Need a GCSE Combined Science tutor in Islington or online?
GCSE Combined Science (Double Award) brings Biology, Chemistry and Physics together in a single qualification, so students need to be secure across all three at once rather than just one. Muhammad works from your child’s own specification, exam board and tier, so every lesson maps directly onto what they’ll actually be assessed on.
Lessons start with a short diagnostic conversation to find out where your child is now: which topics feel solid, which ones are guesswork, and whether Foundation or Higher tier is the right target. From there, sessions run one to one or two to one, in person or online. Muhammad teaches the Physics and Chemistry content; our associate tutor teaches the Biology content.
What’s covered
- Biology — cells, organisation, infection and response, bioenergetics, homeostasis, inheritance and ecology
- Chemistry — atomic structure, bonding, quantitative chemistry, chemical changes, energy changes, rates and organic chemistry
- Physics — forces and motion, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, particle model of matter and atomic structure
- Working scientifically, required practicals and the maths skills used across all three sciences
- Exam technique across the full set of Combined Science papers
Content applies across all exam boards — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CIE all draw on the same underlying science, so the difference between boards is mostly in question style and paper structure, not in what’s taught. Tier is reviewed regularly rather than fixed at the outset, since a student’s ceiling can shift a great deal between Year 10 and the final exams.
Students typically start anywhere from confident-but-inconsistent to unsure where to begin, and work towards the exam-technique fluency that turns understanding into marks: reading the command word correctly, showing working that picks up method marks, and applying the right idea without hesitating under time pressure.
