Y12 AQA - Weekly group Masterclasses from 1st of October 2024 Tuesdays at 5.15pm

If you are studying AQA A level Biology, you will benefit from joining my Y12 group Masterclasses, which start on Tuesday the 1st of October at 5.15pm

There is a different topic each week.

We cover the required theory, linking this to examples of AQA past-paper exam questions so students can see how to correctly apply their knowledge to gain full credit.

The classes are popular and interactive.

“ I find the A level Biology group tutoring sessions extremely beneficial and effective to consolidating my understanding on topics. The focus the sessions have on understanding biological concepts and how to correctly answer past paper questions has really helped me. Through actively attending the group tutoring sessions my Biology grades are quickly improving from Cs to As. I would recommend the A level Biology group tutoring sessions to any student needing that extra push and guidance (like myself) to achieve the best grade possible in A level Biology.”

— Eloise Brown - Google Reviews

The class is only for AQA Y12 students - this focus means I can give advice specific to how AQA word their exam questions and their requirements.

Classes run on every week on Zoom, last an hour, and cost £45.

You are welcome to attend as a paid trial, if you wish to continue then you are committing to attend regularly.
