Preparing for A Level Science

BioGrad Education is part of the BioGrad Group, established in 2014 and based at Wavertree Science Park in Liverpool. In addition to our unique range of laboratory and clinic-based training courses (Level 3 to Level 7), our curriculum team also provides specialist programmes to support A-Level Science students and teachers across the UK.

Our Preparing for A-Level Science classes are engaging, small-group online sessions designed to give students a real head start in Physics and Chemistry before beginning their A-Level studies. These sessions bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level, building both subject knowledge and essential skills.

Led by experienced specialists Dr Carly O’Neil (Chemistry) and Sarah Annand (Physics), the programme combines pre-recorded video tutorials, independent practice tasks, instant-feedback quizzes, and interactive live tutorials. Students will:
• Revisit and strengthen key GCSE topics
• Master the mathematical skills needed for success (worth up to 40% of Physics and at least 20% of Chemistry marks)
• Develop the problem-solving ability that A-Levels demand

The classes are flexible and practical. Learners complete the video and independent work at their own pace, then join a live online session where the tutor focuses on the areas that need the most attention.

Cost: £30 per student, per unit. Students may book up to three units. Spaces are limited to ensure personalised support. Book now to begin your A-Level journey with confidence and clarity.

 

Unit : Maths for A Level Science

At least 20% of marks in A level Chemistry, and up to 40% in Physics, will require the use of mathematic skills. This unit covers the key mathematical skills that it is assumed learners are competent in when they start their A level studies. It includes 2 video tutorials, independent work, a multiple choice quiz and a 1 hour online tutorial. Content covered includes:  

- Significant figures and decimal places
- Standard and non-standard form
- Ratios
- Converting units
- Rearranging equations
- Graph skills:
- Scales Gradients
- Straight line graph equation
- Tangents

 

Unit : Physics

Across 2 video tutorials, independent work, a multiple choice quiz and an hour online session, this unit covers the key content from GCSE Physics, including: 

- Current, potential difference and resistance
- Series and parallel circuits
- Energy transfers
- Waves in air, fluids and solids
- Electromagnetic waves

 

 

Unit : Chemistry 

Across 2 video tutorials, independent work, a multiple choice quiz and an hour online session, this unit covers the key content from GCSE Chemistry, including: 

- Atomic Structure
- Electron configuration
- Forming ions
- Building Formulae
- Writing and Balancing Equations
- Calculating relative molecular mass

 

 

The live sessions can be done in any order, but the relevant video tutorials, independent work and MCQ quiz should be completed before the live session.
