Zohra M
Enthusiastic Science Tutor
Hi! I am Zohra and I am currently studying Biochemistry at University. To be completely honest Biology was my least favourite Science out of the three - funnily enough it forms the majority of my degree. It was very challenging in the beginning but I can assure you that it does get easier, only by having patience and consistently putting in hard work!I studied for my A Levels during the pandemic when we had online lessons which was a challenge to get used to but from this experience. I can empathise with the feeling of online studying and working on your own as I have been in your shoes before!...

How can an online Science tutor help my child achieve top grades for selective schools in South East London?
Many parents in South East London are looking for that extra support for competitive entry to grammar schools like St. Olave's or selective sixth forms. Our online Science tutors can create a bespoke learning plan, focusing on challenging topics, exam techniques, and building a deeper understanding that goes beyond the curriculum, helping your child aim for those crucial grade 7, 8, or 9s needed for their future aspirations.
Can a Science tutor help my child prepare for competitive university courses like Medicine or Engineering at London universities?
Absolutely. Achieving top Science grades is often the first step towards highly competitive degrees like Medicine or Engineering at universities such as King's or Imperial.

After each session, your tutor will provide feedback on what was covered, your child's progress, and what they'll focus on next. You can also communicate directly with your tutor through the platform to discuss any concerns or track specific learning objectives, ensuring you're always in the loop about your child's Science journey.
