A strong result at GCSE or A-Level can lead to some brilliant academic and career opportunities. Food Technology brings together biology, chemistry, and business, giving students a mix of knowledge that is genuinely useful in the real world. The subject naturally teaches organisation, critical thinking, and analytical skills through the Non-Exam Assessment structure, which universities and employers value highly.
Whether your child is thinking about food science, nutrition, dietetics, hospitality, or product development, this subject builds a solid foundation that can open doors later on.

* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Rachel B
Enthusiastic tutor of Food, Nutrition and Food Technology.
I have been teaching Food and Nutrition to GCSE standard in secondary schools for over 20 years. This has involved me planning, preparing and delivering both theory and practical lessons for students, always endeavouring to make the subject as fun and engaging as possible. Very often students opt for this subject at GCSE believing it is ' just cooking' but there is so much more to it than that! Particularly in recent times, the amount of food science content in the Food curriculum has really increased, and this can be quite daunting for students to get to grips with. I really enjoy helping them...

Cerise S
We have had tutors in the past and we are very fortunate to have found Cerise. She tutors my son in English Literature and Food Science GCSEs. He had very little confidence in his ability to do well in both subjects & struggled in previous exams to answers questions, resulting in poor grades. After a few sessions with Cerise, he's confidence has grown. He is being taught actual subject content & now has a clear understanding of how to apply techniques to structure essays and answer exam questions confidently. He's also been getting great feedback from school in both subjects! Regardless of what happens with exams this year, I know he's on course to do very well, thanks to lessons with Cerise. She is a natural teacher and goes the extra mile. As a parent, I get feedback on lessons and any area of support that's needed, is addressed. We are both very grateful for her hard work; she has truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Ahlam W
I had a wonderful lesson with Ahlam, and I can say that she is a passionate and dedicated person; every minute spent in this lesson was valuable and worthwhile. Therefore, I strongly recommend Ahlam, especially with ESL students.
No doubts that I will have another lesson with her soon.

Teresa is dedicated, enthusiastic and hardworking in helping me succeed in biology and getting me the grade I need to pursue my goals. Nicole (student)
Teresa also provides Nicole with extra work to complete after her lesson which I'm sure helps to reinforce her learning. We are so happy with how the lessons have started that we have already booked in a lot more. Gary (dad)

What if my child doesn't connect with their Food Technology tutor?
We want every lesson to be a perfect fit, which is why we offer our First Lesson Guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with the first session for any reason, let us know and we will cover the cost, no questions asked.
Can a tutor help with other subjects too?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in multiple subjects. A Food Technology tutor might also teach Biology or Chemistry, providing cohesive support across related subjects. You can view every tutor's full subject list on their profile.
How can an online tutor help with the practical coursework (NEA)?
While the cooking is done at school, a tutor provides crucial support for the extensive planning, research, and written evaluation stages of the Non-Exam Assessment (NEA). They can help your child structure their portfolio, analyse their results, and refine their written work to meet the top marking criteria.
My child struggles with the science side of Food Technology. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common reason to seek a tutor. Our specialists are brilliant at demystifying the scientific concepts, from the principles of microbiology to the chemical reactions in cooking, helping your child build the confidence and knowledge to succeed in their written exams.
How do I know the tutors are qualified?
We have a rigorous vetting process and accept only 1 in every 8 applicants. Every tutor is DBS checked, and we verify their academic credentials and teaching experience to ensure your child is learning from a true expert.
Is online tutoring effective for a practical subject like Food Technology?
It's extremely effective for the theoretical and coursework elements, which often make up a significant portion of the final grade. Tutors use interactive whiteboards and shared resources to work on everything from nutritional calculations to exam technique, providing targeted support where it's needed most.

Our Food Technology tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £22 per hour. Prices are based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile with no hidden costs.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most students benefit from one session per week, but you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's budget. This can be increased during critical periods like coursework deadlines or exam revision.
Can a tutor help with exam technique for the written paper?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in preparing students for their written exams. They can work through past papers, teach effective revision strategies, and show your child how to structure their answers to earn maximum marks.
What equipment do we need for an online lesson?
