VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 Tutoring

Specialist Maths 3 and 4 is the most demanding subject on the VCE maths ladder, and the one where preparation shows most clearly. You'll move from functions, proof and complex numbers through vectors and the calculus core, then into differential equations, kinematics and statistical inference, with exam technique paired to every topic. The year ends with a structured exam program that works through every Area of Study and the separator questions where the top band is decided.

The Program

One program, three layers of support

Most tutoring gives you an hour a week and hopes for the best. The Contour [Subject] program is built in three layers, so learning, practice and personalised support all happen every single week.

Tutoring

Learn it properly

Your weekly foundation. New content taught before school gets there, first principles built, misconceptions caught early.

Weekly 2-hour class, small groups, at your campus or live online
A 2-hour workshop every week: exam-condition practice with tutors on the floor
Taught ahead of school, so class becomes your revision
Hard-capped groups, matched by school and friends where possible
Every class recorded and uploaded to your portal

Included in your weekly enrolment

Resources

Practise it deeply

Where marks are actually won. Structured practice that turns understanding into fast, accurate exam performance.

Weekly workbook with theory, worked examples and tips
[#] purpose-built resources, matched to the VCAA study design
A Contour Check for every Area of Study, your revision roadmap
At least 10 practice SACs per Area of Study, across application, modelling and problem-solving tasks
10 Contour Exams to sit in your own time, plus four invigilated mock exams
Contour Bound Reference and the CAS Hub, built for SACs and the exam

Included in your weekly enrolment

Support

Get help your way

Because nobody learns exactly the same way. Personalised support built around you, not bolted on as an extra.

The [Subject] text line: message your tutor when you're stuck, late-night SAC prep included
Unlimited free 1:1 consultations on your specific weak areas
Catch-up plans if you join mid-year or fall behind
Exam strategy and study skills guidance

Included in your weekly enrolment

Try all three layers free for a week

How it works

Your weekly learning journey at Contour

Seven touchpoints, every single week. This is what a week of [Subject] looks like inside the program, from your first class to your last question answered at 9pm.

Your week starts

Learn from engaging and passionate tutors

Your weekly 2-hour class covers new [Subject] content ahead of school, taught from first principles by tutors who scored 45+ raw in the subject. Small groups mean every question gets answered, and every misconception gets caught before it costs marks.

See walkthroughs from past high achievers

Watch how raw-50 scorers actually set out their working, structure extended responses and manage exam time.

Practise and clarify your doubts in class

Work through curated problems with your tutor beside you, so confusion never survives the week it appeared in.

Do weekly homework to consolidate learning

A targeted homework booklet locks in each week's content with high-yield questions and fully worked solutions.

Attend workshop for additional practice

A bonus weekly workshop tackles harder, exam-style problems and SAC preparation, at no extra cost.

Review and practise at home on our Learning Portal

Recordings, resources, practice stations and answer guides, available anytime from any device.

Message your tutor whenever you're stuck

Stuck on a question the night before your SAC? Message the [Subject] text line and get a proper explanation, not a link to a video. Learning does not stop when class ends, and neither does the support.

Then it repeats, every week until the November exam

Experience a full week of it, free

Your Tutors

Guided by expert tutors, not a tutor lottery

Every tutor here has been carefully selected (around 5% of applicants make it through the Contour Tutor Academy), then trained and supported to deliver at a consistently high standard, across every class, campus and time slot.

Meet

Ramodh Jayasinghe

This is some text inside of a div block.

Hey! I'm Ramodh and I can't wait to help make your medicine goals a reality!

Having been through Medicine entry, I’ve seen first-hand how it’s often over-complicated and misunderstood as a daunting and complex process, which requires hours of daily preparation to even stand a chance of getting in.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Personally, I adopted a completely different approach, which focused on developing the precise set of skills tested with an emphasis on mastering the mindset needed to succeed in medicine entry.

During the program, we'll focus on these exact high-yield methods of UCAT and medical interview preparation.

Through engaging tutoring and personalised support, I'll make it my goal to give you (or your son/daughter) a clear pathway on how to prepare for your university entrance journey.

Together we’ll maximise your chances at getting into medicine.

I also believe it’s not only the tutoring or resources that make a good tutor, but importantly the support you receive during, and outside of class.

That’s why I’ll always be there with prompt replies to any questions or concerns you have, and I’ll always be working hard behind the scenes to help, motivate, and coach you along your journey to Medicine!

Bonus weekly workshops

A second session every week, at no extra cost

Class is where you learn it. Workshop is where you sharpen it.

Exam 1 and Exam 2 in the same room. Each workshop drills tech-free algebra speed, then CAS technique, because [Subject] is won on both.
SAC-week revision mode. In the lead-up to school assessments, workshops pivot to targeted SAC preparation for the topics you're being tested on.
Spaced repetition built in. Every workshop revisits earlier topics, then finishes with beyond-curriculum extension problems for students who want them.
Recorded and uploaded, so you never lose a workshop to a clash with sport, work or a school event.

SACs, mocks & the exam

Walk into every assessment like you own the place

Every SAC and the November exam is rehearsed before it counts.

At least 10 practice SACs per Area of Study, built to mirror real [Subject] assessments including the mathematical investigations many schools run.
10 Contour Exams to sit in your own time, structured exactly like the real thing and fully worked.
Four invigilated mock exams across Terms 1, 2 and 3 plus a SWOTVAC mock, sat under real timed conditions, fully marked and returned with a breakdown of the topics to focus on next.
A dedicated exam revision program from [exam revision start date], covering every Area of Study and hundreds of past VCAA questions.

Curriculum

Exactly what you'll cover, term by term

The full VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 study design, with exam technique trained alongside every topic so every SAC and the November exam arrives when you're already prepared. Tap any Area of Study to see the detail.

AOS 1

Algebra, Number & Structure

The proof and complex-number core: circular and rational functions, formal proof, complex numbers and complex subsets, drilled with paired exam-skills sessions from week one.

Circular functions · Rational functions · Proofs · Complex numbers · Complex subsets

AOS 2

Calculus

The calculus heart of Specialist: differentiation, integration techniques and their applications, then differential equations and their applications. This is the heaviest content strand and the one that most rewards being taught ahead of school.

Differentiation · Integration techniques · Applications of integration · Differential equations · Applications of differential equations · SAC revision

AOS 3

Space & Measurement

Vectors, vector equations and their applications, kinematics and vector functions: the geometry and mechanics of motion in three dimensions.

Vectors · Vector equations · Applications of vector equations · Kinematics · Vector functions

AOS 4

Data Analysis, Probability & Statistics

Statistical inference: sampling distributions and hypothesis testing, the newest and most exam-relevant strand in the course.

Sampling · Hypothesis testing

ALL YEAR

Exam Technique

Exam skills paired to every topic all year, because in Specialist the gap between knowing content and executing under time pressure is where most marks are lost.

Exam skills per topic · Tech-free fluency · CAS technique

TERM 4

Exam Preparation

A structured ten-part revision program working through every Area of Study in sequence, finishing with the separator questions where the top band is decided, before the November VCAA exams.

AOS-by-AOS exam revision · Separator questions · Timed exam practice · Exam technique

See the full curriculum in a free trial week

Built for Specialist

Not generic tutoring. Specialist-specific weapons.

Specialist Maths is won on proof, complex numbers and vector fluency held together under time pressure. So we built resources that target exactly those.

One per Area of Study

Contour Checks

The revision roadmap that tells you exactly what to study and exactly how to practise it, one for every Area of Study. It opens by breaking the Area of Study into clear learning objectives so you can see instantly what you know and what needs work, then gives you Contour-written questions that ramp from one chilli to three, and finishes on real VCAA questions across the whole Area of Study. No more guessing what 'revise' actually means the week before a SAC.

TI-Nspire & Casio, one per Area of Study

The CAS Hub

Australia's most complete calculator learning system, included from the day you enrol. Start with a beginners course and live bootcamps that get your CAS set up and working, then move into a CAS Skills section inside every Area of Study: short lessons on the exact workflows that Area of Study rewards, a live workshop at the end of each one, and a support centre for setup, updates and troubleshooting. The difference between five minutes of working and thirty seconds is a workflow, and we teach every one of them.

Exam 2 legal

Contour Bound Reference

The exam-legal reference built from thousands of past questions: every formula, model solutions to high-frequency question types, and the layouts that let you find anything in seconds under pressure.

My daughter is doing interview preparation with Contour, and I am equally confident in the quality of their program for this next stage. Ultimately, whether you want to invest in UCAT exam and interview preparation is a personal decision. However, based on our experience, I can say it is definitely worth the money.

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.

Contour has honestly been one of the best decisions I made for UCAT preparation. They break everything down into clear, manageable steps - the roadmap and priming workbooks were super helpful resources for knowing exactly what to work on. I’m so glad I joined - it completely shifted my mindset and how I approached the UCAT. Would 100% recommend.

What's included each week?

A two-hour live class with a primary and secondary tutor, weekly homework with worked solutions, full Contour Learning Portal access, regular in-class mocks, and unlimited one-on-one support. Writing students also receive unlimited essay feedback.

What year levels is it for?

From the end of Year 6 to the exam in the middle of Year 8, across three stages: Foundation, Core, and Mastery. Students can join at any stage.

What if I still have questions?

Reach out at hello@contoureducation.com.au and our team will be happy to help.

My child has never prepared for a selective exam before. Is that ok?

Absolutely. The program takes a student from first exposure to exam-ready, and students join at every stage of preparation.

Is this suitable for John Monash Science School?

No. John Monash uses a different entrance exam with a different format. This program prepares students for the Victorian Selective Entry exam.

In person or online?

Both. Choose a campus or join live online. The program is identical either way.

How will I know how my child is progressing?

Every student is benchmarked against the full Contour cohort, and you engage in a 1-on-1 Strategy Consultation after each major mock, so you always know where they stand and what to work on next.

How much does it cost?

A flat $80 per week, per subject, across all stages. Materials and the Contour Learning Portal are included. No hidden fees.

How is the program structured?

A three-stage pathway taken in sequence: Foundation builds the underlying skills, Core develops speed and accuracy, and Mastery sharpens technique under full timed conditions. Most providers start in Year 7; we start at the end of Year 6, so students arrive conditioned, not crammed.

Can we try it first?

Yes. Every family is invited to a one-week, obligation-free trial: a baseline diagnostic, a class in each subject of interest, and a one-on-one review of the results. Come and experience it before deciding anything.

Pricing

Transparent pricing. Everything included.

No enrolment fees, no resource fees, no surprise extras. One weekly price covers the entire Methods 3/4 system.
