Booking now: AQA Y13 A level Biology Group Class - from Sept 2026 to June 2027
Weekly Group classes - for AQA Y13 A level BIology
Raise your exam grade with question focused masterclasses from a highly experienced A level Biology teacher.
Every week we go through a different topic from the specification and look at how to apply the content to exam questions. I show how to understand commonly occurring questions and how to answer them.
“Outstanding A-level Biology tutoring! Patient, engaging, and highly personalised—even in group classes, it feels one-to-one. Recorded sessions, all questions answered, and every student involved. Our daughter jumped a grade and achieved an A and a place to study Medicine at University” - Google reviews 2025
During the lesson students use an interactive whiteboard to write answers to exam questions which (only) I can see and comment on. Students can ask questions at any time but are not required to speak on camera to the group.
The classes run in focus mode on zoom - so I can see every student, but they are not visible to the rest of the class.
Students can stream a recording of every lesson for revision and note taking.
I teach using evidence-based educational theory. With decades of A level Biology class and one-to-one teaching experience, I am very aware of the misconceptions and misunderstandings that cause students to unnecessarily struggle, and of the mistakes that can lead to dropped marks in exams.
By correcting these issues, students not only do better in exams but also learn to enjoy studying Biology.
The typical class size is 6-12 students. No payment is taken in advance. The classes are £45 per lesson. The card you use to reserve your place is charged after the lesson.
