About Science tuition

Science tutoring covers Biology, Chemistry and Physics — either as Combined Science (Double Award) or as separate sciences at GCSE. It is one of the most requested subjects for private tuition in the UK, with parents seeking support from Year 7 right through to A-Level.

Combined Science at GCSE spans six different subject areas simultaneously, and students often have gaps in just one or two that pull down an otherwise strong grade — a tutor can identify and fix those specific weak points efficiently.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Science tutor cost in the UK?

GCSE Science tutors in the UK typically charge £30–£55/hr for Combined Science and £35–£65/hr for separate sciences. A-Level Science specialists (Biology, Chemistry or Physics) usually charge £40–£70/hr. On TutorLab tutors set their own rates and display them on their profiles — there is no agency commission on top.

Should my child study Combined Science or Triple Science?

Combined Science (Double Award) gives two GCSE grades across Biology, Chemistry and Physics content. Triple Science gives three separate GCSEs. Triple Science is worth doing if your child wants to study a science A-Level or pursue medicine, engineering or chemistry at university — many of those courses expect or prefer separate science GCSEs. A tutor who knows both specifications can help you decide.

My child is struggling with all three sciences — where should a tutor start?

Most tutors start with a diagnostic session covering the key topics in each science to identify where marks are being lost. Students rarely struggle equally across all three — there is usually one or two weak areas pulling down the overall grade. Physics calculations and Chemistry mole questions are the most common stumbling blocks.
