Small group tuition providing practical science experience to support home education
Who is it suitable for?
These sessions offer older students the opportunity to develop their experimental understanding, technical skills and scientific knowledge at the same time as offering more exam-focused support for those at any stage of studying towards their IGCSE Science qualifications. Read more
Do you have a younger child who would enjoy similar sessions tailored for a younger age? Please let us know, mentioning your child's age and what you are looking for, as we are considering building this in to the plans for January to March 2023.
What do they learn?
In each session, students are guided to complete a practical experiment (some sessions may include more than one), using appropriate laboratory equipment. Where appropriate, they are supported to develop the experimental skills that are assessed in written examinations and to use, select and understand equipment. Using an individually-tailored blend of active learning strategies, student-led exploration, demonstrations and practice exam questions, students improve their understanding of the relevant science topic and develop their technical skills.
