What should I look for in an online GCSE Science tutor?
Short answer
Look for a tutor who can teach the right science route, diagnose misconceptions, explain required practicals and calculations, and practise exam-style answers.
Important details
- Science tutoring should match the course: Combined Science, separate sciences, and the student's exam board can all affect the right practice.
- The tutor should connect concepts, equations, practical work and precise scientific language.
- For many learners, the biggest gains come from fixing misconceptions and practising how to answer six-mark or calculation questions.

Should Science tutoring include calculations?
Yes where relevant, especially in Chemistry and Physics topics that involve equations and units.
Can Learnova help with exam boards?
Matching can take account of AQA, Pearson Edexcel or OCR where relevant; confirm the exact course when booking.
