Science is more than facts to memorise — it's a way of asking questions and finding rigorous answers. Our 1:1 science sessions build the investigative mindset alongside the conceptual knowledge students need for school success and beyond. From the laws of motion to DNA replication, every topic is explored through real experiments, worked examples, and guided discovery rather than passive note-taking.
Inquiry-Based Learning
Students form hypotheses, design investigations, and analyse results — developing the scientific method as a habit of mind, not just a checklist.
All Three Sciences
Physics, chemistry, and biology covered in one curriculum with a tutor who understands how they interconnect — energy in chemistry connects to thermodynamics in physics.
Maths in Science
We explicitly bridge the maths skills needed for science — unit conversions, graphing data, interpreting equations — so students never hit a wall mid-topic.
Curriculum by grade band
Every band builds on the last. Your tutor will place your child at exactly the right level.
- The scientific method — observation, hypothesis, experiment, conclusion
- States of matter — solids, liquids, gases and phase changes
- Plants — photosynthesis, life cycles, adaptation
- Animals — habitats, food chains, predator-prey relationships
- Forces — pushes, pulls, gravity, friction
- Light and sound — properties and basic behaviour
- Earth and weather — water cycle, seasons, natural disasters
- Cells — structure of plant and animal cells, microscopy
- Body systems — circulatory, digestive, respiratory, skeletal
- Chemistry basics — elements, compounds, mixtures, physical vs chemical change
- The periodic table — groups, periods, metals and non-metals
- Energy — forms of energy, energy transfer, conservation
- Electricity — circuits, current, voltage, resistance
- Earth science — rock cycle, plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes
- Biology: cells, genetics, inheritance, evolution, ecosystems
- Chemistry: atomic structure, bonding, reactions, acids and bases

What your child will achieve
- Apply the scientific method to design and evaluate investigations independently
- Explain biological, chemical, and physical concepts in clear, precise language
- Interpret graphs, data tables, and experimental results with confidence
- Connect scientific concepts across disciplines (e.g. chemistry in biology)
- Write structured extended-answer responses that score full marks
- Meet grade-level benchmarks across biology, chemistry, and physics
- Develop a lasting curiosity about how the natural and physical world works
Frequently asked questions
All three — biology, chemistry, and physics — within one curriculum. Your tutor is a science generalist for Grades 3–8. For GCSE and above, you can request a specialist in your child's weakest science, or continue with a generalist tutor if all three need support.
Yes. Your tutor reviews your child's current school topic at the start of each term and balances school-specific support with longer-term curriculum building. Upcoming tests are always prioritised.
No physical lab equipment is required. Tutors use high-quality virtual simulations (PhET, Labster) and video demonstrations for practical content. For older students preparing GCSE required practicals, we discuss technique and method in detail without needing equipment at home.
Absolutely. This is one of the most common blockers — students understand the science conceptually but freeze when equations appear. Our tutors explicitly teach the maths within its scientific context: rearranging equations, unit conversions, and graphing data are woven into every session where they appear.
We support all major boards: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Cambridge IGCSE, and IB Diploma Programme (SL and HL). Your tutor will use the exact specification, past papers, and mark schemes from your child's board.
The jump from combined to triple science introduces significantly more content and depth, particularly in chemistry and physics. Our Core Science and GCSE bands explicitly bridge this gap — your tutor will identify which additional topics apply to the separate science specification and address them systematically.
