Hey Guys,

Gavvsy - you cast judgement before you even know what you're talking about. The way we teach is very approachable and accessible, especially for people who are on UAIs of about 93+. It really does make things a lot easier. I can tell you some students that we teach would never get the marks they are getting now, simply because they are not diligent (rather than not intelligent). It really is about first knowing what to do and then executing, and at Talent, we are specialists at that. Try it before you criticize. I am happy to give you a free trial.

Basically, I think Talent will work for most dedicated students. It's about getting you to the next level, not for freaks of nature trying to get 100. However, we can definately cater for higher end students. If you are heading for 90, we'd try to get you to 95, on 95->97, 97->98-99, 99-> 99.5+, and if you are higher than that already, we'd try to groom you for a 99.95+ where you will get a scholarship with 50,000. That's our strategy in a nutshell, and we have the diagnositics to test it.

The HSC measures "succesful intelligence", rather than pure smarts, so if you're a good gamesman, you can do extremely well. I think too much is made of the competitive nature of tutoring and the HSC. Life is competitive. You need to deal with it, rather than complain about it. Any of the top professions in the world are competitive - politics, medicine, law, investment banking (even small Business is competitive)... if you don't, you may acheive less than you're capable of.


HisnameisChris. hahaha, I assure you they are typos. One thing about our gen is that we are better with pen and paper than laptops. Sounds like you are on top of your game - what subjects are you doing? Anyways, if you want to see exactly what UAI you are capable of, you should do a UAI Health Check. This will give you an indication of your worst, best and base case scenario. Obviously, we'd try to recommend a strategy to get you to your best case.

Hi, ShaoaO

Have you attended the Talent 100 tutoring school. Is it good? Please comment. I might want to try.

Yeah, i go to Talent 100 every saturday for Chemistry and Mathematics Extension 1.
Its really good because they give you a thorough and summarised version of a topic in their subjects. So what would usually be hard to understand in school is easy to understand there because they give you all the things you need to know for your exams. So you should give it a try

Just felt like popping in my 2 cents. Regarding Talent 100, I'm pretty sure it just opened this year, so they won't have any stats and stuff to give out, am I correct?

The only problem I have with Talent 100 is it's location, it's a pain in the ass for me to get there (I know there's 2). And I don't really trust tutors straight out of school. So I went to Intuition Education, only to get just that, but with lower UAIs, in addition it's a lot more expensive, even with the discounts.

My verdict? You could do so much worse than Talent 100, it's pretty cheap for tutoring, and they've got plenty of smart arses to boot. It's definitely worth a try. Not to mention that free trial. Give them time and and fair share of students, and it could well become a tutoring company to be reckoned with, if they don't inflate those prices =].

BTW Richard, if after this HSC year I wanted to work there, what would you be looking for HSC UAI, ie. What would be the cut off? I want to get into some tutoring, but I've seen the list, and the lowest is around 99.8 UAI, which I severely doubt I will get. I'm looking at 99.5-ish I reckon, and I'm pretty sure I can teach.

I saw the list and the lowest is 99.35 but they came 5th in Maths Ext 2 i think.
So i think you might have to specialise in something....
But woah! looking at 99.5-ish. thats heaps good.
Congrats if you get that UAI

Hi Guys,

Alice, if you would like a trial, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Senrui, I would typically agree with you with tutors just straight out of school. But Talent tutors are exceptional. They really know their stuff, they are friendly and are good at communicating. You can have general rules, but I really think we prove our salt in our service and commitment to quality.

Everything in the company is streamlined to get you the best marks in the most efficient way. That's why I am not afraid to give free trials. I believe our quality shines thorugh. We might be moving our location pretty soon - where abouts are you based?

In terms of wanting to tutor for us, there are no hard and fast rules about UAI. If you are committed, friendly, good at teaching and know your stuff, we are happy to have you on board. The key is how well you can help the students learn, NOT how good you are individually. The proccess is open. You just have to give me a 20 -30 min mock lesson, and we'll see how good you are!

Email info@talent-100.com.au if you'd like a free trial.

Regards,

Richard

Any evidence to back it up kazi? Richard, the website, and a friend of mine who posted a testimonial have convinced me enough that it's good, and I'll be attending a trial soon

Hey Richard,

I already have booked a trial lesson for Sunday, for both Physics and Extension Mathematics (I'd rather not give my identity away on BOS).

Speaking of identity. How do you know my name?

Isn't it obvious due to your BOS username? And what's the evidence to back up your obscenity against Talent 100?

If you have nothing better to say, then simply don't . You've ruined your post count.

the tutors are good
but the paperwork/ homework/notes gets quite disorganised at times,
and if you like the idea of spending 4 hours a week on one subject, go for it
