Specialist AQA A-Level Biology (7402) tuition with AIIMS-trained faculty. Live small-batch classes built around the exact AQA assessment model — three 2-hour papers, the 12 required practicals, and the Paper 3 synoptic essay that decides A* grades. Open to students anywhere in the world.

Questions can draw on the whole specification (topics 1–8), with a strong focus on critical analysis of experimental data — plus one 25-mark synoptic essay. This essay is where many students lose A* grades.
Exam series: Linear — all three papers in the May/June series at the end of Year 13.
Practical Endorsement (Pass / Not classified)
12 required practicals across the two years, teacher-assessed against the Common Practical Assessment Criteria. The endorsement is reported separately from the A-level grade — but at least 15% of the written-exam marks assess practical knowledge, so it is never optional in our teaching.
Which board is this for? Most UK state and independent schools, plus many British international schools, enter AQA. If your school says "7402", this is your page.

A short live session to gauge your level and map a paper-by-paper plan. Open to students in any country — share your phone number with country code.
The 25-mark essay rewards breadth and synoptic linking across topics 1–8, not just one chapter. We teach a planning framework, build a bank of high-scoring linking themes (e.g. transport, control, ATP), and mark practice essays against the real AQA mark scheme so students learn exactly how the bands are awarded.
Yes. We coach the underlying technique, the variables, and — crucially — the exam questions AQA asks about each required practical, because at least 15% of written marks test practical understanding. School handles the endorsement sign-off; we make sure the exam marks follow.
