Palak taught 23 days ago
Palak assisted Nana with an assignment on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), meticulously reviewing the abstract, body, and conclusion. Their discussion focused on the normal physiology, pathophysiological disruptions, and therapeutic drugs relevant to ALS, along with proper referencing and paper structure. Nana will review the updated paper, and a follow-up lesson is scheduled to address any remaining questions.

Dr Shaksshi taught 23 days ago
Shaksshi led Mohadesa in an anatomy lesson, thoroughly reviewing the bony anatomy of the arm. Their discussion focused on the carpal bones, humerus, ulna, and radius, covering key anatomical features, articulations, and mnemonics. Mohadesa's homework involves labeling arm bone diagrams, and Shaksshi will send annotated diagrams from their lesson.

Palak and Nana recently collaborated on refining Nana's biology assignment about ALS. Their work focused on aligning the abstract and body with specific marking criteria, addressing issues like word count, missing elements in the abstract (such as normal physiological function and a synthesis statement), and enhancing the discussion on how ALS impacts homeostasis and potential treatments. Palak will finalize the assignment and send it to Nana, with a follow-up lesson scheduled to review the final version.

Dr Shaksshi taught 24 days ago
Shaksshi introduced a student from Moreno Valley College to the anatomy of the upper limb, covering the joints of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand, along with their associated bones and muscles. The student was assigned homework to identify the bones forming each of the five joints discussed. Shaksshi also requested a PDF of the learner's anatomy book to align future lessons with its content.

Sakshi and Madi-Mei recently delved into the intricacies of the brain stem during their biology lesson, focusing on cranial nerves and the autonomic nervous system. Their discussion covered the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, specific cranial nerves (3, 7, 9, and 10), and essential sensory and motor tracts like the dorsal column and spinothalamic tracts. To assess Madi-Mei's understanding of these neuroanatomy topics, Sakshi assigned a test for Sunday.

Palak taught about 1 month ago
Palak discussed population ecology with a student from UNC Greensboro, covering topics such as telemetry, GPS tracking of animals, population density, carrying capacity, and factors affecting population growth. The student also reviewed different distribution patterns and survivorship curves. Their lesson touched on wildlife conservation, including culling and captive breeding programs, and they plan to continue with Chapter 6 in the next lesson.

Talking biology: What Aussie students really want to know
Why biology support is often needed beyond the classroom
Biology begins with big questions about life, but for many students across Australia, it becomes a subject full of detail, diagrams, and dense terminology. Whether you're in Year 10 science or studying for VCE Units 3 and 4, biology often demands more than just classroom notes and textbook reading. Tutoring provides a chance to slow down, make sense of difficult topics, and approach the subject with confidence.
Why does biology start out easy, then suddenly feel impossible?
Because it shifts quickly. In Years 9 and 10, biology is often taught as part of general science. It’s facts, diagrams, and interesting experiments. But once you reach senior secondary, especially HSC Biology in NSW or VCE Units 3 and 4 in Victoria, things get more layered. There’s more depth, more detail, and a lot more to memorise.
Many students in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney find that topics like homeostasis, DNA replication, or immune response aren’t just about knowing facts, but explaining processes clearly under timed exam conditions. That’s where the pressure builds, and tutoring helps break it down step by step.
Is biology just memorisation or is there more to it?
It’s definitely more than memorisation. Good biology students know how to explain ideas, draw connections, and interpret data. In ATAR exams across Western Australia or QCE assessments in Queensland, students are expected to analyse graphs, evaluate evidence, and write structured responses.
Tutoring helps students shift from passive reading to active learning. Instead of re-reading notes, students practice answering real questions, learning how to structure responses in a way that gets marks. That approach is especially helpful for visual learners or students who freeze under pressure.
What if I want to study medicine, nursing, or science at uni?
Then biology matters a lot. Courses at the University of Sydney, Monash, ANU, and UQ often list biology as assumed knowledge. First-year topics like cell biology, genetics, or biochemistry can be tough if you struggled with the basics in high school.
Many uni students come back to tutoring in first year when they realise they’re relearning content they didn’t fully grasp during Year 12. Getting support earlier helps smooth that transition and builds confidence before things speed up.
