Unlock your child’s potential in GCSE Science with our expert tutors. If you’re looking for a GCSE science tutor or help with GCSE science tuition, RS Remote Tutoring offers tailored support across Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
We cover all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas, CCEA) and help students prepare for both the Combined Science (Double Award) and Triple Science pathways. By combining expert subject knowledge with flexible online sessions, we give every learner the confidence and skills needed to achieve outstanding grades.
AQA’s specification emphasises that GCSE Computer Science equips students with logical and computational skills necessary to succeed at A‑level, in the workplace or beyond. Studying computer science trains you to:
Science lessons emphasise analytical thinking, argumentation and communication. These skills are invaluable in later studies and the workplace.
Scientific literacy allows learners to understand issues like food production, health, environmental conservation, energy usage and climate change.
Science builds a foundation for A‑Levels, university courses and careers in medicine, engineering, environmental science, data science and more..
Students typically choose between Combined Science (also called Double Science) and Triple Science. Both pathways cover Biology, Chemistry and Physics, but triple science includes more content, resulting in three separate GCSEs, one for each subject. Combined science covers roughly two‑thirds of the triple curriculum, awarding two GCSEs. In the combined course, grades are based on the average performance across all three sciences. Understanding these differences helps parents and students choose the right course and plan their revision accordingly.
Our tutors are experienced in all major UK exam boards, each of which has its own emphasis:
Offers two specifications, Trilogy and Synergy. The Trilogy course has six exam papers: two biology, two Chemistry and two physics. Each paper assesses distinct topic areas and lasts 1 hour 15 minutes. This board emphasises required practicals and straightforward questions using simple language
Known for its clear modular structure and strong focus on quantitative chemistry. Students sit exams for each discipline, and the papers often integrate calculations and data interpretation.
Provides a balanced specification that emphasises practical skills. The assessments include structured questions and extended responses.
Places strong emphasis on extended response questions and real‑life scientific applications. Students must articulate full answers using precise vocabulary.
Covers similar content to AQA but sometimes reorders topics; students must be comfortable with both short answers and extended practical questions.
For AQA Combined Science: Trilogy, there are six papers. Each discipline is split into two papers, each worth 16.7 % of the GCSE grade:
Topics 1–4 (Cell biology; Organisation; Infection and response; Bioenergetics). Exam length: 1 hour 15 minutes, 70 marks
Topics 5–7 (Homeostasis and response; Inheritance, variation & evolution; Ecology)
Topics 8–12 (Atomic structure, Bonding and structure, Quantitative chemistry, Chemical changes, Energy changes)
Topics 13–17 (Rate of reaction, Organic chemistry, Chemical analysis, Chemistry of the atmosphere, Using resources)
Topics 18–21 (Energy, Electricity, Particle model of matter, Atomic structure)
Topics 22–24 (Forces, Waves, Magnetism & Electromagnetism)
In Triple Science, students take separate GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Each subject has two papers similar to the Combined Science structure, but the content is broader and more detailed. This route awards three GCSE gradesand is ideal for students considering science careers or A‑Level sciences.
Our tutors guide students through the decision between Combined and Triple Science and provide targeted preparation for each pathway.
Biology explores life from tiny cells to complex ecosystems. Key topic areas include:
Understanding cell structure, microscopes, transport mechanisms (diffusion, osmosis, active transport) and specialised cells.
Structure of the heart and lungs, digestive system, and how systems interact to maintain homeostasis.
DNA and genes, meiosis and mitosis, inheritance patterns, Darwin’s theory, biodiversity and adaptation.
Respiration and gas exchange, circulatory systems, enzymes & digestion, hormonal control, immune response and disease.
Photosynthesis, factors affecting plant growth, nutrient cycles, food chains and webs.
Sampling techniques, human impacts on ecosystems, conservation and sustainability.
Our Biology tutors bring these topics to life with animations, diagrams and real‑world examples. Students learn to interpret experimental data and draw scientific conclusions while practising six‑mark questions that require precise scientific vocabulary.
Chemistry explains the composition and behaviour of matter. The GCSE course covers:
Subatomic particles, isotopes, electron configuration and trends in the periodic table.
Ionic, covalent and metallic bonding; properties of giant covalent structures and nano‑materials.
Moles, formula calculations, concentration, titrations and gas calculations.
Reactivity series, extraction of metals, electrolysis, endothermic & exothermic reactions.
Collision theory, factors affecting rate, reversible reactions, Le Chatelier’s principle.
Alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, polymers, cracking and biotechnology.
Testing for ions and gases, chromatography, Earth’s atmosphere, global warming and air pollution.
Potable water, life cycle assessments, recycling and sustainable manufacturing.
Chemistry often involves calculations. Our tutors teach clear step‑by‑step methods and provide formula sheets to help students master moles, balancing equations and energy changes. Interactive simulations allow students to visualise how particles behave during reactions.
While our Combined Science tuition emphasises Biology and Chemistry, many students also seek support for Physics, either as part of Triple Science or to strengthen understanding of concepts underlying other sciences. Topics include:
Energy stores & transfers, efficiency, heating & insulation, and renewable & non‑renewable energy resources.
Circuits, resistance, potential difference, current, power and safety.
States of matter, particle motion in gases, latent heat and gas pressure.
Atomic models, isotopes, radioactivity and nuclear equations.
Scalar and vector quantities, Newton’s laws, momentum, stopping distances and terminal velocity.
Magnetic fields, electromagnets, motors and generators, and electromagnetic induction.
Our Physics specialists simplify complex theories using practical examples from calculating the speed of toy cars to exploring how power stations generate electricity. Visualisations and experiments make abstract concepts concrete.
GCSE science isn’t just about memorising facts; it requires students to investigate, observe, experiment and test ideas. AQA emphasises that science involves talking, reading and writing about science as well as doing it, and representing it mathematically and visually. Our approach develops practical competence and scientific thinking through:
Students learn to plan experiments, identify independent and dependent variables, and control confounding factors.
We train students to record observations accurately, draw graphs, interpret trends and calculate uncertainty.
Learners assess the reliability of results, identify anomalies, and make evidence‑based conclusions.
We discuss safety considerations and ethical implications of scientific research.
By weaving practical skills into tuition, we prepare students for both exams and future laboratory work. Students practise required practicals (e.g., investigating photosynthesis, titration, electrical circuits) and learn to communicate findings clearly.
Every learner is unique. Our personalised curriculum begins with a diagnostic assessment to identify strengths and misconceptions. We then create a learning plan with clear weekly goals. Sessions typically include:
Visual explanations, stories and analogies that make concepts memorable.
Step‑by‑step support through exam‑style questions and data interpretation exercises.
Timed questions and mini‑tests to build exam stamina and self‑confidence.
Weekly reports to parents and students with progress updates and next‑steps.
This approach is designed to build confidence and foster independent study skills. For example, we teach students how to break down six‑mark questions into bullet‑point plans, interpret command words (describe, explain, evaluate), and identify key vocabulary. We also incorporate spaced practice, flashcards, recall questions and weekly mock questions to embed knowledge.
