Practical Science

Small group tuition providing practical science experience to support home education
Available in two age groups
Every child is different,
so the age is a guide, not a restriction.

The groups overlap so those in the middle can choose between a more exam-focused approach (11-16s) and one that lays a foundation (8-12s) upon which exam-focused skills and knowledge may later be further developed:
Practical Science for 8-12s
Practical Science for 11-16s
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"It was excellent, I have never seen a teacher try to meet my child’s needs so enthusiastically and effectively".
