BTEC Health and social care Tutoring
BTEC Food Technology requires strong practical understanding, clear written evaluation, and the ability to apply theory to coursework and controlled assessments. Success depends on meeting assessment criteria precisely and producing well-structured evidence. Our specialist tutors support students with coursework planning, theory understanding, and assessment preparation to help them achieve top grades.

Your questions answered
Common questions
Is this the same as GCSE Food Tech?
It’s much more science- and evidence-driven (nutrition, safety systems, research, experiments).
Do you help with coursework and controlled assessments?
Yes—planning, structure, wording, analysis depth, and meeting criteria (without writing it for you).
Can you help if my centre does Unit 3 vs Unit 4?
Yes—both are fully supported.
How do you improve grades quickly?
By fixing structure + evidence quality (justification, evaluation, technical accuracy).
How fast can grades improve?
Often quickly once structure, evaluation depth, and criteria-mapping are fixed.
