
A step up from Year 10, mostly because of applying formulas to unfamiliar problems, which is why we practise problem-solving early. Electricity, thermodynamics, radiation, motion; the workshop is where it clicks.
Do you follow my school's SAC order?
+
We teach ahead of the standard sequence and run SAC-order revision: your revision weeks match your school's calendar even when topic order differs.
What level should I choose?
+
Most students choose Mastery. Want more guidance and consolidation? Extension. Placement is confirmed by a short diagnostic in your trial.
Is Physics 1/2 worth taking?
+
Yes, if you like understanding how things work and want to keep engineering or science open. It’s a good way to find out whether Physics 3/4 suits you before you commit.
02
About the program
How much does VCE Methods tutoring cost?
+
One weekly fee, shown once in the pricing section above, billed per term. It includes classes, workshops, all resources, mock exams, consultations and the text line. Nothing is sold separately.
How do classes work each week?
+
A 2-hour class that teaches ahead of school, then a 2-hour workshop where you practise under exam conditions. Both recorded, both included.
How does the free trial work?
+
Book in two minutes, experience your first week free, your class and your workshop, then decide with zero pressure. No payment details needed to trial.
Can I join mid-year and catch up?
+
Yes. Most students who join outside January start mid-term. You'll get a catch-up plan, recorded lessons for anything missed, and a consult to map the gap.
Is online the same as in-person?
+
Same tutors, same materials, live, not recordings. Workshops run with tutors in the room digitally. Some students prefer it, some don't. Trial both and pick.
Is a group really as good as 1-on-1?
+
For most students, small groups outperform 1-on-1: real peers to benchmark against, resources built properly once, and a room where everyone is trying. And unlimited 1-on-1 Consultations are included anyway, so it's not group or 1-on-1. You get both.
How will I see my progress?
+
Your marks, homework and mock results live on the Learning Portal, and your parents can see them too.
03
About Contour
Can I trial with a friend?
+
Yes, and if you both join, we'll try to place you in the same class. A third of Contour students joined with a friend.
Will it clash with school and co-curriculars?
+
Classes run across all seven days at most campuses, plus online. Pick times around training, music, work. And every class is recorded.
What happens if I miss a week?
+
Nothing is lost. Every Weekly Class and Weekly Workshop is recorded and uploaded the same night, your Weekly Workbook and Homework are waiting on the portal, and your tutor is one message away on the text line.
Can I join partway through the year?
+
Yes, any time. You start with a personalised catch-up plan, and your Dedicated Tutor tracks it until you're back at pace with the class.
How do the free 1-on-1 Consultations work?
+
Book a 15 or 30 minute video session with a tutor from the portal or the back of any booklet. Unlimited, included in the fee: a weak area, a practice exam, a revision plan, whatever you need.
What happens after the trial?
+
Love it? You continue seamlessly. Not for you? Walk away owing nothing: no card was taken, and nobody calls to talk you around.
The tutors are students, not qualified teachers. Why is that better?
+
For this specific job, recency beats tenure: someone who sat this exam in the last few years remembers what is genuinely hard and what the week before feels like. Then around 5% of applicants survive selection and the Tutor Academy before leading a class. The claim isn't that they're young. It's that they're recent, proven and vetted.
Aren't the results just selection?
+
No entrance exam, nobody turned away on results, and every figure is whole-cohort, never a selected sample. The trial diagnostic will tell you more about your child than our stats will.
My child doesn't want to.
+
That's exactly why the trial is free and obligation-free: let them feel it before anyone commits. What changes minds is almost always the room, peers who care as much as they do.
