Paul H
£87.10 to £93.80 ph

Mr Paul H
Biology Tutor

I have tutored Maths, Chemistry and Biology to GCSE, and Physics to A-level for many years. Over the last year I have also started tutoring A-level Chemistry and A-level Maths. Before this I taught as a qualified science teacher for 10 years. I started teaching online some time before the pandemic and use a variety of software which allows for effective collaboration, lesson recording. Students get clear organised notes, simulations, videos which can be accessed at any time. I also run seminars and training to other tutors on how to teach online effectively. Before my career as a science teacher, I spent 5 years travelling around Asia teaching which is where I learnt my love of teaching to others. I then came back to the UK to work in schools as a teaching support assistant for a year and a half before training as a science teacher specialising in Physics.

Biology Tutor

I am a Qualified (Ofsted outstanding) Science and Maths Teacher, currently teaching at an Academy in Runcorn. I teach Maths up to A-level across all the major Exam Boards (Edexcel and AQA), and I am an official examiner for Edexcel. I have supervised a number of undergraduate degree dissertations and masters (MSc) projects for Science and Mathematics related subjects and have tutored privately to degree level. I chose to work at secondary key stage because I feel that this is generally the point in people's lives when a lot of wider and holistic learning occurs - and hence the age group that I can make the most difference in. I have experience in teaching and tutoring to a high standard and currently, I am the Deputy Head of Maths at my school. Upon an assessment lesson, I will give you feedback and targets we can work on, with milestones so you are sure your child is making progress.

Mrs Shaheen K
Biology Tutor

My name is Shaheen. I have been working as a science teacher (Head of chemistry) for six years. I have been a tutor for nine years. I have been an examiner for OCR and Edexcel for three years, so I really understand the nuances of how to get learners to develop exam techniques that will enhance their progress. I am also currently in role as an OCR monitor, which involves visiting schools to assess whether they are meeting the standards of the exam board for Practical Endorsements. This means I have a thorough understanding of the practical elements of the chemistry A-level course and how these practicals are assessed in the written papers. My results speak for themselves - I have many examples of learners who have achieved above the predicted grades generated by their schools. This proves that I can truly stretch and challenge learners, so that they can achieve their maximum potential.

What is Biology?

Biology is the science of life and living organisms, derived from the Greek words "bios" meaning "life" and "logos" meaning "study". Biologists study living things, including their physical structures, chemical processes, physiological mechanisms, molecular interactions, life-cycle, adaptions and environment.

Biology Tuition at GCSE and IGCSE

At GCSE level, Biology is either studied as separate subject or makes up a third of Combined Science. As a separate subject, Biology can be studied as Single Science and receive a full GCSE grade. In Combined Science, the extension topics in Physics, Chemistry and Biology are not taken and the exams in all three subjects lead to two GCSE grades, so it is sometimes referred to as Dual Award Science. If a student intends to study Biology at A level then it is best, though not essential, that they take Biology as a Single Science. Assessment is through written exam papers, typically 2 x two hour papers or 3 x 90 minute papers. There is no separate practical assessment or coursework, but questions will be set based on the core practical activities the students will have carried out for themselves.

GCSE Biology Past Papers

Biology Tuition at A-Level

For entry into A-Level Biology, many schools would want to see a grade 7 or higher at GCSE, otherwise a student may struggle to do well at A-Level. At A-Level the concepts and ideas studied for GCSE are built upon and taken further, along with some applications of Biology which may include ... A-Level Biology also involves a large amount of practical work. Assessment is typically three written papers, each around two hours long. A-Level Biology can give access to a wide range of University Courses and consequently related careers, such as Physics, Engineering, Astrophysics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Sports Science and Pharmacy amongst others.

A-Level Biology Past Papers

Tuition with a qualified Biology teacher at your home costs from £46.00 ph. Online tuition with a qualified Biology teacher costs from £40.00 ph. Create your own small tuition group and Biology tuition costs from £17.50 ph.

Because we only ever work with qualified and experienced Biology teachers, you will always get a highly experienced teacher who is safe, reliable and up to speed with the current curriculum and exam requirements. There is no excellent learning without excellent teaching, and our Biology teachers are expected to teach in a way that inspires and motivates. We have over 20,000 talented teachers providing tuition, chosen for their broad range of experience, professionalism, academic specialisms, passion, and dedication to their students. We only ever offer qualified teachers as tutors, as we believe professional teachers provide the highest quality of tuition.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a Biology tutor coming to your home to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection. Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.

Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the Biology tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the Biology tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the Biology tutor is required to travel to your home. Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your Biology tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition. Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.

Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your Biology tutor will only be working with your child. Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of Biology tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication. Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style. Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.

The choice between home, online, or small group Biology tuition depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
