Science Tuition Bridgend

The science team aims to develop the problem solving and enquiry skills of your child across the range of Science subjects. There are many courses on offer with Science and it depends on your school, which course your child is sitting. We cover double science and triple science in all three science subjects. So if your child is struggling in one or all three of the subjects we can help.

Pre GCSE Science Bridgend

The fundamental understanding of Science is not just achieved at GCSE, the foundations are set at KS3. Our KS3 course is a watered down version of the GCSE syllabus that allows us to develop the key skills of the learners and introduce them to the basic knowledge required to build on at GCSE.

  • The world around us

    We look at the diversity of the planet and the environment in which organisms live. We discover the basics of evolution and the conditions needed for living things to survive and thrive. We look at the structure of living things and how the prevention and treatment of diseases is vital in our society.

  • Matter and how it behaves

    We look at how matter is structured and how it's interactions with other matter is determined by its properties. We discover why chemical reactions happen and the conditions needed to make these reactions benefit industry. 

  • Forces and energy

    We discover the interactions between all matter in the universe, from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy. We strive to understand energy and its impact on our universe. We learn to apply mathematical theories to physics problems and we look at the laws that govern our universe.

  • Curiosity and problem solving

    Learners will learn how to use their curiosity and apply it to discovering more about the scienctific world. They will solve problems that will encourage them to apply knowledge and skills to achive an outcome. They will learn how to structure extended writing questions building up the skills needed to achive at GCSE.

GCSE Science Tuition

We cover the GCSE syllabus for double and triple science. We are able to provide these subjects separately or all three combined. We look at the knowledge and skills required to achieve in these subjects. The course is split into year 10 and year 11 sessions, which means if your child is resitting a unit from year 10 we are able to support this.  The sessions are structured to support the learner in developing key bits of knowledge and applying them to questions including past paper and quality of extended response questions.

  • Practical Exam Support

    The learners will develop the analysis skills to sit the practical exam. They will enhance these skills by looking at past papers, developing the confidence to follow a method and analysing a set of data. They will also learn to evaluate an experiment and suggest improvements.
