Biology can be a very challenging subject for some students. Long texts, complicated organ systems and long scientific names ? I get the frustration. I’ve been simplifying biology for GCSE and A-level students for 3 years and no student has left my session feeling confused. My classes are topic based, interactive and exam centered. Part of the class is dedicated to explaining and simplifying the topic in discussion, and another part is always allocated to reviewing past papers together until the student is 100% confident about the topic. I assign short homework tasks ( few selected past paper questions) to encourage them to practice the topic on their own.
