Before joining Peak, my son was struggling with his year 11 Physics ATAR.After he scored 44% on his first test we decided to give Peak a try.We had a long interview with Tristan where he explained how the curriculum worked and explained what was required to improve.I was impressed by his knowledge of the school system and especially by his insight into exam preparation.Long story short, we signed up late February 2024, and now my son just achieved 81% in his first exam (June 2024).That’s a huge improvement, thanks to Tristan and the teachers at Peak.Highly recommend!!!

Do not look elsewhere if you have a teenager who is shaken by the rapidly increasing academic pressures in year 11... when the usual A's and B's suddenly turn into a super-disorientating tumble of C's and D's (or F's!). Best to enrol early, if you can, do not wait for year 11. Our son had a pretty brutal experience during early year 11, with a real crisis of confidence as a result. We found out about Peak and then met with Tristan who showed incredible insight and sensitivity about what was happening in our teenager's world. Together with our son, Tristan produced a customised study plan to tackle the situation, and it worked. Our son enrolled through the year 11 and we cannot thank Peak enough for the most amazing teaching and support provided. The grades improved significantly, which was wonderful. However, we learned that, by far, the most important outcome was that our son's confidence grew, as well as the understanding that he was far more in control of his academic future from what he had previously believed. Five stars is not enough. We informed colleagues at work and friends with teens, as we would hate their kids to miss out.

We've had an absolute 5 star experience with Peak.Thanks team :)

Peak has greatly helped my daughter, Salma, to improve her grades and having Chemistry as one of her top four year 12 ATAR subjects after using to hate Chemistry in year 11. Peak provided weekly practice booklets that have variety of questions from other states which helps students to be more confident and getting well prepared for WACE exams. Thank you Peak education for helping Salma throughout her year 12 journey.

The best education tutoring centre ever!!!

Amazing tutors and outstanding materials. From day one the service was very professional. My daughter went to PEAK during year 11 and 12 and helped to achieve her goals. Small groups are great as allowed for a more tailored teaching and the workshops and access to study materials are an added value. Thanks PEAK Team.

Shaun enjoyed and learned lots during his time at Peak. Teachers were very good in giving clear understanding of each subjects. Will definitely recommend Peak to other parents.

Peak has helped me enormously with its weekly Methods tutoring sessions and the booklets that come with them. The resources are well structured and great at increasing your exposure to exam/test questions you may encounter. The tutors are also kind, encouraging, and helpful as they effectively help you with questions and understanding topics.

good lessons and a great class environment

Peak has helped me out so much! My marks in spec, methods and physics have gone up so much. The teachers there really care and have made sure I thoroughly understand each topic. 10/10 would recommend to anyone :]

Salma A.

The resources I got at Peak are great! They helped me excel in my tests as Peak teaches the content before schools do. I used to hate Chemistry as I found it hard to understand but now I love it because the teachers at Peak helped me understand everything which made the subject a lot easier. I’m actually motivated to study chemistry now which is so good since I’m in year 12 and chemistry is in my top 4 right now! Also the exam prep is excellent for recapping all the content and getting good exam style practice!

Harrison W.

Really helped me stay on top of maths in year 12

Very personal and kind staff with great values and teaching methods. Would highly recommend for maths and science tutoring.

Daisy M.

Peak has really helped me understand the concepts in Maths applications over the last year. Super enjoyable, highly recommend!

Zuleika H.

Since going to peak I’ve been able to improve both my methods and chemistry grades from a C to an A. Their weekly, structured lessons help me keep on track and ahead of the school curriculum. All the theory booklets breakdown concepts well and work great as study notes. They also have a wide supply of practice tests/exams that help me prepare for my assessments.

Very good! Teachers are far superior to all other tutoring services out there! It’s called Peak for a very good reason.

PEAK education has really helped me bring up my grades and pass the harder subjects at school and i would fully recommend them to everyone looking for tutoring.

Daisy W.

Amazing tutors and the facilities. Super helpful with the resources they give us!

Beau E.

Exactly what I needed, they’ve saved my grade more than once and while they won’t give you the answers, they’ll help you find them yourself.

Henry

peak is super good!! the structure of the lessons is perfect and it makes maths methods a lot easier to follow at school. the tutors are really good too; super friendly and know what theyre talking about! thankyou peak!!

Natalie M.

Tristan really believed in me since I started Peak around half way through Term 1 in year 11, 2021. He introduced me to Zach and my classmates and I got to say both Tristan and Zach welcomed me with open arms. Their workbooks are amazing and their workshops really helped me for my year 11 exams. Even though I could not continue Peak in year 12, I will always remember their passion for making tutoring enjoyable and always believing their students. I would highly recommend any high school student to come to Peak.

Marina

When we first met with the team at Peak the significant increase in my son's results seemed ambitious. But the prediction came true.Just as important was the professional way the course was run and the positive and helpful tutors.My son was just saying this evening on his last night that he's going to miss the classes.The course and results achieved are a credit to the team at Peak.Worth every cent!

Alicia P.

Mathematics specialist, Methods, Physics, Chemistry are not easy subjects but in the last two years my son was given the best possible “ tools” by Peak Education , achieving great Yr11&12 results/all90% and above/, predicted ATAR scores and now he is so confident sitting his first WACE exam next week! Weekly classwork, homework, individual tutoring,large amount of exam papers and briliant communication with teachers were the key elements in PEAK education success story, my two youngest ones will be students here soon as no other place will be preparing my children to this standard.. PEAK is for the students who are aiming to achieve outstanding results!

Tashi T.

From the first semester with Peak I could see improvement in my child's performance. She displayed more confidence too in her approaches. Thankyou very much Peak!

Harry F.

Without a doubt, the best and most effective tutoring service available in Perth. I attended a mathematics methods course here for a semester during year 12. The work booklets, test/exam revision packs and step-by-step teaching really allowed me to consolidate the content learned at school and go into assessments feeling prepared. The courses are perfect for all, from struggling students, all the way to those with above-average grades looking to become the top 5% in their cohort. Tristan and his team are great tutors and I could not recommend Peak Education enough.

Alexander N.

Peak has helped me a lot since moving from abroad, helping me catch up with my studies. Peak has had a noticeable impact on my marks over the last term. The staff are very supportive and want to help students improve their performance and understanding. They cover topics ahead of the curriculum giving us time to understand the contents before starting them in school. Great staff, great learning environment and great way to get help and catch up with school content.

Nahal H.

Since joining peak my grades have dramatically increased this is mainly due to how attentive and thorough the tutors are in explaining concepts and questions. The friendly and welcoming is something I look forward to every week! I will really miss my weekly peak classes once I graduate as they have been a highlight to my year.

Robert “Robbie” B.

I’ve been at peak since year 10, I’m Finnish year 12 now, Peak has been there through every step of the way through my ATAR journey, I’m so glad to have Peak

Peak has been absolutely fantastic in helping me achieve my goals. The program provides excellent resources and fantastic teachers to make sure I’ve been well equipped for both assessments and exams in year 12. Definitely recommend!!

namita T.

Peak is by far the best because of its friendly environment and combination of intuitive and practical learning. Not only have I developed skills for life but also made connections for life! You can tell how much effort Peak Education puts in by the quality of their booklets. Truly worth it if you’re seeking a bright future!!

Hands down best tutoring classes in Perth, high level engaging tutors and state of the art resources for every topic!

Sophie

Peak education is an enjoyable and supportive environment to learn in, where tutors have your best interests at heart. I particularly love how each session is 3 hours so that it enables sufficient time to get through significant amounts of content in comparison to many popular tutoring courses that are only an hour long. The location is also very central where public transport is so accessible.

yan

tutors are well experienced and booklets are easy to follow while going through each syllabus concept extensively

Stuti P.

Peak has really helped me in year 12 and boosted my grades. They teach the curriculum in detail and cover any concepts that are not taught thoroughly in school. Really grateful to all the teachers over there

SWAN G.

Great learning environment - awesome place for Physics, Methods, Specialist and Chemistry tutoring.

Aaliyah B.

Peak is a place that provides excellent tutoring service. They helped me further understand physics and methods content. They provide a wide variety of resources from past papers to theory booklets that explains the curriculum thoroughly.

Hong V.

Super helpful, great education service, teachers are super friendly and supportive!

Phaelan P.

Well structured lessons with great teachers that help you with any question you may have. Friendly young teachers definitely go a long way, it helps me stay focused and do the work in class, which I can see reflected in my school marks.Heaps of resources and extra help at hand, really makes my highschool life just that little bit easier.

Tris C

Peak education has had a massive impact on my grade since year 11 to 12 of my specialist course. They staff are excellent at teaching and are also good people to chat with too. It's a great learning environment with other peak students on the large sessions, while also having the one on one sessions to help improve specific areas that you need help with. Their exam prep and recourses are insanely helpful too. I could not say any other tutoring service goes to this extent in helping and ensuring you achieve the grade you want in the subjects they provide.

I've been going to PEAK for maths tutoring since 2020 and it's been incredible so far: the teachers, resources, lessons and facility are all top class. Highly recommend 👍

Jess B.

Classes here are thoroughly enjoyable. Lessons are interesting, and I find easy to concentrate throughout the whole lesson and complete the work, especially compared to studying or at school sometimes.A good assortment of practice questions and content on Maths Methods and Chemistry topics are given each week, and you can ask the teachers if you have any queries about the subject(s).Good for exam study as there are plenty of practice questions to complete. Very much recommend.

Giovanna

Peak has really helped me with physics this year! I really love the complementary workshops and practice tests/exams we can request. The booklets that are provided, I found, have definitely helped me consolidate my learning. I’ve also found myself using them for revision and as notes for tests as they provide a really good summary of the topics. The teachers are all very relatable and well versed in the Scasa curriculum as well as always being very friendly and easy to talk to. They also teach in a way that is easy to understand. I truly believe that Peak has been one of the reasons I can confidently say I passed physics this year! Definitely recommend it! :)

sofia m

I started Methods tutoring at the end of year 10, and I can genuinely see an improvement in my understanding of the content. The friendly tutors and amazing resources make every dollar worth it. It helped me so much that I also picked up the Chemistry course. Overall, 10/10, cannot recommend it more.

Goofy G.

Great service with similarly great flexibility. The classes are nicely structured and the teachers are friendly and supportive. Peak offers 1-on-1 workshops as well with a standard class-like system that provides a nice amount of flexibility and depth, which has aided my school journey significantly. Also they have beanbags :)

Mr P.

Great education service, it helped me get ahead of the curriculum with ease and easily understand all of the content for my physics class

I've been tutored at Peak for almost 2 years now, and the service is truly incredible. They really take their name literally, and have paved a path for me to reach my 'peak'.The tutors are incredible and have been extremely supportive of my studies, giving advice and help to my queries whether or not it reflects their program.100% recommend!!

Conan T.

Peak Education is unequivocally and undoubtedly one of the most useful and value-for-money tutoring institutions. They have teachers that are relatable and friendly, they are flexible with rescheduling and their teachers personally cater towards the class. They have a wide range of classes that are explained well and structured well, and they provide a trial class just to test out.It is definitely worth trying, so check it out!

Best tutoring for anyone doing WACE hands down. Peak offers amazingly structured lessons and very thorough measures in helping people grasp a concept they may not understand or have forgotten!The tutors at Peak are so friendly and helpful in consolidating information as they offer quality teaching throughout the tutoring session. From Peak's helpful theory booklets that break down large content that may be hard to process into smaller-sized easy to understand content that otherwise wouldn't be able to be found anywhere else, to their work books which offer the opportunity for further practice and their helpful one on one workshops, there is no room for struggle and the stress that it brings with it.With Peak, it is honestly so much easier to achieve the grades you want.

TheVoyager04

Absolutely would recommend! As a past student in Yr11 and Yr12 it helped to solidify my understanding to the next level. Access to so many past papers boosted my grades and made Yr12 that much more enjoyable.

Peak is, indubitably, unequivocally, wholeheartedly, the best tutoring company for high school ATAR students in need. Their adept and diligent programs allow me - and I’m sure many other students - to thrive in a course that I would otherwise find impossible. Zachary and Tristan especially allow me to achieve my potential; to call them assiduous professionals would be a gross understatement.I will always be grateful for their patience and support, and I will continue to recommend them to any high school student in need of assistance.

Thisal W.

I've followed my whole ATAR journey with Peak Education since late Yr 10, and honestly, it has been a game changer. Without Peak I think I would be lost at school, they do such a good job of simplifying the content and make sure us students have the best understanding of it. As a student who has tried many other tutoring services, Peak is by far the best because of its friendly environment and combination of intuitive and practical learning. Not only have I developed skills for life but also made connections for life! You can tell how much effort Peak Education puts in by the quality of their booklets (which are regularly updated to suit the curriculum), the extensive amount of resources on request and their workshop service for extra help. I can't thank Tristan and his team enough for helping me achieve my goals throughout my ATAR journey.

Christine B.

Tristan was great to work with. Fantastic communication and flexibility where I needed it. My daughter improved in physics where she had always struggled before going to Peak, she found that concepts were explained well and she was then able to understand and apply in class assessments. Highly recommended!

Rajan T N

Debbie C.

PEAK has been extremely supportive and catered for my daughter’s individual needs - they gave her the confidence she needed to do well in Methods... thank you Tristan

Yohrren K.

Being in PEAK has been personally life changing as not only did I get in depth knowledge on the subjects such as methods or Physics, I also learnt very purposeful pieces of knowledge that truly changed my way of thinking and made me more motivated for activities beyond school. Tristan and his team have made each and every lesson fun and engaging and the environment itself is amazing as I am surrounded by wonderful and welcoming peers and friendly staff. The content of the resources are of the best quality and are always preparing me in advance so that I am ready to cover the topic at school, in my case, Physics and Methods. I'd like to thank Tristan and his team for the amazing value they provide in my education and I highly recommend PEAK education for any students preparing for WACE.

Christopher G.

Definitely a place where students are mentored to find success in school and life beyond school!

Peak Education is a tutoring service that provides term courses, holiday courses and exam prep courses. During year 11 and 12 I took the maths methods term course and couldn't recommend it more. The course provides high quality theory books, work booklets, revision booklets and test preparation kits to ensure you are prepared for the topics. The resources and service are amazing. Tristan and his team are very helpful and are always willing to help you with any questions you have. I can't recommend the course enough.

Crispi B.

Peak Education is a tutoring service, but it feels so much more than that. It’s revision classes, practice exams with guided solutions, one on one assistance and mentor ship.Over my 2 years of study with them I took the methods years 11 & 12 classes and the physics 12 class. Great atmosphere and friendly staff and students. Can’t recommend enough!
