Why Strong GCSE Science Grades Are Key for Your Child's Ambitions
For many of the most sought-after A-Level courses, a strong set of GCSE Science grades isn't just an advantage—it's a requirement. Achieving a grade 7, 8, or 9 in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics is often the key that unlocks the door to studying these subjects further. These grades show universities and future employers that your child has a solid grasp of core scientific principles, from understanding chemical reactions to applying the laws of physics. It’s the foundation for their future success.

Rai S
Incredible! It’s fair to say that science was never one of my sons favourite subjects. My son has only had a few lessons with Rai so far but we are making it regular to support his GCSE exams.
Rai’s sessions are full of energy and my son has so much more confidence and loves the way Rai explains things. He has already learnt so much!
I would absolutely recommend!

Alan H
I wanted to share how much we appreciate the extra GCSE Science lessons Alan has been providing. My son has mentioned that the sessions are giving him a really solid understanding of the sciences, especially chemistry, which is helping him a lot with his revision. The one-on-one format is making a big difference—he finds it much easier to concentrate and is learning far more effectively. He’s even remembering things better, which shows how impactful Alan's teaching has been. Thank you for your dedication and support; it’s clearly making a positive difference.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Crofton and are aiming for a top sixth form like St. Olave's. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in helping students secure the top grades (7-9) needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific curriculum, advanced topics, and exam techniques required to help your child stand out and meet the entry requirements.
My child is feeling the pressure of GCSE Science in the Crofton area. How can a tutor help with the stress?
We understand the local pressure. A tutor provides a calm, supportive space away from the classroom rush. By breaking down complex topics into manageable steps and celebrating small successes, they help build your child's confidence, which in turn reduces their anxiety and makes learning feel positive again.
How do I choose the right Science tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject specialism (like Biology or Chemistry), experience level, and availability. You can also watch their introductory videos and read reviews from other parents to get a real sense of their teaching style before you book.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Science tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including video chat, a shared whiteboard for drawing diagrams or working through problems, and the ability to upload documents like past papers. It's simple, secure, and effective.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child struggles with a specific area like Physics equations. Can a tutor just focus on that?
Of course. That's the great advantage of one-to-one tutoring. The lessons are completely tailored to your child. The tutor can spend the entire session focusing on a specific area of difficulty until your child feels confident and understands it fully.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
While every child learns at their own pace, our goal is to help them build both confidence and knowledge. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and our data shows we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and what your child needs. Some families prefer a regular weekly session to stay on top of schoolwork, while others book lessons to prepare for a specific test or exam. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than core academic ones?
Yes, we do! While we have experts in all school subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python.
Can tutoring help my child get into a competitive university course like medicine?
Yes, it can be a huge help. Securing top A-Level grades is essential for courses like medicine or engineering. Our tutors can provide the foundational support at GCSE and A-Level to help your child achieve the grades they need, and many can also offer guidance on university applications and interviews.
