Pricing FAQ

Can I join in the middle of a term?

Yes! If you are joining mid-topic or miss a lesson, we will always catch you up through resources such as detailed lesson videos and tutorials bookable with your teacher.

Can I trial the holiday program at Cognito?

No, our 2-lesson trial applies only to weekly courses. Holiday courses are intensive and have limited spots, so we don’t offer trials for them.

How does the 2 lesson trial work?

Cognito Tuition offers a 2-lesson, obligation-free trial for weekly courses. If you choose to continue, the trial lessons will be included in your invoice. If you decide that Cognito is not for you, walk away without paying anything.

Is there a lock-in period?

No, there’s no lock-in period for our weekly courses. If you choose to drop a subject at school and need to discontinue the course at Cognito, your invoice will be adjusted on a pro rata basis.

What if I can't make my lesson?

No problem! We have multiple classes running the same lesson throughout the week, so you can do a makeup at a different time. If you cannot attend a makeup lesson, we provide you the lesson booklet and all the digital resources you need to catch up, including lesson videos, and topic revision videos.

What is the cost of Cognito tutoring?

Year 11 tutoring starts from $599 for holiday programs and $800 for weekly term programs.

We offer:

  • $0 enrolment fees
  • Flexible split payment options
  • Discounts for enrolling in multiple subjects or with siblings

Why is the HSC course more expensive than the Preliminary course?

Our HSC terms are 8 weeks long whereas our preliminary terms are 7 weeks long. Being in their final, crucial year of high school, students tend to utilise our additional services such as tutorials and Slack Q&A to a much greater extent. We price our courses by approximating this utilisation rate, then averaging our expenses across the cohort. Due to the greater difficulty of the year 12 syllabus, we produce a significantly greater amount of homework questions, worksheets, webinars, videos and mock exams for our year 12 students.
