Mathematics

Somewhere down the line as you go through the Preliminary course and into the HSC, you may consider whether to seek maths tutoring. The advantage of choosing GETIIT maths is that so many places offer mathematics tutoring, students have a nice selection of maths tutors to choose from.

Students will also have to decide about whether to seek out a private tutor for maths, or maths tuition classes. Each means of maths tutoring has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there are situations where one is appropriate and the other is not. To illustrate, generally speaking, class tuition is not suitable for students on either extremity of the ability spectrum - those that are exceptionally advanced and those that cannot follow on in a class environment. Those students may benefit more from a private tutor.

On the other hand, students that fall within the majority of the bell curve can benefit greatly from a class environment due to some or all of the following factors:

Structured environment: reputable maths tutoring providers will always provide learning materials, homework, and feedback and deliver their program in a structured way. This is the main thing private tutoring lacks.

Healthy competition:between peers (students know exactly how well they're doing relative to a sample of above-average students)
Quality teachers: with private tuition, there's no guarantee as to the quality of your tutor, whereas reputable tuition providers will always hire high quality tutors as they are experienced in finding and training talented educators.

That's not to say the more talented individuals benefit less from a structured environment. Often, students find it is of greater benefit to be able to follow a structured study regime which can guarantee a comprehensive coverage of the entire course, rather than leaving it to private tuition, with a teaching approach that can leave gaps in their understanding.
The choice also comes down to economic factors. Private tutors often cost several times the cost of enrolling into a class-structured course.
