Dr Shaksshi taught 6 days ago
Shaksshi and Madi-Mei recently focused their biology lesson on the intricate anatomy of the larynx. They thoroughly reviewed the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of this vital vocal organ, discussed the Bernoulli effect's role in phonation, and distinguished between intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal membranes. Madi-Mei is set to take a mini-test on the larynx, and they've already scheduled their next lesson to explore the circulatory and lymphatic systems.

Palak Jain guided Nana through key concepts in neurobiology and sensory physiology, delving into the intricate structure of the eye, various nervous system components, and specific brain regions. Their lesson also involved tackling quiz questions on light refraction and color perception, emphasizing effective problem-solving strategies within this complex biological field. Nana has a research report due on October 3rd, and they've scheduled a follow-up lesson for Monday at 6:30 PM to discuss the assignment and review homeostasis and the central nervous system.

During their recent ecology lesson, Palak and Hussain explored the critical role of keystone species, illustrating their impact on ecosystems with examples such as purple sea stars and tigers. The discussion then shifted to energy sources, delving into the processes of photosynthesis, overall productivity, and the key differences between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Net Primary Productivity (NPP). Hussain was tasked with reviewing questions from the chapter, preparing for their next class which will commence with 'Modeling the Ecosystems'.

Palak and Hannah delved into the fascinating field of human evolution, specifically examining DNA evidence. Their discussion covered both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, crucial for tracing migration patterns and understanding our ancestral journey. Key topics included the 'Out of Africa' hypothesis, haplogroups, and the vital role of fossil records. Hannah was tasked with reviewing the material, and they arranged a follow-up lesson to continue their exploration.

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.
