The YYC Chem Confidence Program helps Year 11 and Year 12 VCE Chemistry students stop memorising random steps and start understanding how to apply chemistry in SACs and exams.
Taught by Katherine, a former senior VCE Chemistry teacher and textbook author.
For parents: give your child structured weekly support, expert resources, and a calmer path through VCE Chemistry.
😩 SAC marks aren't movingYou're putting in the hours but your scores don't show it. It feels like the effort isn't worth it.
🤯 You memorise, not understandYou can recall the steps but if the question is worded differently, you're stuck.
😶 Too scared to ask in classYour school teacher goes fast and asking questions feels embarrassing. You just... don't.
😬 Exams stress you outWalking into a chem SAC or exam feels like walking into the unknown — even after revising.
I was on the verge of dropping chemistry, averaging around 30% on my SACs and not passing a single one in Year 11. Two chem teachers told me to drop it, but I decided to give it one more shot and found Katherine on TikTok. By the end of Year 11, I was actually passing chem for once. Katherine helped me understand concepts in a way that made sense to me. It wasn't just about reading notes and answering questions; it was about understanding why things were right or wrong. She built my confidence, and in Year 12, I scored 75% and above on all my SACs, even hitting 98% on one! I ended the year with a study score of 44, and I couldn't have done it without Katherine!
These results are examples of what is possible when students attend consistently, complete the practice, and learn how to apply chemistry rather than simply memorise it.
This is not random week-to-week tutoring. It is a structured program built around understanding, exam-style practice, feedback, and repetition.
Year 12 runs Wednesdays 5:30–7pm. Year 11 runs Mondays 5:30–7pm. Small groups so you can actually ask questions without feeling weird about it.
Built fresh each week based on where the class is struggling — not generic. You practice the exact style of questions that come up in SACs and the exam.
Clear, exam-aligned notes for the entire year. Students have called them "so so helpful" — they're constantly updated based on your cohort's questions.
Miss a session? Life happens. Every class is recorded so you can rewatch before SACs, catch up when you're sick, or revisit anything that didn't stick the first time.
Ask questions between classes, clarify difficult concepts, and get support when you are stuck.
We do questions under exam conditions in every session. Students say this alone made them faster and more confident going into SACs.
I'm a former senior VCE Chemistry teacher and VCE textbook author. I know the study design inside-out, I know what VCAA actually wants in answers, and I know how to make chem feel simple.
I'm not here to re-read the textbook at you. I'm here to help you understand why chemistry works the way it does — so you can actually apply it in a SAC, not just recognise it on a flashcard.
My classes are small, low-key, and judgement-free. Students wear pyjamas. They ask dumb questions (there aren't any). They actually learn.
Chem was my 'bottom two' subject coming into Year 12 and I didn't plan to put in much effort, but as the year progressed with each YYC session, I just felt myself finding genuine interest in it more and more — it didn't even feel like study by exams (something about your magic!!). I think I really can tell myself that 'yeah I can' now.
I got a raw 43 in chem which rounded all the way up to a 46! At the start of the year I was really struggling to pick up the concepts and calculations. I know I could not have done this well in chem without your help. I ended up getting a 99.6 ATAR and duxing my school — I really do feel like your encouragement and belief in my abilities gave me confidence across all my learning.
Chem's going great — I'm actually top of my class at the moment and my chem teacher is shocked at how much I've improved since last year!
I went from failing all my chemistry SACs last year to being above average on every single one of my SACs this year with the help of Katherine. I truly believed I would have failed chemistry this year if it wasn't for Katherine — the way she describes concepts and questions to make such complex problems seem so simple and doable is a skill.
I finally was able to understand chemistry. In Year 11, I struggled to answer questions because I only memorised steps. This year, Katherine enabled me to learn chemistry in a way I never was able to — I was finally entering SACs with the confidence of not just knowing what to do, but WHY I was doing it.
Katherine assisted me in getting ahead and being more confident in my SACs which allowed me to go from a 69% to an 86%. My average has also increased. Katherine has a great can-do attitude and explains chem in a way I really understand.
YYC has genuinely taken me from being hesitant to studying chemistry, to doing questions for fun and enjoying the theory of the design. From using different approaches to providing an absolute plethora of resources, YYC will do it all.
Before her guidance, complex concepts felt overwhelming. Katherine is so good at breaking down intricate topics. She uses tailored examples that directly correlate with exam questions, which significantly improved my application skills. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any student aiming for clarity and excellence!
I went failing chem and hating chem to passing chem with flying colours (still don't like chem lol) but this was all because of Katherine helping me this year. She's really friendly and casual which makes lessons super comfortable, but you can tell she is SO passionate about chemistry.
My first SAC score was a medium high, but after starting tutoring I scored consistent very highs and excellents throughout the rest of the year. My confidence in tackling questions that initially confused me really improved — I now feel like I have a range of strategies to help me answer questions.
I could not recommend Katherine more! She has helped me immensely and her explanations are unmatched. My understanding and confidence in chem has improved so much. Without the tutoring and all the resources she provides, I would be feeling so much worse going into exams.
Katherine is a phenomenal Chemistry teacher. You're covering the same content you go over at school but with exam-style questions, so you're not learning two things at once — you're mastering what you're learning as you go. Katherine is superrr amazing because her classes cater for anyone and everyone.
No complicated system. Just four things, done well, week after week.
Join online each week. Ask questions in real time. See how other students think through problems. Small groups mean you actually get noticed.
Practice exam-style questions made specifically for where your cohort is struggling that week.
Lock concepts in before SACs by rewatching key moments. Students say recordings are invaluable for last-minute revision.
Steady improvement over the term. By exam time, you walk in having done hundreds of exam-style questions. That's the difference.
YYC is for students who want more structure, resources, and exam practice than traditional weekly tutoring usually provides. Classes are capped at 15, so you can ask questions and get seen without paying 1:1 prices. You also receive recordings, full-year notes, targeted worksheets, and support between sessions. If you need private one-on-one attention every minute, 1:1 tutoring may be a better fit. That is completely fine.
Every enrolment includes weekly live classes, exam-style worksheets, full-year notes, class recordings, and student support. Classes are capped at 15 students.
Classes are capped at 15 students. When it's full, it's full.
Attend the first two live classes, use the worksheets, and watch the recordings. If YYC does not feel like the right fit, email me and I will refund the unused portion of your enrolment. No awkward conversations.
Every session is recorded. You can watch any time, and ask follow-up questions inside the private student support community. Missing a class doesn't mean falling behind.
That's exactly the point. I cap classes at 15 students so I can actually see where people are getting stuck and adjust on the fly. You're not a number in a lecture hall.

If there's still a seat available, yes. Otherwise you'll go on the waitlist — when a spot opens up, we email in order. The earlier you put your hand up, the better.
I build them weekly based on what I saw the class struggle with in the previous session — then refine based on your feedback. They're exam-style, so you're practicing exactly what comes up on the day.
Nope. Some students have their camera on, some don't. Some literally roll up in their pyjamas. The vibe is relaxed — what matters is that you're learning, not how you look while you do it.
You don't pay anything until just before the term starts. But saying yes now means you're locking in your spot — once the class fills, it closes. No exceptions.
Semester enrolment secures your place for 18 weeks and includes the live VCE Chemistry Exam Strategy Clinic. It also means you do not need to re-enrol halfway through the year or risk losing your class place.
