Science GCSE Tuition

Most mature students simply require ‘a Science GCSE’. The single Combined Science is by far the simplest option. This syllabus ( AQA 4462 ) includes parts of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, but not in any great depth or difficulty.

There is just one straight forward practical to do – at home; we guide you through this. It doesn’t require any complex equipment!

Students should note that this Combined course is only examined in Summer (May/June); should you need to take a Science GCSE in the Winter series, a separate - individual - subject, eg Biology, must be taken:
The perception of Biology has always been that it’s the easiest science, but the modern Physics course is quite straightforward and accessible. Chemistry is a more abstract subject than most mature students would want to consider, but is appropriate as a Home Education choice.

These separate science syllabuses are iGCSEs (the ones lots of private schools do nowadays) with Edexcel.

Examinations are in Summer (May/June) or January.

Double Science is not recommended for mature students as it’s double the work and double the cost.

As with all our courses the work begins with a written Assessment from which point the tutor sets out a programme of study: tasks and assignments to be marked and further advice given. Your tutor will monitor your progress and is always available to help with individual problems.
