PHYSICS OLYMPIAD
William Yang, Caltech Physicist
Proficiency education is introducing tuition for international physics olympiad.
The course will only run online during the school holidays. Tutors have plentiful experience for international science olympiad.
Course Details
Competitions in Junior Science, Physics, Biology, Earth and Environmental Science, and Chemistry are primarily organised by schools (mostly selective high schools and some private schools). If your school doesn't organise them, you'll have to find a testing centre yourself.
​
Registration typically begins in early May, and the exams are held at the end of July or early August. (Junior Science exams have been moved to June this year.)
According to data from previous years, over 1000 students are participating in such competitions in Australia each year, with some subjects having over 1500 participants (such as Physics and Chemistry).
Enrollment
William Yang's Physics Olympiad course runs every school holidays in January, April, July and October. Contact us via phone or online to enroll into the course.
