Expert tuition for every stage
Comprehensive Science tutoring for children aged 7 to 11. This covers foundational topics in science. At this age, our tutors help children develop an understanding of scientific enquiry and a love of experimentation and discovery.
At Key Stage 3, the Science curriculum begins to distinguish more clearly between biology, chemistry, and physics. Our science tutors help students master the content and encourage critical thinking and practical application of scientific principles.
Whether your child is preparing for Combined, Dual, or Triple Science, our GCSE Science tutors can help them improve their exam performance. By addressing any weak areas and focusing on exam technique, our tutoring helps children achieve top grades.
Our A Level and IB Science tutors help children excel in their school exams. With specialist tutors for all three Sciences, our support helps students master advanced curricula and improve their grades.

“I have taught and tutored Maths and Physics for 15 years and Computer Science for the last five years, working across a wide range of settings from state and independent schools in the UK to British international schools in Spain and Thailand. I believe all students want to succeed, but many simply need guidance with the skills and methods needed to achieve their full potential. This is where my experience as a teacher, former head of department and examiner for two exam boards adds great value to our tutoring sessions. I have also prepared students for entrance exams at 11+, 13+ and 16+ and as an Oxford alumni myself, I have also helped with application and interview preparation for Oxbridge candidates. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I love to travel and have visited over 60 countries, with a few more still on my bucket list!”

“I have been teaching chemistry for over 30 years, with most of that time as head of department in a large mixed secondary school. I am very familiar with the AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards and also have a lot of experience preparing students for tests beyond A Level such as the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge and the RSC Chemistry Olympiad. For several years I was part of the AQA A Level practical exam writing team. As a sixth form tutor I helped countless students with their UCAS applications and am more than happy to give advice on the writing of personal statements, particularly those for medicine and other courses that require science A Levels. I put a lot of effort into preparing individual lessons for my tutees and welcome the opportunity to set and assess extra work for my students if so desired. I have a huge bank of resources gathered over my teaching career to help students understand and revise this challenging subject. I absolutely love teaching chemistry and see it as a privilege to be able to work alongside students to allow them to gain the confidence and skills necessary to achieve their own success. ”

“Following completion of my PGCE, I taught across a range of secondary schools in London, spanning both the state and independent sectors. More recently, I have gained extensive experience lecturing undergraduate and postgraduate students at King’s College London, and I am currently completing a PhD in Cardiovascular Biochemistry. Alongside my ongoing commitment to tutoring Biology and Chemistry at GCSE, A level, and IB, including preparation for admissions examinations and interviews, I have a strong interest in advancing digital literacy within secondary and higher education. Beyond academia, you’ll find me playing the piano and reviewing London’s restaurants.”

Nick
“I am an experienced mathematics tutor with over twenty years of teaching across GCSE, iGCSE, A Level, Further Mathematics, a wide range of school entrance exams, and university mathematics admissions tests. I hold a PhD in Mathematics, a PGCE, Advanced Skills Teacher (AST) status, and national leadership qualifications (NPQSL and NPQLTD). I have a strong record of helping students make rapid, often transformational progress, and I specialise in building confidence through clear explanations and a supportive, question-friendly approach. Alongside tutoring, I have recently worked for the DfE-funded Advanced Mathematics Support Programme, where I trained teachers and delivered workshops on university admissions tests, applications and interview preparation. Outside of work, I enjoy time outdoors, especially with my four grown up children who are now at university.”

“I have been a primary school teacher for over 30 years, working in state schools across London. I ensure my lessons are pacy and involve a range of active learning tasks. I use Project-Based Learning projects to help transform students’ interests into academic excellence and long-term skill development. I empower students through scaffolded instruction by transitioning from direct modelling to independent mastery. I keep students engaged through interactive checkpoints that break down complex topics into manageable chunks. My lessons conclude with an application challenge, turning new knowledge into a skill students can use straight away.”

Amin A
“I possess a Masters Degree in MSc By Research in Analytical Chemistry. My Bachelors Degree is in Applied Chemistry. Both qualifications were achieved at the University of Greenwich, which had the 3rd best Chemistry school in the UK at the time. I have been a private tutor since 2000. I have continued to teach in schools from 2004-2006. This includes being the Head of Mathematics and also Head of Science. My teaching philosophy is to engage and make the student(s) interactive in learning, thus as to meet their individual learning needs. I have developed my own initial assessments(IA), diagnostic assessments(DA), individual learning plans (ILPs), schemes of work(SOW), self review and self reflection. I have even on occasions revisited reviews to ensure learners needs are not only highlighted but also administered. This results in achieving higher grades for the learner. I utilise my spare time by attending educational courses so as to develop and nurture my own educational skills. I ensure all basis of communications are covered ie reading, writing, listening, speaking, gesturing etc. I incorporate active Q&A sessions with learners encouraging communication skills and allowing learners to self develop and blossom, especially in characteristics such as self confidence. I encourage and use Internet tools to aid further independent learning and achievements. All the above, results in successfully attaining higher and acceptable grading for the learners. ”

Why choose Dukes Tutoring’s Science tutors?
Our Science tutors possess years of academic experience and unparalleled subject knowledge. As former teachers, deputy heads, subject specialists, and experienced tutors, they bring exceptional classroom and subject knowledge to the table.
In addition, our Science tutoring is designed with ongoing support in mind. We start with an in-depth assessment, meticulously track each student’s progress, and provide continuous guidance every step of the way. We keep parents and, where necessary, teachers informed as to your child’s progress.
At Dukes Tutoring, we know fun learning is often the most efficient type of learning. That’s why, as well as helping your child gain good grades, we seek to ignite their passion for scientific exploration and discovery.
Benefits of Science tutoring
For all students looking to improve their skills, Science tutoring offers many benefits. Here’s why investing in Science tutoring can be so invaluable:
-
Personalised pace
Tutors adjust their explanations to match their tutee’s existing understanding, so concepts that move too fast or too slow in a classroom can be revisited or accelerated as needed.
-
Stronger conceptual foundations
One-on-one lessons allow tutors to address gaps in fundamentals (like the Maths skills underlying Physics or Chemistry) before they compound into bigger struggles later.
-
Improved confidence and reduced anxiety
Students who feel embarrassed asking questions in class often open up more in a low-pressure tutoring setting, which can reduce stress and improve a child’s confidence.
-
Better exam performance
Whether it’s at 13 Plus, GCSE, or A Level, every year we see our students beating their predicted grades after a course of high-quality Science tutoring
-
Cultivating intellectual curiosity
Beyond grades, the right tutor nurtures a child’s scientific interests and passions. These are qualities that come through in personal statements and interviews and help distinguish a candidate well beyond exam results alone.
