Common questions
Who is this A Level Biology tutoring suitable for?
Our tutoring is suitable for A Level Biology students of all abilities, including those aiming for top grades, those needing support with difficult topics, or students who want to improve exam technique and confidence.
Which exam boards do you cover?
We support all major exam boards, including AQA, OCR, and Edexcel. Lessons are tailored to the specific specification and assessment style of each board.
Do you help with exam technique as well as content?
Yes. A major focus of our tutoring is exam technique. We teach students how to interpret questions, structure answers, use correct scientific terminology, and maximise marks using examiner expectations and mark schemes.
Can you help if I am falling behind?
Absolutely. Tutors identify gaps in understanding, revisit key concepts clearly, and create a structured plan to help students catch up efficiently without feeling overwhelmed.
Do you support required practicals and data analysis?
Yes. We provide guidance on required practical experiments, data analysis, graph interpretation, and evaluation questions, helping students write high-scoring practical answers in exams.
How are lessons structured?
Lessons are one-to-one and tailored to individual needs. Each session typically includes content explanation, exam-style practice, and detailed feedback to reinforce understanding and progress.
How often should I have lessons?
Most students benefit from weekly sessions, though lesson frequency can be increased before exams or reduced once confidence and consistency improve.
