Very understanding and helpful in lessons, and provides his own material based on my curriculum for Triple Science GCSE. Goes through material while also providing questions on the topic you learn during lessons.
He helped me go from a grade 4 in year 9 before I had him to a Grade 9 in year 10-11!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can an online Biology tutor help with all the GCSE content?
GCSE Biology covers a lot, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. A great tutor breaks big topics, like cell division or genetics, into clear, manageable steps. They’ll focus on helping your child understand the science, not just memorise it, and show how different topics connect. This makes the subject far more approachable and helps everything start to click into place.
My child struggles with the maths in Biology. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many students are surprised by how much maths appears in Biology, from reading population graphs to calculating percentages in genetics. A tutor can walk your child through these maths skills step by step, showing how they’re used in real Biology questions. With practice, they’ll not only improve their maths but also feel more confident when those questions appear in exams.
What are ‘required practicals’, and how can tutoring help?
Required practicals are the core experiments taught in class - like investigating osmosis or enzyme activity. They’re an important part of the GCSE course and often appear in exam questions. A tutor can explain what each practical is testing, the key scientific ideas behind it, and how to write strong exam answers, even if your child missed a lesson or didn’t fully understand it at school.
Is online Biology tutoring good preparation for A-Level Biology?
Definitely! GCSE Biology tutoring helps students build the strong foundation they’ll need for A-Level success. Tutors focus on deepening understanding, improving analysis skills, and building the confidence to take on more complex material later. Whether your child studies Combined or Triple Science, they’ll feel much more prepared for the jump to A-Level.
When’s the best time to start GCSE Biology tutoring?
The earlier, the better! Starting in Year 10 gives plenty of time to strengthen understanding and avoid last-minute stress. But it’s never too late to begin. Even close to exam time, a tutor can help your child catch up, revise efficiently, and walk into exams feeling more confident and prepared.
How can a tutor help with exam technique?
Tutors are experts at helping students master exam skills. They’ll show your child how to tackle every type of question - from short recall to data analysis and long written answers. Lessons often include timed practice and feedback to improve time management, clarity, and confidence. By exam day, your child will know exactly how to show what they’ve learned and achieve their best results.
