- Required Practicals
- 6-Mark Extended Answers
Levels Covered
Science Tuition from KS3 Through to A-Level
Lessons match your child's year group, exam board and chosen Science route — Combined Science or Triple Science at GCSE, and any of the three separate Sciences at A-Level.
GCSE Combined Science
Years 10 & 11 — 'Trilogy' / 'Synergy'
Two GCSEs covering all three sciences. Past-paper drills, mark-scheme strategy and full coverage of the 21 required practicals.
GCSE Triple Science
Three separate GCSEs
Separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSEs — deeper content, more practicals, stronger preparation for A-Level Sciences.
A-Level Sciences
Years 12 & 13
A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics — including the maths skills demanded by each spec, required practicals, and synoptic paper technique.
Exam Boards Covered
AQA, Edexcel & OCR — Mapped to the Spec
Every lesson follows your child's exact specification — including the spec-specific required practicals and command words.
AQA Trilogy & Synergy
AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464) and Synergy (8465); GCSE Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462), Physics (8463).
Edexcel (Pearson)
Edexcel GCSE Combined Science (1SC0) and separate sciences — Biology (1BI0), Chemistry (1CH0), Physics (1PH0).
OCR Gateway & 21st Century
OCR Gateway Combined Science A (J250), Twenty First Century Combined Science B (J260) and the OCR separate science suites.

Progress & feedback
Regular parent updates and topic test scores — clear evidence of what's improving and what's next.
Why a Specialist Science Tutor
Science punishes vague knowledge — it rewards precision
The top GCSE and A-Level grades go to students who can apply what they know to unfamiliar contexts — not just memorise. Required practicals, 6-mark extended answers, equations and ionic charges all need targeted practice that classroom time rarely allows.
One-to-one tutoring builds that precision. We work topic-by-topic from the spec, drill the language examiners want to hear, and build the confidence to tackle the longer-form questions where most marks are lost.
Required practicals
Every spec-required practical drilled — method, variables, error analysis, exam-style questions.
6-mark extended answers
Plan it, structure it, write it. The exam-board's preferred phrasing for top marks.
Equations & formulas
All equations memorised, rearranged and applied with confidence under exam pressure.
Cross-topic synthesis
Top grades require linking topics — we practise the synoptic questions schools often skip.
Maths in Science
Standard form, percentages, rates of reaction, kinetic energy — Science maths fully covered.
Command words
Describe vs explain vs evaluate vs compare — match the exam command word and bank the marks.

Science Tuition Oxford — FAQs
Which science subjects do you tutor in Oxford?+
I tutor Biology, Chemistry and Physics — both as Combined Science and as separate Triple Science GCSEs, plus A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics. KS3 Science (Years 7–9) is also covered.
Do you teach Combined Science and Triple Science?+
Yes — both. Combined Science (Trilogy/Synergy) is two GCSEs covering all three subjects; Triple Science is three separate GCSEs with deeper content. Lessons map exactly to whichever route your child's school offers.
Which exam boards do you cover for GCSE and A-Level Science?+
All major UK boards — AQA (Trilogy and Synergy), Edexcel, OCR Gateway A and OCR Twenty First Century B — for both Combined Science and the separate GCSEs. A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics also covered across all major boards.
Do you tutor A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics?+
Yes — A-Level support across all three sciences, including the maths components, required practicals, and the synoptic / application-style questions that distinguish A and A* answers.
Can you help with the required practicals at GCSE?+
Yes — every required practical is covered. We work through method, variables, sources of error and the practical-based questions that appear on Paper 1 and Paper 2 of every exam board.
What's the difference between Combined and Triple Science at GCSE?+
Combined Science gives two GCSE grades from one larger qualification covering all three sciences. Triple Science gives three separate GCSE grades — one each for Biology, Chemistry and Physics — with about 30% more content and more practical work.
Do you tutor KS3 Science (Years 7–9)?+
Yes — KS3 is the best place to lay strong foundations. Topics like cells, particles, forces, energy and the periodic table get the careful, slow teaching they need before GCSE pace kicks in.
Which areas do you cover for Science tuition?+
Home tuition across Oxford and surrounding villages including Summertown, Jericho, Headington, Cowley, Kidlington, Bicester, Didcot, Witney and Abingdon.
