Science Tuition at Qalm Academy
At Qalm Academy, we make science clear, engaging and confidence-building. Our approach focuses on helping students truly understand scientific concepts rather than simply memorising facts. Through structured lessons, patient teaching and small class sizes, we support learners at every stage of their academic journey.
Whether your child is building their foundations in science or preparing for iGCSE exams, our programme is designed to develop curiosity, accuracy and exam confidence.
Subjects Covered
Our Science curriculum follows the National Curriculum and includes full preparation for iGCSE:
- Biology – Living organisms, human biology, ecosystems, cells and genetics
- Chemistry – Elements, reactions, acids and alkalis, bonding and equations
- Physics – Forces, energy, electricity, motion and waves
- iGCSE Science Preparation – Exam technique, past paper practice and revision strategies
Students are taught how to apply their knowledge, not just recall it.
