Service Description

It is a 1-to-3 course. GCSE/IGCSE Y11 Intensive Biology Phase 1 Each lesson is 2 hours long In every lesson we will review content, focussing on using good Biological vocabulary, debunking common student errors and using practice questions from past papers. Good exam techniques will be thoroughly embedded throughout the course. Students often lose time by not understanding how to start an answer effectively. I will work on this during every lesson as an intrinsic activity. I have aimed to cover a great deal here. It is possible that some content may shift into phase 2 depending on how rapidly the students progress.
