How we help

What one-to-one Biology lessons with us include

Every lesson is live, one to one and built around your child. Here is what that looks like week to week.

A specialist, matched in 24 hours

We match your child with a Biology tutor who teaches their exact syllabus, Cambridge 0610 or Edexcel 4BI1. If the fit is wrong after the trial, we find another tutor for free.

A plan built on weak topics

In the first lessons, the tutor finds the topics costing the most marks. Lessons then follow a plan that tackles those first, well before mock exams.

Mark-scheme practice every week

Your child answers real past paper questions, then the tutor marks them the way an examiner would. They learn which key words earn marks in long answers.

Practical skills without a lab

Practical questions need a clear written method. The tutor coaches planning experiments, reading results and drawing graphs, using past practical questions.

Notes, flashcards and recordings

After each lesson your child gets notes and flashcards, and the lesson is recorded. Before a test, they can rewatch exactly how a topic was explained.

Lessons around your family's week

Choose lesson times that match your local clock, from Hong Kong to the Gulf, after school or at weekends. Pay per lesson or by package, with no lock-in.

Exam preparation

A plan for every paper your child sits

Cambridge students sit three papers at Core or Extended level, and Edexcel students sit two. Your tutor prepares each one in a different way.

Multiple-choice papers

Forty quick questions test recall. Your tutor builds speed with timed sets and shows how to rule out wrong options.

Ways to revise

Tutor, self-study or school revision class?

Many students try self-study with past papers or extra school classes first. This table compares those options with one-to-one tutoring on feedback, focus on weak topics and help with long answers.

About the course

What is IGCSE Biology, and how is it graded?

IGCSE Biology is a two-year course for students aged 14 to 16. Cambridge teaches it as syllabus 0610 and Pearson Edexcel as 4BI1. Both cover cells, enzymes, the human body, plants, genetics and ecosystems, and both lead on to A-Level.

According to Cambridge's June 2025 results, 13.8% of IGCSE Biology candidates worldwide got an A*, and 75.2% got a C or above. The top grade usually goes to students who can apply ideas to questions they have never seen before.

Most lost marks come from long answers, not missing facts. Students skip a step, misread a command word like explain or describe, or rush the data questions. Our tutors fix these habits paper by paper, using real past questions from each paper.

Biology FAQs

IGCSE Biology tutoring: questions parents ask

Short answers on tiers, practical papers, exam boards and cost.

Should my child sit Core or Extended Biology?

Extended students sit Papers 2 and 4 and can reach any grade from A* to G. Core students sit Papers 1 and 3 and can reach C to G. Ask the school, and your tutor can help you decide after a mock.

How can a tutor help with the practical paper?

Papers 5 and 6 test the same skills: planning an experiment, taking readings, drawing graphs and making conclusions. Your tutor practises these with real past questions, so the written method becomes routine.

Do you also teach the Edexcel 4BI1 course?

Yes. Five of our Biology tutors teach Edexcel 4BI1 as well as Cambridge 0610. The Edexcel course has two papers with no tiers, and Paper 2 goes deeper into some topics.

Which Biology topics do students find hardest?

Inheritance, transport in plants and coordination often cause trouble, because answers need clear steps. Your tutor finds your child's weakest topics in the first lessons and plans around them.

Does Biology help if my child wants medicine?

Biology leads on to A-Level Biology, which many medicine and health courses ask for. A strong IGCSE grade gives your child a solid base before they choose A-Level subjects.

How much do Biology lessons cost?

Lessons start from AED 50 an hour, depending on the tutor. The trial lesson costs AED 20 to 60. You can pay per lesson or buy a package, with no lock-in.
