September intake now open — 9 places left across all classes. Free assessments booking this week.
KS3 · GCSE · A-level — online, max 5 per class

Science tuition from a qualified science teacher who has taught in several schools.

Small-group online classes of up to 5 students, taught the way the best science lessons are taught in school: retrieval practice, constant checks for understanding, and plenty of guided practice. Students attend all three weekly classes: Biology on Fridays, Chemistry on Saturdays, Physics on Sundays.

£30 per week for all three sciences · Qualified teacher (QTS) · Replies within 24 hours

What your child gets

Small classes, taught properly

Students attend all three classes each week, covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics in full. Groups are capped at 5 so every student is seen, questioned and helped in every lesson.

Max 5 students

Every student, every lesson

With only 5 places per class, no one hides at the back. I use a structured method on Zoom to check every single student's understanding, so misconceptions are caught and fixed before we move on and every student gets the help they need.

Weekly homework

Retrieval-focused homework

Homework is set every week through dedicated software built around retrieval practice, so what's learned in class keeps being revisited between lessons and stays in long-term memory.

Parent updates

Progress you can see

Every topic in all three sciences ends with an end-of-topic test, and parents receive the score. You'll always know exactly how your child is doing.

The method

How every lesson is taught

Every lesson follows the same evidence-based structure used in high-performing classrooms.

Phase 1

Do Now

Every lesson opens with retrieval practice on prior learning. Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve shows we lose most new knowledge within days unless we actively recall it — so we recall it, every single lesson.

Phase 2

Teacher input

New content taught in clear, carefully sequenced steps, with worked examples and precise explanations from a qualified teacher.

Phase 3

Check for understanding

Frequent checks on all 5 students to weed out misconceptions before they take root. We only move on when everyone understands.

Phase 4

Student practice

Extended independent practice: stretch and challenge for students who are flying, scaffolding for those who need it. This is where students do the thinking and the learning sticks.

Why this structure? Retrieval practice, checking for understanding and guided practice are among the most reliably effective teaching strategies in education research, and they underpin the best classroom teaching in the country.

Results

What families say

Feedback from parents of current and former students.

Set 3 → Set 1

"My son was in set 3 for science when he started with Zak. He's now been moved up to set 1 at school. His confidence has completely changed."

— Parent of a KS4 student

9–9 at GCSE

"After two years of classes with Zak, my son achieved a 9-9 in his GCSE science. We couldn't have asked for a better result."

— Parent of a GCSE student, 2 years of tuition

"She gets it"

"My daughter loves Zak's teaching style. She never leaves a class without having understood the lesson."

— Parent of a current student
