An updated guide to preparing for and completing the upcoming VCE Physics exam.

Jesse answers last week’s follower questions • Resources and achieving a 40+ study score • Holiday tutorial times available!

This was a conversation I had with one of my year 12 physics students about their idea to measure variables such as muscular force of contraction, vertical jump height and speed. This originally came about from a look at satellite launches and the independence from mass with exit velocity being solved as the square root of 2gh where h is the orbita…

A super short cut from one of my tutes with Business Management student, Anthony, explaining what inventory management is and how it can impact cash flow in the hospitality industry.

In this episode I sit down with one of our past students, Kayla who graduated back in 2013 after completing maths tutoring in her final year of VCE. Kayla achieved her goal of becoming a primary teacher and is now in her second year of teaching, working with prep students in Fawkner. In it, we talk about the path to teaching and what its like on a …

This was a short discussion from one of my tutes late last year where I explain the three methods of depreciation (flat rate, reducing balance and unit cost) and the differences between them

This one is a bite sized summary of the internal and external business environments and how to tell them apart

part three of our 'marketing a business' series looks at why market segmentation and product targeting can lead to higher profits and why choosing a niche market may be better than going for a larger audience

Here I talk with one of my business students about the practicality of running effective market research and how to develop a product for target customers

Here I work with one of my VCE Business Management students on the topic of marketing. This talk looks at what marketing is and the relative importance of customer service to certain business models

A short discussion with one of my year 10 students discussing a new text analysis essay o Shakespeare's Macbeth. Who is the ultimate villain? How can we create novel ideas in our essays?

This was a short take from a tute with onr of my VCE students who had some questions about how to go about structuring a persuasive piece in response to existing articles

A quick explanation about the differences between acids, bases and their conjugates with one of my year 11 chemistry students

This was a quick chat I had with one of my year 12 students abput preventing procrastination and my strategies for maintaining self discipline

I had a great discussion with one of my year 10s about choosing a career path and selecting subjects in his VCE next year.

In this episode we talk about what current is. How voltage is related to energy and what is a resistor.

in this podcast we investigate electricity, electric charthes, what is a coulomb and we will go through some examples of electro-static electricity

this episode looks at how we measure radiation and what the effects of this radiation is in tissues

In this podcast we talk about the applications of Nuclear Decay in real life. We also talk about the concept of half life and how this can be put to good use in radio-carbon dating.

this episode is dedicated to the nuclear decay that occurs in unstable atoms. alpha, beta and gamma decays are discussed
