Our standard
Every tutor clears a high bar.
UK-qualified teachers
Degree-level subject specialists, many PGCE-trained, who teach to the UK exam standard.
Examiner insight
Tutors who know the mark schemes and coach the exact phrasing that earns every mark.
Vetted & background-checked
Tutors complete interviews, teaching demonstrations and the academy's structured approval process before student assignments.
Matched to your board
You are paired with a specialist in your exact board and tier — never a generalist.
Lesson flow
From confusion to calm, one lesson at a time.
Our tutors cover all three sciences — identifying which discipline needs the most attention and allocating sessions accordingly.
Step 1
Pinpoint the gaps
We start with recent marks, confidence blockers, and the exact exam board so sessions feel personal from lesson one.
Step 2
Teach the mark scheme
Tutors connect concepts to examiner language, worked examples, and the habits that turn knowledge into marks.
Step 3
Track the lift
Parents see what changed after each session: topics covered, next steps, and the grade trajectory we are building toward.
What we cover
A syllabus map students can actually follow.
Biology — Cells & Life Processes
Cell structure, diffusion, osmosis, mitosis, photosynthesis, respiration, and the major organ systems. A solid foundation for the biology papers.
Biology — Genetics & Ecology
DNA structure, inheritance (Mendelian and beyond), evolution, natural selection, ecosystems, and human impacts on biodiversity.
Chemistry — Atomic Structure & Bonding
The periodic table, ionic and covalent bonding, structure and properties of substances, and quantitative chemistry (the mole).
Chemistry — Reactions & Analysis
Rates of reaction, energy changes, equilibrium, organic chemistry, chemical analysis, and the chemistry of the atmosphere.
Physics — Forces & Energy
Forces and motion, energy stores and transfers, electricity, waves, and magnetism — the core physics content on all combined science papers.
Physics — Atomic Structure & Space
Radioactive decay, nuclear fission and fusion, atomic models, and (AQA only) space physics. Often the most predictable section for exam questions.
Required Practicals
All exam boards test required practicals in the written papers. We cover planning, data analysis, and evaluation for the most common practicals across all three sciences.

Common blockers
Where students struggle, and how we fix it.
1Juggling three sciences at once+
We start with a diagnostic to identify which of the three sciences is weakest, then allocate sessions accordingly. Students who struggle with Chemistry calculations and biology extended answers get targeted help in both — without neglecting physics.
2Required practical questions+
These appear in every paper but many students revise them separately from the topic content. We cover practical methodology, data analysis, and common evaluation questions integrated with the relevant topic — exactly how they appear on exam papers.
3Six-mark extended response questions+
Combined Science papers include 6-mark 'explain' and 'evaluate' questions. We teach a structured approach using correct scientific terminology, a logical sequence, and the number of distinct points needed to secure full marks.
Proof that feels close to home.

7-7I had three sciences to juggle and was behind in all of them. The tutor prioritised my weakest areas and gave me a revision plan. I ended up with a 7-7.

Common Questions.
Combined Science (Double Award) produces two GCSE grades and covers the core content of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Triple/Separate Science produces three separate GCSEs (one per science) with additional content in each. We cover both.
Combined Science produces a double grade — for example 6-6, 7-8, or 5-6. The two grades reflect your average performance across the six papers. We help students maximise their marks in their strongest science to pull up the combined grade.
Yes — our Combined Science tutors are trained across all three disciplines. Alternatively, if one science is particularly weak, we can arrange a specialist subject tutor for that science alongside a generalist for the others.
Yes — required practical questions appear in the written papers for all exam boards. Students cannot predict which practicals will appear, so it is important to cover the methodology, data analysis, and evaluation for all practicals on the specification.
