A-Level Biology Tutoring

The growing divide: Biology’s challenges at A-Level

The gap between GCSE/MYP and A-Level Biology is significant and should not be understated. Many candidates struggle with the abstract concepts, such as cell division and practical skill-sets required for success in A-Level Biology. Our A-Level Biology online or in-person tuition programme is tailored to address your child’s weaknesses so that they can improve their overall conceptual knowledge and boost their exam performance.

The difficult exam format, which includes challenging graphical analysis as well as long-form answers that need deep understanding of biological process and key terminology, can confound even the academically-minded students. Pattern recognition, for example in practical datasets, can also challenge the neurodiverse. It is therefore essential that candidates receive customized A-Level Biology tuition, and BartyED’s A-Level Biology tutors are on hand to provide such support.

What makes BartyED’s A-Level Biology Tuition special?

A-Level Biology tuition, online or in-person, with BartyED is a step above other A-Level Biology tutoring. We begin with an assessment of the candidate’s unique individual orientation towards Biology material, that enables the tutor to build a truly individualized curriculum. This supports the candidate in developing their exam technique and cracking the A-Level Biology exam format. 

• BartyED’s A-Level Biology tutors are all uniquely qualified, often taking the A-Level Biology exam and tutoring many candidates to surpass expectations. Using material from previous examinations enables our in-person or online Biology A-Level tutors to cater to every student’s ability and mentor them directly to the examination requirements.

• Our bespoke curriculums mean that every student is uniquely catered for. We leave behind no neurodiverse student; while our one-to-one environment, both available in our centre or online through applications such as Zoom or Skype, mean that tutors can teach with an attention-to-detail not available in a classroom. Leveraging both the experience, knowledge and bespoke nature of the curriculums crafted by BartyED enables candidates to reach their full potential and exceed even high targets.

Indeed, our A-Level Biology tutors are known for instilling confidence and delivering grades. Top marks and confidence that carries beyond the exam hall are within the grasp of diligent students who study with BartyED.  

Our Biologists frequently go on to study in UK Red Brick Universities and Ivy League institutions in the US. Online, or in-person, our Biology A-Level tutors are the best and are readily available to support your child in unlocking their potential and receiving the marks their hard work deserves.
