Not your average holiday workshop

You’ll cover core HSC content in a UNSW lecture theatre, taught by Contour’s Heads of Subject and Senior Tutors. They deliver exactly what you can’t get anywhere else - the inside knowledge, the examiner tendencies, the high-leverage techniques that actually move scores.

In three hours, you’ll cover more ground than a week of self-study

Built Around Your Assessments

Every session is structured around the specific content and skills being assessed in your upcoming assessments - not generic exam prep.

Tips You Won't Find in Textbooks

Our Heads of Subject and senior tutors share the high-level strategies, common traps, and marking insights that only come from years of teaching this content at the elite level.

Your Own Printed Workbook

Every student receives a printed workbook to follow along and keep. Structured for the session, useful long after it.

Interactive Q+A with Expert Tutors

Ask the questions you've been sitting on. Our tutors and assistant tutors are on hand throughout, and there's dedicated Q&A time built into every session.

Genuine Subject Expertise

These sessions are led by Contour's Heads of Subject and Senior Tutors - educators in the top 1% and 99+ ATAR scorers who don't just know the curriculum, they helped build the best materials for it. Expect depth, not slides read off a screen.

Tailored to How Assessments Are Actually Marked

We teach to the assessment, not just the content. Our tutors know what examiners reward and how to get you there efficiently.

The Contour Difference - Live

At first my son join Contour for only Methods and Chemistry. And he has improved in both subjects and he decides to add on Bio and Med prep. The tutors in Contour are amazing, they are very helpful and detailed.

Honestly you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not joining Contour for their UCAT course. From skill set to mindset they've got you covered. Going into my UCAT prep I had the motivation to do well but with something as obscure as the UCAT.
