Course Goals

Improve Academic Performance

Biology is the study of living things and living things are made of living units. From the smallest bacterium to the largest animals, it all begins with the humble cell. As we work through the HSC Biology course, you will understand how cooperative units interact to make living things function and ace your Year 12 assessments!

Build Confidence and Resilience

"Cause and effect" is the mantra for most of science, and this is equally true for biology. Our tutors will ensure you have a deep understanding of the significance of the structure and form of living things, and then how these structures contribute to the function. This will help you build confidence in predicting phenomena in HSC Biology.

Appreciate the Applications of Biology

The same basic living processes that are revisited time and time again are true for almost all living things. After our Biology course, you will come to recognise that most (if not all) living things are not so different after all and that the biological concepts you learn can be seen everywhere you go, even in your own body.

Reviews

Highly recommend YGA for the support the tutors give every week (very responsive outside the class) and constantly going above and beyond to always make us feel they’re always there for us whenever we need help! Love how interactive the physics classrooms are which makes learning more enjoyable.
Claudia Fava

Even though Maths Extension 2 is a very daunting subject, the tutors there go above and beyond to explain everything, even outside class time! I love how passionate the tutors are with maths and physics, this motivates me to learn more than what school teaches me and makes the learning process more enjoyable.
Abbas Zaidi
Penrith Anglican College
YGA has made me feel more confident in myself and my capabilities - has allowed me to express and share my doubts without any second thought when it comes to maths extension 1. Proud to be part of the YGA community and haven’t regretted my decision to ever join this community.
