SCIENCE TUITION ACADEMY

Welcome to the Science Tuition Academy, operated by two highly experienced Science Leaders, who have worked in several Outstanding schools. Over the years, we have found that Parents are sending their children to tuition centres to fill in knowledge gaps left by schools, but this too also presents a problem as many tuition centres use unqualified teachers that don’t have the pedagogy and skills to deliver the Science Curriculum. Some tuition centres may employ qualified teachers, but again they tend to be NQTs (Newly Qualified Teachers) with little experience and limited if any success rates. 

Our Science Tuition differs, as we will teach every lesson ourselves. We will not hire substandard teachers/tutors and place your children in their care, as we believe that every child should have access to the very best teacher.

We have proven track records in GCSE and A level Sciences with the highest results. With our significant experience in the Secondary sector, we have had countless students progress to the UK’s finest Universities, to pursue their studies in Medicine, Dentistry and Optometry. 

We have a genuine interest in helping students in their Science studies and over the years have been inundated with requests from our pupils and their parents, to provide high level tuition outside the regular school setting. Over the years we have found that too many students are being let down by teachers and their school, with ineffective teaching leading to students missing out on top grades and subsequent progression to study A Levels and their first choice universities. 

This has been made worse over the years by the Government’s lack of real investment in the education system. Work-load pressures, a lack of experienced staff and shortages of highly qualified science specialists have now become the norm staff in Science Departments across England and Wales. This has led to significant deficits in the teaching of science, with many not having the time or guidance to develop their subject knowledge, which in turn has led to substandard teaching, impacting pupil progress. 

The decline of science teaching in the UK has been made clear, looking at national statistics, where we can see that only 25% of pupils sit GCSEs in every science (Separate Sciences) and over 35% of students fail to even gain a Grade 4 (Standard Pass). 

Science Departments often only have a few outstanding science teachers which means cohorts of students can go through their entire Secondary education (Years 7 to 11) without ever being taught by these top teachers. We have also found that Parents are sending their children to tuition centres to fill in knowledge gaps left by schools, but this too also presents a problem as many tuition centres use unqualified teachers that don’t have the subject knowledge, track record, pedagogy and skills to deliver.  

As Science teachers who want to help as many students as possible, we were compelled to provide a higher quality service to our community. Our science tuition differs, as we ourselves will teach every lesson. We will not hire substandard teachers/tutors and place your children in their care, as we believe that every child should have access to the very best teacher. We are currently offering one to one tuition and Group tuition online, through the use of the Zoom platform.
