A-Level Chemistry November Masterclasses

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 A level Science Masterclasses are engaging blended learning courses that combine guided independent learning with live, online sessions with expert tutors to support learners with their A Level studies. They can be used by learners that are homeschooled to support their studies, or by those in school or college to support them with topics they have found challenging. They are a cost effective alternative to private, one-on-one tuition that also support learners with developing independent study skills, which will pay dividends when approaching higher education!
