The specifications we use are for the main recognised exam boards which have been developed with the involvement of thousands of UK qualified teachers. So you can be confident that our IGCSE course is relevant and interesting to teach and to learn. Our specifications ensure that:
the subject content is presented
clearly, in a logical teaching & learning order. We’ve
also given teaching guidance and signposted opportunities for skills development
throughout the specification
the subject content and required /
core Practicals in our IGCSE Biology, Chemistry,
Physics & Double award Science.
all our science qualifications
provide opportunities for progression. Our IGCSE the
progression in the subject content and consistency in the exam questions, so that our
students have the best preparation for A-level.
There’s no better way to learn about science than through purposeful practical activities as part of day-to-day teaching and learning.
Our required /core Practicals:
are clearly laid out in the
specification, so you know exactly what’s required
are deliberately open, so you can
teach in the way that suits you and your students
have already been trialled in
schools.
You’ll find even more support and guidance in our practical handbook, which includes recommendations and advice from teachers in the trial.
The exam boards we work with have improved their question papers. You’ll find that their exams:
use more straightforward language
and fewer words so they’re easier to understand
have fewer contexts so students
don’t get confused
have questions that increase in
difficulty so students feel confident
have been written with our IGCSE
and A-level science teams, so students have
consistency between content and questions.
We’ve worked with experienced teachers to provide you with a range of resources that will help you confidently plan, teach and prepare for exams.
We would like to pass on our feedback and show appreciation for Science Clinic Private Tutors that worked with our daughter and improved her Chemistry & Physics skills in the run up to her GCSE exams They were only with us for a short time but the work they did in that short period of time was unbelievable. Kayleigh got A* in both subjects.
B.K. Thomas - Manchester
I would like you to know how delighted we have been with Science Clinic Private Tutors who provided 1-2-1 tuitions in Physics, Mathematics & Chemistry to my daughter for 3 years. She went from grade 4 at the end of year 9 to getting 9*, 8 & 8 respectively in her GCSE.
J.C. Paula - Liverpool
We are grateful to Science Clinic Private Tutors for giving Tom confidence and for assisting him greatly in improving his performance to the level of getting 8 & 9* in Biology, Chemistry & Physics.
C.K. Tommy - Birmingham
Thank you, Science Clinic Private Tutors, for your prompt and efficient service. It was so simple; I wish we had found you sooner.
Charlie H - Colchester
Science Clinic Private Tutors tutored both of my daughters in GCSE Science. Both daughters were not a fan of the subject and that reflected in their grades. This company literally came to the rescue and not only do they now like science, but they also passed! which enabled them to take the A levels they wanted. I highly recommend Science Clinic Private Tutors to anyone considering private tuition
Lisa - Braintree
I used Science Clinic Private Tutors for 2 years and they helped me with my GCSE in Mathematics and all 3 Sciences. They massively improved my grades and my confidence in both subjects. Thank you so much for all your help, would highly recommend :)
Holly Corbell - Ramsden Heath
Prior to joining Science Clinic, my daughter’s self confidence was low because she was performing poorly in maths and science. After few months of receiving tutoring from science clinic, she realise it’s not as difficult to understand. Her GCSE results were very good especially in science.
Peggy Ebhodaghe - London
Thank you so much Science Clinic Private Tutors for your professional, friendly and helpful tutoring of our daughter Florence in all 3 science subjects which has resulted in very successful GCSE results this summer.
Treena Burrows - Ingestone
I am not accustomed to writing any reviews, but in this case, I feel compelled to extol the virtues of my son-Kenneth’s tutors from Science Clinic Private Tutors. For quite some time I had been seriously concerned on my son’s inability to grasp the basics of such an important educational imperative. In Kenneth’s case he was lacking interest, ambition and to a certain extent had missed out on the fundamentals of the Sciences/ Maths. This was until Science Clinic Private Tutors came on board to help Kenneth with his Maths and Science. His tutor seemed to make mathematics and science come alive and in doing so created such an intense interest in my son that when it came to his exams he passed with flying colours. I am so proud of my son for doing so well but had he not met his tutor, he would have not excelled in his schoolwork. With my immense gratitude and appreciation for Science Clinic Private Tutors for their dedication, patience, hard work and obvious love of their job. I would recommend other parents to contact this company.
Mrs Maideyi Dumbura - Witham
I would highly recommend Science Clinic Private Tutors. They gave us tutor that does both Maths and Science which means our son had great flexibility over his tutoring. The tutor was able to move our son up two sets in Maths and he achieved good grades both subjects. We are using this company again for our younger son and daughter
Ben Murrell - Brentwood
Helped a lot for my sciences and maths higher. I got the following grades: Mathematics = 7, Chemistry = 8, Physics = 7 and Biology = 8. I would definitely recommend if you think you need any form of guidance in the subjects.
Thank you so much ''Science Clinic Private Tutors''
Levy Lawson - Manchester
The service is very organised, any enquiries were dealt with straightaway.
Mehtab Ali (Science Teacher) is very knowledgeable and his manner and teaching style are exemplary. My son made very good progress with the help and support he provided. His confidence really grew.
I would highly recommend using this tutoring service to anyone preparing their child for GCSEs & A-level exams.
Happy parent!

Hello Science Clinic Team,
just wanted to thank your tutors for all their help and support they gave my son, the academic transformation within that short space of time was amazing, there is no way Tade would have achieved the grades he got without your help.....all his tutors were fantastic especially Mr Anthony, who really took his time to warm Tade into the subject, he would start by talking to him about football just to relax him, within weeks Tade was looking forward to his teaching, Mrs. Wade was equally fantastic, showing so much belief in him, which elevated his confidence tremendously. Ms IQRA also was exceptionally good, her resounding knowledge of Science has truly transformed my son. I know my wife has given a review on your website, I just wanted to send you a personal text to express my gratitude, I'm sure in years to come, Tade will look back with gratitude for the role your tutors played in his life....my wife has referred your company to some of her friends and will continue to do so.. Thanks once again and good luck with your business.
GOD bless

Dr Azad has been an absolute outstanding Tutor to my son. His flexibility, positive attitude, dedication to the student's learning in his lessons has been amazing. He is particularly skilled in breaking down complex concepts for his students, which has been a great asset and has helped my son's in Physics to improve tremendously. I would highly recommend him for any future tuition.

Katie Jackson was great! She brought my daughter up to speed really quickly as we came to her very late on. She was flexible if we needed extra sessions and warm and friendly. Thank you so much!
Emma Moody - 12 Jun 2023
Thank you to Mr Anthony Onyenuforo for believing in my son. You had a way that helped to build my sons confidence in maths over the last year
Yemi Ibrahim - 18 Jun 2023
My daughter is happy with her Maths and Science tutors. Their experience and passion for teaching can be seen from their attitude, way of approaching children and preparation for seasons.
Georgeta Diac - 05 Jun 2023
My Daughter was Tutored by Aisha (Science Tutor), whose been amazing. Initially she had little or no confidence in her ability to achieve GCSE level and had lost interest in the subjects. Aisha took her on and her teaching style was perfect in building up my daughter's confidence, so much so she went from Grade E to achieving Grade B in all 3 Science subjects. Aisha was patient, compassionate, flexible in adapting her teaching style and pace to suit my daughter's needs. She's very skilled in breaking down the subjects to student level so they can grasp the concepts whilst maintaining their interests. I would highly recommend her for bringing out the best in any student to the highest level.
Verbena Newyear 16 Nov 2022
Andrea Downer has been an exceptional tutor. She helped my grandson get through his Math's GCSE with great results. Andrea is friendly, encouraging, supportive and easy going and I would strongly recommend her.
Eileen Sereaton 08 Sep 2022
They called me without wasting time.
It was easy to negotiate with them.
They have different grades of teachers for each subject and are willing to teach even if the exam is close.
Monica Anyanwu - 01 Oct 2023
My son Oliver started 11 plus English tuition with Miss Nur in July this year. In the beginning, he had tried the past English papers and got the mark around 30 out of 60. In order to get into Kegs in Chelmsford, he needed at least 40 in English. So it’s very challenging.
During the lesson, Nur went through questions on homework sheets one by one with Oliver, making sure he understood it thoroughly, rather than guessing it. Before the exam, she gave him exam tips which turned out very beneficial to him. I remembered Oliver read her exam tips and wore a thinking cap all the way to the exam centre. Not surprising, in the end, he achieved 44/60 in English and the standardized score of 373 in total.
I would highly recommend Miss Nur to anyone as she’s patient, encouraging and committed. I wish her all the best.
Amy - 09 Nov 2022
Allow me to thank Sue Schulkins for the wonderful work she has done with our son’s English classes. We have seen our son’s interest grow as the sessions have progressed. Before Sue started out with him - I noticed she gathered as much information as she could and she listened to us and even adopted some of our methods. She improved on them and added her own unique creativity. She was very unlike some teachers who would insist on using their own method - she never did that. She was able to find out from our son his expectations and discovered he loves unusually funny narratives. She incorporated this into her curriculum and we have seen such a marked improvement in his English comprehension. He is having fun during the English sessions and his work has improved. He is attentive and focused. Sue Schulkins is certainly a different kind of teacher and we are very happy with her work. Well done Sue.
