Get Unstuck in HSC Maths Workshop
Thinking is a fundamental skill, but many math courses teach methods followed by practice. To get unstuck in this year’s HSC maths questions, you need to know how to think.
The Unstuck Workshop has three stages, Examination, Engineering and Evaluation.
The Examination Stage
We’ll examine the basics and select only the tools needed for the second stage. Tools are formulas, key ideas and concepts required to solve problems.
The Engineering Stage
The second stage is called Engineering. Here you will learn how to engineer solutions to HSC-style problems. You’ll learn how to analyse each question, what to do when you’re stuck, tips, and strategies to quickly help you unstuck on any question.
The Evaluation stage
Again, you evaluate your ideas, strategies, and alternative methods. In this stage, you’ll deepen your understanding of the concepts.
More About The Workshop
Overview
- 1 session, 8 hours total
- Online face-to-face
- $295 incl GST
- Tutor and Coach – Seth Pal
Delivery style
Delivered as a one-day activity-face-to-face online where we will explore and apply mathematical knowledge and skills in a combination of teaching, and problem-solving sessions. Practice problems are carefully chosen to help you learn how to think and you will receive immediate feedback.
Outcome
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Critically evaluate your own and others’ solutions to improve the quality of responses in assessment tasks.
- Interpret the mathematical language of examination questions to engineer the steps for quality solutions.
- Identify the different strategies and techniques to solve examination questions.
- Manage time effectively during examinations.

Meet Your Coach
Seth Pal
Seth Pal has been teaching Mathematics since 1996 at both University and High School levels.
He has extensive experience in marking at HSC levels and in examination setting for the Stage 6 Mathematics, Extension I & II courses. Seth is currently the head of Mathematics at Inspiration Point where he specialises in preparing students at Stage 6 level.
“My favourite part about Seth’s teaching is how confident he makes you feel in maths. He is the sole reason I switched from doing 2U to 4U in the HSC and it really boosted my ATAR. No matter how busy he is, he will always take the time to help his students and will offer different solutions to the same problem to make it easier to understand.”
Seth Pal is a Maths teacher of extraordinary ability who consistently achieved outstanding results with his students at Pal College. As a former colleague, I can testify that Seth is a Maths and teaching genius who can take students to very great heights in a short amount of time. Teachers like Seth come along once in a lifetime. Nobody does it better.
The Workshop focus on understanding the maths rather than rote learning, as well as teaching alternative methods allowed me to get ahead of other students, therefore allowing me to get a 96 in Extension 1 Mathematics and 92 in Extension 2 Mathematics. Seth Pal goes above and beyond to ensure that his students achieve the results they are capable of.
Seth has taught me like no other. Tuition with him is more than just learning: it’s a whole experience. He has implemented more effective teaching methods than provided in school, allowing me to quickly absorb information. Not only does he provide meticulous individual support to ensure every student understands, but also boosted my confidence in maths which motivated me to achieve higher. Seth finds potential in every pupil and provides them with opportunities like nobody else can.
