I'm an experienced GCSE & A-level Biology Tutor with a very strong scientific background. I have a 1st Class BSc in Medical Physiology and am currently studying graduate entry medicine. My aim is to help students develop a thorough understanding of scientific concepts. I teach students holistically, in a way best suited to their individual learning style & needs. I’ve tutored students of all ages, from KS1-6th Form. Students that I’ve tutored have gone from C's to A's at GCSE and D's to A's at A-level - and I've found it so rewarding teaching each & every one of them :)

Joel Smith-Prance
I am a graduate of the University of South Florida with a Bachelors of Science in Biology, and am currently studying for my Masters in Molecular Biology. I have experience in scientific labs, manufacturing labs, and medical offices. I am now working towards my goal of becoming a clinical neuropsychologist where I will do my best to improve the quality of life of everybody I meet. Destigmatizing and helping those who suffer from mental health issues and addiction has long been a passion of mine. This has mostly come from my time volunteering at various mental health facilities, homeless shelters, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Reading with, tutoring, and just spending time with residents talking is how most of my time is spent at these facilities. I hope to make an impact on students I tutor while also learning everything I can from them. The physical and natural sciences have been my main focus but I maintain a strong interest in learning and teaching history, English (to non-native speakers), psychology, geography, and math.

Lorem ipsum...

What is GCSE biology?

GCSE biology gives students in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland an academic qualification in biology. Pupils are usually 14-16 years old when they take it in years 10 and 11.

What does GCSE biology cover?

The GCSE biology course looks at living organisms (e.g. animals, microorganisms, and fungi) and how they interact with each other and the environment.

How many GCSE biology topics are there?

The order and structure of the GCSE biology lessons will vary slightly by each GCSE biology exam board. However, the content is similar amongst them all. We’ll show the AQA GCSE biology exam board topics since it’s the largest exam board in the UK.

  1. Cell biology

  2. Organisation

  3. Infection and response

  4. Bioenergetics

  5. Homeostasis and response

  6. Inheritance, variation and evolution

  7. Ecology

How difficult is GCSE biology?

The GCSE biology course is challenging mainly due to its vast content. However, even students who find GCSE biology difficult can end up getting great results. That’s because a lot of questions are fact-based so if your kid learns all the material off by heart, they can easily breeze through these types of questions.

There are more difficult concepts to absorb though which can’t be mastered just by memorising notes and material. If your child is struggling with any of the topics, it pays to get a private GCSE biology tutor because they will present the ideas in a different manner and work with your child until they fully understand them.

How many GCSE biology exams are there?

Continuing to use the AQA GCSE biology exam board for consistency, there are two papers (as you’ll find with each of the exam boards). Both of the GCSE biology exams are equally weighted.

How long is a GCSE biology exam?

Let’s look at how long a GCSE biology exam is and what type of questions your kid can expect on the AQA GCSE biology exam.

  • Paper 1 - Is 1 hour 45 minutes long and the questions are multiple-choice, structured, closed short answer, and open response

  • Paper 2 - Is 1 hour 45 minutes long and the questions are multiple-choice, structured, closed short answer, and open response

Useful GCSE biology revision tips

When your teen first starts the GCSE biology course it’s likely they will be overwhelmed by all of the content in their textbook. As we mentioned earlier, there is a lot of material to cover and like most students, your kid will undoubtedly find some topics much easier than others in GCSE biology lessons.

The good news is, with perseverance and a strict study schedule, your child can do well in their GCSE biology exam. Here are some tried and tested methods by our students when it comes to GCSE biology revision that you can share with your teen.

Create a GCSE biology study plan

Your kid will have multiple subjects to study for and planning their time wisely will help ease their stress levels and allow them to focus. They should look at all of the GCSE biology lessons they need to revise and allocate time accordingly.

If your kid is like many who finds organising daunting, a GCSE biology tutor can help with this task. We have GCSE biology online tutors who are experts with this and have all been there themselves. Enlisting the help of GCSE biology tuition from the start can be a real game-changer because of this aspect.

Make the most of mind maps for GCSE biology topics

Mind maps are a brilliant tool for organising thoughts and are great for learning. Since they’re a visual tool, many students enjoy working with them. Your kid will also find them useful for piecing together and linking different GCSE biology topics that are related.

Here’s how to create a mind map for GCSE biology revision in four steps:

  1. Write or draw the main concept/topic in the middle of a piece of paper

  2. Add any information that relates to the topic and connect them to the main concept

  3. Continue adding more branches as necessary and draw lines to connect similar ideas or those that are related

  4. Review the visual diagram and use it as part of the GCSE biology revision process

Create GCSE biology revision cards

The GCSE biology course requires a lot of memorising in order to ace the GCSE biology exam. For that reason, GCSE biology revision cards will play a key role in your child’s GCSE biology revision.

Here are some of our top tips on making the perfect GCSE biology revision cards:

  • Keep sentences short and use images where possible because the human brain is great at remembering images

  • Use a variety of colours to make important ideas jump out

  • Use spaced repetition by referring back to the GCSE biology revision cards at frequent intervals and testing recall ability

Make GCSE biology online course notes

Some schools and colleges will provide GCSE biology online course notes and material. This is great since your teen can access these from anywhere at any time. If your kid doesn’t have GCSE biology online revision notes they can easily set them up themselves by rewriting important information from the textbook and notes from class onto a cloud-based storage platform.

That way, your kid can revise by pulling out their phone and accessing the docs and folders whenever they want. They could be waiting to meet a friend or have 10 minutes to kill before starting swimming training and think of a problem in one of the GCSE biology lessons they can’t quite remember. By being able to immediately look up the information, this will calm them plus it’s extra GCSE biology online revision time.

Use private GCSE biology tutoring

We are often asked by parents when they should get private GCSE biology tutoring support. This will depend on the individual but the bottom line is the earlier the better. That’s because building a strong bond with a private GCSE biology tutor before they are overwhelmed or before exam time has enormous benefits.

Remember, a GCSE biology online tutor will also help build a great GCSE biology online revision plan with your child. This takes a lot of stress off your teen’s shoulders because they have a clear structure and timetable to follow, making it all seem manageable (because it is!). How to find the right GCSE biology tuition

There are plenty of great GCSE biology tutors so all you need to do is find the best fit for your child. We’ve already spoken about how important it is to have GCSE biology online revision set up as well as other means such as GCSE biology revision cards. The same goes for finding a GCSE biology tutor. If you opt for GCSE biology online tutoring then your kid can access the videos from class and material on the go or at home in one easy-to-find location.

Find qualified GCSE biology private tuition

While it might be easy to find GCSE biology tutors, finding qualified GCSE biology private tuition is the next step. It’s possible that you know someone who aced the GCSE biology course but that doesn’t mean they know how to teach. What you need is someone with both skill sets: knowledgeable about the content in GCSE biology lessons and trained as a GCSE biology tutor.

Match the right GCSE biology tutor to your kid

The best way to ensure your kid gets engaged and stays motivated with GCSE biology online tutoring is to match the right person to your teen. This needs to be based on their qualifications and personality. At GoStudent we find that by taking the time to match the right GCSE biology tutor to each student, the grades they receive and the enjoyment they get out of the sessions are exponential.

Test the waters with any GCSE biology tutor first

Whether your teen has been paired to the right GCSE biology tutor will usually be obvious from the start. Have a trial run with a tutor before committing to purchasing bulk lessons which some will ask for in advance. Bulk lessons or packages are a great way for you to save money on GCSE biology online tutoring, just make sure your kid is happy with the person before you jump in.
