Specialist AQA A-Level Biology tuition

We know the 7402 specification line by line.

General science tutors cover biology. Phlo tutors live in the AQA A-Level Biology spec. That means every session is targeted at the exact content and skills the 7402 papers assess, from the first topic to the synoptic essay.

All eight topics of the 7402 specification

Topic 1

Biological molecules

Topic 2

Cells

Topic 3

Organisms exchange substances with their environment

Topic 4

Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms

Topic 5

Energy transfers in and between organisms

Topic 6

Organisms respond to changes in their environments

Topic 7

Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems

Topic 8

The control of gene expression

The 12 required practicals

From the water potential investigation to chromatography and dissection, we cover all twelve required practicals: the variables, the methods and the practical-skills questions that appear in every exam. Roughly 15 percent of your marks test these, so we make them count.

The Paper 3 synoptic essay

The 25-mark essay is where strong students lose easy marks. We train it like a skill: reading the title properly, pulling examples from across the whole spec, structuring against the descriptors and getting marked feedback until you reach the top band.

Exam technique and mark schemes

Knowing the biology is not the same as getting the grade. We drill command words, the wording examiners reward, the six-mark questions and the application questions on unfamiliar contexts, all against real AQA mark schemes and examiner reports.

Why Phlo

Taught by someone who sat the exam and teaches the spec.

Phlo tutors are AQA Biology specialists, results-driven, online and DBS-checked. Right now that is Olivia, the founder, and the bar she sets is the standard every future Phlo tutor has to clear.

FAQ

AQA A-Level Biology tutoring questions.

How do you help with the AQA Paper 3 synoptic essay?

We treat the 25-mark essay as a skill you can train. Your tutor works through past titles, shows how to pull strands from across the whole 7402 specification, plans answers against the mark scheme descriptors and gives marked feedback so you know exactly how to reach the top band.

Do you cover the 12 required practicals?

Yes. All twelve AQA required practicals are covered, including the variables, methods, expected results and the practical-skills questions that come up in every paper. We focus on the exam questions examiners actually ask about them.

Can you tutor AS Biology as well as the full A-Level?

Yes. We tutor both the full A-Level (7402) and the AS (7401). Sessions are matched to your exam and the topics you sit, so AS students are not taught content beyond their papers.

Are sessions online or in person?

Sessions are online, 1:1 and 60 minutes, using a shared whiteboard and past-paper questions. Online means you can work with a true AQA specialist wherever you are in the UK, with flexible times around school.

How much does an AQA A-Level Biology tutor cost?

Tutoring starts from £60 per 60-minute session, and every tutoring student gets Phlo AI included free for practice between lessons. Final pricing is confirmed on your free consultation. See the pricing page for full detail.

What makes Phlo different from a general tutor?

Phlo only does AQA Biology, and teaches the mark scheme rather than the textbook. You get a specialist who knows the 7402 spec, examiner reports and model answers, plus Phlo AI trained on the same material for unlimited practice between sessions.

Tutoring for GCSE instead? See our AQA GCSE Biology tutor page.
