Title: TSFX or NEAP, which do you recommend?
Post by: brightsky on July 01, 2010, 08:41:16 pm
My sister is looking for a tutor in Methods and she's deliberating between two companies: TSFX and NEAP? Which do you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance. :)

For methods, i would go with Dr He if you can get in, he really is awesome and explains everything really well and takes everything to a high level that make you view normal school as much easier.

But if you had to chose between the two....well i haven't done neap, but i know tsfx is good. Their notes are really good and most of their lecturers are also really good. The only methods tsfx lecturer i have a problem with is Chris Ireson, he is quite clueless....

The problem is the Dr He timetable clashes with her Chinese classes, so yeah. She's going to the TSFX Winter School to check it out next week, but dunno if NEAP would be better. From some of the posts on VN, TSFX classes have gained two-sided reviews.

I've never had structured ongoing tutoring from either companies as i'm from rural Victoria, but from the brocures produced by these companies and the guilt tripping involved (such as you should have your notes already done and be studying right now) not to mention the details of student achivement and amazing enter scores of past students I would say they both offer really good lectures. ( you would hope so with the price!) I went to a chemistry revision lecture with TSFX and they gave me amazing notes, I learnt my material, was confidant but i did not perform to my best capacity on the day of mid year exams :(  It all ccomes down to how your sister choses to use that information, the tutor cant do the exam with her so her own effort is needed as well.
