Biology GCSE Summer Revision Course – Online

Course Information

Course Description

Our two-day online GCSE Biology refresher course is designed to give students a thorough recap as they prepare to join Year 11.

This course will focus on everything covered in Year 10, using the AQA specification as a guideline. However, students studying for different exam boards can still participate as the aim of the course is to focus on refreshing content, not prepare for exams. During the two-day course, students will revisit key topics in GCSE Biology, strengthening their knowledge and identifying and polishing any weaker areas along the way.

In addition to these online classes, students will receive a selection of our tailor-made revision materials to support them during and after the course. Professionally printed and bound, these high-quality resources are designed to make course content as digestible as possible.

Helping to develop the confidence and skills to succeed, our refresher courses are an excellent way to prepare students for the final year of their GCSEs.

Suitable for:

  • Students entering year 11
  • Students looking to review year 10 subject knowledge, ready to go back to school
  • Students entering year 10
  • Foundation tier students

If you need help deciding if you will benefit from this course you can contact us. Alternatively, you may prefer to book 1-2-1 tuition instead.

How do your online GCSE Biology revision courses work?

Our online revision courses take place within Google Classroom, keeping everything organised in one convenient hub. From here, you’ll be able to access our bespoke course resources and join the live lessons which take place on Google Meet.

Students can interact with the teacher using their microphone or the chat feature.

All sessions are recorded. The lesson recordings are uploaded after each day, allowing you to watch them back for a recap whenever you like.

When will I receive the Google Classroom link for my online revision course?

You should receive your Google Classroom link via email the day before your course starts. Sometimes these emails go to the junk folder so check there before contacting us if you haven’t received it.

When will I receive my revision course handouts?

You will receive physical copies of the handouts 3-5 days before the start of your course, as long as you book with us before the printing deadline. You can find the printing deadline in the course summary box on each booking page.

Please note: we can only send printed handouts to students in the UK.

What if my exam board isn’t listed?

If you can’t see your exam board then we are afraid we aren’t running a course for it. However, this doesn’t mean that one of our courses won’t be useful for you. Contact us to see which course is more closely aligned with your exam board.
