Where we can help
Start with what is getting in the way.
Bring a question, a recent test or the topic you are working on. We can help with homework, missed foundations, revision or a change of curriculum.
Explain how a process works
Connect the steps in a biological process instead of learning definitions on their own.
Use the results in the question
Read graphs and investigation results, then use that evidence in your answer.
Choose precise words
Practise using biological terms correctly so your explanation is clear.
Plan a longer answer
Put the relevant facts in a logical order and answer what the question asks.
