if they're going to pay for it, why do you care if it's expensive or not?

just do it, it will help you.

hm what are you reasons for not wanting to go? if you really think you don't need tutoring then try telling them that you'll be fine yourself and persuade them to let you go one term without tutoring or something and let your results speak for urself?

failing that it would depend on which subjects you are getting tutored for. i heard north shore is better with english but then i havent gone to tutoring properly since y6 so i wouldn't really know

I reckon the Prior would be the best out of those 3. How do I know? I personally know people who go there but no one really recommednds pre-uni or northshore. And a lot of people seem to be very satisfied with the Prior.

But in my opinion Matrix kicks ass.

Prior is quite expensive. The cost is abuot $4000-5000 a year per subject.

However, I do think it's quite worth the money considering what they provide from there.

Matrix? Matrix is another tutoring college located at Strathfield. It's a pretty great tutoring college in my opinion. I remember putting a review about Matrix. I will give you the link soon.

I don't think you pay at once. For example, I paid about $1000+ a term for Matrix.

For Matrix, they provide a free tutoring class for people who wish to join. If you like it, you stay, if you don't you don't have to go.

Well, I cannot really say because I haven't attended both. I only attended Matrix. I know little about Prior from my mates who attend and they improved quite a lot (30% to 65%), so that's how I came to judge it.

And it really depends on individuals. In terms of result wise, both colleges produce pretty damn great results (50% over 95 UAI, I heard?)

And the prices are pretty much same as well. But I know that Matrix is free for two classes or whatever (they might have changed it too).

And yeah, you pay in installment (sort of)
