Online biology tutoring
Biology looks like a memory subject, but the top grades go to students who can apply what they know to an unfamiliar example and write it up in the right order. Our biology specialists teach the content, then drill exactly that.

Biology at every level we teach
At GCSE, AQA Biology (8461) is assessed by two papers of 1 hour 45 minutes, each worth 100 marks and half of the grade. Students carry out ten required practicals, which the written papers ask about.
A-Level, IB and AP Biology go further into biochemistry, genetics and physiology, with longer data-analysis and essay questions. University biology adds statistics and experimental design, which tutors also support.
How tutors raise biology grades
Tutors turn topics into short, repeatable answer structures, then test them on unfamiliar exam contexts.
- โ Key terms used precisely (diffusion, osmosis, active transport)
- โ Six-mark answers planned as a sequence of steps
- โ Graphs, tables and calculations from practical work
- โ Spaced recall so content sticks until the exam

Common questions
Which biology courses do you teach?๏ผ
GCSE and IGCSE, A-Level, IB, AP Biology, Australian and New Zealand senior biology, and first-year university biology.
How many required practicals are in GCSE Biology?๏ผ
Ten in AQA GCSE Biology, and questions on them appear in both written papers.
How do I help my child remember so much content?๏ผ
Short, regular recall beats long re-reading. Tutors build quick recall quizzes into each class and set a few minutes of spaced practice between classes.
Do you help with A-Level and IB long answers?๏ผ
