Hover to see the
trends we're fighting...

We're frustrated. So we're building
a better way to work.

We've slowly been witnessing an alarming dehumanization trend as the tuition industry keeps growing. But students aren't memory sponges or computers, they're humans.


Student learning online with mentor support

Here's what we've got so far.

Our learning model places the limitations and strengths of your complex brain at the forefront.


A Learning Model That Stays With You

We don't just teach. Our goal is to help students think, grow, and stay consistent. Our model takes your flaws and strengths, into account. We do the hard work, while you do the smart work.

1.

Click

We make it click first. Before anything sticks, it has to make sense. Our tutors connect new ideas to what you already know, using real-world links, visuals, or short stories that make it intuitive.

See Also: Priming, dual coding, schema theory

2.

Crack

Now we break it down. We work through real questions together, slowly at first, then faster, until you understand the β€œwhy” behind each step. Not just solving, owning the process.

See Also: Cognitive apprenticeship, scaffolding

3.

Link

Our Secret Ingredient

Here's where we're better than the rest. Your brain's inherent mental model operates on causal relationships and mental links: cause and effect. There's no need to abstract over the true nature of your brain. Ditch memorization. Ditch long-winded notetaking. Ditch formulas. Embrace the intuitive links we teach you.

See Also: Causal reasoning, neuronal networks, the limits of encoding while note-taking

4.

Repeat

Class ends. Learning doesn’t. Every session finishes with a personalised summary, targeted revision tasks, and a clear path to the next week. Plus, your tutor is always a Slack message away.

We Don't Just Hire ATARs. We Hire Mentors

Many tutoring centres hire purely based on HSC results, but that doesn't guarantee great teaching. At Synopsis, our tutors are not only high-achievers β€” they're selected for their ability to communicate, mentor, and build long-term academic confidence.
