How we teach 9700
Concepts are explained with clear diagrams first, then the calculations, then the exact wording the mark scheme accepts.
Practical and data-handling questions are practised every week, because they carry marks that many students drop.
Long-answer questions are planned in class so your child writes complete, mark-earning explanations.
Where students usually lose marks
- Calculations with units and significant figures
- Practical and experimental skills questions
- Explaining in precise key terms
- Linking ideas across topics
“Full past papers, marked properly, with every mistake explained. His confidence in Maths and Physics went up a lot before the exams.”

Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current Cambridge International AS & A Level Biology syllabus?

Which route or tier should my child take?
The options are: AS Level only, A Level over two years, or A Level in one series. After the free demo we look at your child’s work and the target grade, and suggest the right one with the school.
Can you help close to the exam?
Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
