How do our science teachers work?
At Tutoring Heroes, we believe that every student can thrive in science with the right guidance and support. Whether your child is studying Biology, Chemistry, or Physics at GCSE, or advanced science topics at A-Level, our expert tutors are here to help them excel.
We work closely with each student to deliver science lessons that are aligned with their school curriculum and tailored to their individual needs, ensuring real academic progress and a boost in confidence.
Aligned with the school science curriculum
Every Basingstoke science tutor we assign is a specialist in UK mainstream academia, so every lesson we teach is designed to complement what your child is learning in class according to the science curriculum. We don’t just help students catch up — we help them get ahead; if they need to be challenged, we’ll move them on to advanced science topics. Whether it’s understanding atomic structure in Chemistry, mastering Newton’s Laws in Physics, or exploring cell biology, our lessons reinforce classroom content while deepening understanding.
We cover all major exam boards and curriculum structures, so your child gets targeted support suited to their academic goals. Our aim is to make sure every session directly contributes to better performance in school and exams, and includes online resources for exam preparation, where relevant.
Lessons designed around individual challenges
No two students are the same – and that’s exactly how we manage our approach to teaching. Our first step is always to identify where each student is struggling and why. Are they losing marks on exam technique? Do they find it hard to grasp complex concepts in Maths & Physics, or remember biology and chemistry processes under pressure?
Once we know where the gaps are, we tailor each lesson to address those specific challenges. That could mean breaking down tricky maths-based physics equations, reviewing difficult practicals, or guiding students through step-by-step problem-solving strategies using practice papers or exam-style questions.
Our one-to-one focus means your child gets the support they actually need, rather than a generic science lesson.
Making science fun, engaging, and memorable
We know that the most effective learning occurs when students are enjoying themselves — and science tutoring can be a great way to achieve that. That’s why each session is designed by someone with teaching experience to be dynamic, interactive, and to use a fun approach. This might include:
- Quickfire quiz rounds to reinforce Chemistry, Biology and Physics knowledge in an engaging way
- Interactive diagrams using our learning platform students can annotate during online sessions
- Roleplay-style explanations, like turning the student into a red blood cell taking a journey through the body
- Game-based learning tools to help with memorising key facts or formulas in relation to Physics, Chemistry and Biology
By creating a positive learning environment, our online Basingstoke tutors help students develop a genuine passion for science. And when students are interested, they’re far more likely to study independently – and achieve more as a result.
An approach to teaching that builds confidence
Success in science isn’t just about knowing the right facts – it’s also about having the confidence to use them in the classroom and in exams. Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they doubt themselves. That’s why confidence-building is at the heart of what we do.
We encourage students to ask questions without fear of judgment, celebrate their progress, and help them recognise their own strengths. By regularly reviewing their achievements and showing how far they’ve come, we make sure they feel ready to tackle whatever science throws at them – whether it’s an exam question, a tricky homework assignment, or a classroom discussion.
With Tutoring Heroes, your child gets more than just science lessons. They gain skills, strategies, and self-belief that last a lifetime.

Are science tutors worth the money?
Absolutely! Science tutors are well worth the investment. Whether your child is struggling to keep up in school or aiming to excel, a tutor provides personalized support that’s hard to match in a classroom setting. Tutors can break down complex concepts, fill in learning gaps, and boost confidence in subjects like biology, chemistry, and physics.
More than just improving grades, a good science tutor helps students build critical thinking and problem-solving skills that benefit them far beyond school. The right tutor can turn frustration into curiosity and stress into motivation.
In addition, consistent tutoring often leads to better exam performance and stronger long-term academic outcomes. When you consider the impact on both understanding and confidence, hiring a science tutor isn’t just helpful—it’s a smart investment in your child’s future.
Science exam technique for GCSE exams & A-level
Success in science exams isn’t just about understanding the content—it’s also about mastering exam technique. Both GCSE and A-Level science papers demand specific skills beyond just recalling facts. Here’s what students should focus on, and how a tutor can help sharpen those techniques for top marks.
GCSE science exam technique
At GCSE level, students must be confident in applying knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios. Questions often test how well students can interpret data, use scientific language accurately, and explain concepts clearly. Time management is key, as is understanding the command words like “describe,” “explain,” and “evaluate.”
Working through practice papers is essential, as it helps students get used to question formats and identify common mistakes. A science tutor can guide students through these papers, highlight examiner expectations, and provide tailored feedback to boost performance. Tutors can also help build strong revision habits and reinforce weaker topic areas through focused sessions.
Guided science preparation in the run up to GCSE exams can lead to a significant improvement in exam performance over a student’s predicted grade, whether that student is taking combined science, or triple science, with separate physics, chemistry and biology.
Here’s what the parents of some of our GCSE science students have said:
A-Level science exam technique
A-Level science exams go deeper, assessing not just knowledge but a student’s ability to analyze complex data, synthesize information across topics, and construct logical, structured answers—especially for longer response questions. Precision is everything at this level, and examiners are strict on how answers are phrased – so access to proper resources for A-level exam preparation is key.
Tutors play a crucial role in helping students refine their exam technique, using a variety of online resources. From developing model answers and improving essay structure (particularly in biology) to navigating tricky calculations in physics or chemistry, one-on-one support can make a real difference. Tutors also help students stay calm under pressure and build the confidence needed to tackle challenging papers.
When should you join Tutoring Heroes?
Ideally, tuition should begin at least 3 to 6 months before GCSE exams. This allows enough time to review key topics, practice exam papers thoroughly, and build effective revision strategies. However, even a shorter period of focused tutoring close to exam season can boost performance, especially when it targets weaker areas or exam technique specifically.
Whether it’s brushing up on core concepts, perfecting answers, or managing exam stress, private tuition provides structure, support, and personalised feedback—giving students the best chance of achieving their goals in science.
What type of secondary school science tuition classes do we offer?
The types of tutoring we offer really depends on the needs of the student in question. If a student is taking triple science at GCSE and wants to maximise their grades in chemistry, biology and physics, we might recommend the following two sessions of science preparation a week, with the following focus:
Session 1: Physics (if for instance, physics was the student’s weakest subject).
Session 2: Split between Biology & Chemistry (if for instance these were the two subjects which required the least work)
