Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Core and Extended? expand_more
Core curriculum covers the basic knowledge and skills, allowing for grades C to G. Extended includes the Core plus supplement material, allowing for grades A* to G. We recommend Extended for students aiming for science-related careers.
Do you cover practical papers (Paper 5/6)? expand_more
Yes, absolutely. We have specific modules for the Alternative to Practical (Paper 6) and can guide students taking the Practical Test (Paper 5) on experimental design and technique.
How do I know if my child needs help? expand_more
Common signs include struggling to finish papers on time, losing marks on calculation questions despite knowing the formula, or getting 'stuck' on structured theory questions. Our Diagnostic Test can pinpoint these issues precisely.
Are the classes online or in-person? expand_more
We offer both formats. Our online classes use interactive whiteboards and digital quizzes to ensure high engagement, mirroring the effectiveness of our physical classrooms.
