Science Tuition: Biology, Chemistry and Physics

Science rewards precision. We teach the underlying ideas properly, then train students to express them in the language examiners credit.

The three sciences

Science

Biology

Cells, genetics, physiology and ecology

DNA → cells → systems
Science

Chemistry

Bonding, reactions, energetics and calculations

particles → bonds → change
Science

Physics

Forces, energy, electricity, waves and fields

cause → model → measure

Practical and data skills

A large share of marks now comes from working scientifically: required practicals, variables, accuracy and precision, graph drawing and evaluating method. We teach these explicitly rather than hoping they are picked up along the way.

Students also practise interpreting unfamiliar data, because examiners increasingly test whether knowledge can be applied to a context that has never been seen before.

  1. 01

    Observe

    Read apparatus, methods, tables and graphs accurately.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Consider variables, uncertainty, precision and limitations.

  3. 03

    Explain

    Connect evidence to scientific ideas using exact language.
