VCE Tutor without having done VCE ?

[Sense]

I was just wondering if paying for a tutor that hasn't completed VCE themselves going to work ?
I will be moving to Canberra but still completing VCE via Distance Education, and I have found a tutor who has a PHD in Chemistry and offers tutoring for both Biology and Chemistry. Would I be better off doing it through Skype with someone who knows the curriculum even though I find it a lot easier to learn face to face?

Learn face to face. You tell them what you need to know for VCE, they teach it to you. Skype learning sucks and it's a poor trade-off.

I had skype tutoring at one point and I can vouch for it. There wasn't actually a whole lot difference to interacting in person. This was for humanities though - I think the process could be more difficult if you're learning chem. However - and I'm just speculating - I think skype tutoring for biology would work fine.

If you give the tutor with the PhD a copy of the study design and a few VCAA past exams, I doubt there'd be much of a difference between him/her and someone who teaches or has done the course themselves =)
