TSFX Methods sucks. I didn't learn a single concept, they literally ripped examples from the Essential MM textbook.  Huge waste of money. TSFX is only good for subjects like Bio and Chem because they infodump and some of the information they give is not obtainable in the textbook.

TSFX is loltarded. I didn't find their lectures to be very helpful (except for chem, that helped me a bit). The rest are quite... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I would suggest personal tutor.

What I said applies for both Masterclasses and the lectures.

Of course they'd say their masterclass is amazing, although helping students is their 'priority', it's still a company. Companies want money!

I really like their (tsfx ) notes... i just get them , but i don't attend the lectures - so i can't comment on that .... but yeah, private tutoring all the way - the only problem is this can make you sooo lazy and dependent... so only if you really need it

LOL you're right about ripping examples from methods textbook.. we literally did the exact same questions at school BEFORE tsfx ran over it.
Happy enough after one hell of a year.

TSFX Bio and Physics lectures I endorse. Actually, bio 90% endorse coz Ian is such a legend but the other lecturer....is tooo slow and a tad boring! But TSFX Physics lectures are GOLD.

I just went to the lectures and had Geoff and Greg.

Quote Greg: "Now to demonstrate the motor with one commutator: "Uh..HUH......uh..HUH....uhHUH...uhHUH" (waves his arms by his side as if he were imitating a chariot) "

ROFL! Funny thing is he did the EXACT same thing during Master Classes. There was one week where he was explaining de Broglie's wavelength theory, and made the point of particles having a wavelength by walking down the center of the room moving his hips left and right like a sine wave. Was so funny.

I had Geoff once, the last week actually. Sat at the front and suffered the heat that came out of that projector. He's good too but I much, much prefer Greg.
