Classes
All of our classes are recorded live. If you miss a class we can organise catch-up either at our campus or at home. Please ensure that you contact the BT team to arrange catch-ups.
Individual Tutorials
If you are unable to attend class - please arrange an alternative time with your tutor 24 hours prior to your class. No credits will be given for cancellations within the 24 hour period.
Does Breakthrough Education offer one-on-one tuition?
Breakthrough Education offers exceptional group classes taught by our Head Tutor Kevin Xiao. If one-on-one tuition is preferred, please speak to the BT team to see which tutor is available. Our team of tutors consists of experienced VCE teachers, assessors and past students.
Can I join in mid-term once classes have started?
Classes are often filled up very quickly at the start of the year so make sure to register as soon as you can to secure a spot. If you were successful in getting a place after classes commenced, Breakthrough Education will require students to attend some catch up classes on the challenging and critical topics covered in the previous lessons missed.
