Question 1

What subjects and levels do you tutor?

Accepted Answer

We provide one-to-one online tutoring from KS2 right through to KS5+, covering every major exam board. Whether your child needs help building core foundations, preparing for GCSEs, or working towards A-Levels, we match them with a tutor suited to their subject and level. Our lessons are always one-to-one, never shared classes, so your child gets focused attention on the areas they find most challenging. If you're unsure which level or subject support is right, our free consultation is a good place to start.

Question 2

How long has Science Clinic been tutoring students?

Accepted Answer

We've been supporting UK students since 2017, so we've had years to refine how we match tutors to families. In that time, we've built up a strong track record, and we're currently rated 4.9 from 328 reviews. That consistency comes from keeping our approach simple: UK-qualified teachers, one-to-one lessons, and a genuine focus on what each student needs. We think that experience shows in the results our students achieve and the feedback we receive from parents.

Question 3

How does your pricing and tutor matching work?

Accepted Answer

We start every enquiry with a free consultation rather than pushing you into a fixed package straight away. This lets us understand your child's needs, current level, and goals before recommending the right tutor and amount of support. You'll have a clear picture of what's involved before committing to anything, so there are no surprises along the way. If you'd like to know more about how this works for your family, get in touch and we'll talk you through it.

Question 4

Do you tutor students anywhere in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because all of our lessons are delivered online, we work with families across the whole of the UK, not just one local area. Your child can have one-to-one lessons with a UK-qualified tutor from home, at a time that suits your schedule, regardless of where you're based. This also means we can match you with a tutor who genuinely suits your child's subject and exam board, rather than being limited to who happens to be nearby.

Question 5

Are your tutors qualified teachers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every tutor we work with is UK-qualified and teaches on a one-to-one basis only. We don't use unqualified staff or group teaching formats, because we believe personalised, expert-led support gets better results. Each tutor is also matched to cover the specific exam board your child is studying, so lessons stay relevant to what they're actually being assessed on. This focus on qualified, dedicated teaching is central to how we work with every family.

Question 6

What happens after I book a free consultation?

Accepted Answer

Once you book your free consultation, we'll talk through your child's subject, level, and any specific challenges they're facing. From there, we recommend a tutor who fits those needs and explain what ongoing lessons would look like. There's no pressure to commit on the spot; it's simply a conversation to help you make an informed decision. Many parents find this step reassuring, as it means the tutor is chosen deliberately rather than assigned at random.

Question 7

Why choose Science Clinic over other tutoring options?

Accepted Answer

We focus exclusively on one-to-one online lessons with UK-qualified teachers, rather than mixing in group classes or less experienced tutors. Every student is matched individually, we cover all exam boards from KS2 to KS5+, and we back lessons up with a substantial resource library for independent study between sessions. Combined with a 4.9 rating from 328 reviews, this gives families a clear, considered option built around genuine subject expertise rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Question 8

Can I request a specific exam board for my child?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we cover all exam boards, so we can match your child with a tutor who's familiar with the specific syllabus they're being taught and assessed on. This matters because exam technique and content can vary noticeably between boards, and we want lessons to feel directly relevant to what your child will face. During your free consultation, just let us know the exam board and we'll factor that into which tutor we recommend.

Question 9

Is there support for studying outside of lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, alongside one-to-one lessons, we give students access to a large resource library to support independent study between sessions. This helps reinforce what's covered in lessons and gives your child extra material to practise with at their own pace. It's designed to complement the tutoring rather than replace it, so students get consistent support whether they're in a session or working on their own. Ask about this during your consultation to see how it fits your child's routine.

Question 10

How do I get started with a tutor?

Accepted Answer

Getting started is simple: book a free consultation and we'll talk through your child's needs, current level, and what you're hoping to achieve. From there, we recommend a suitable UK-qualified tutor and explain how lessons would work going forward. There's no obligation attached to the consultation itself, so it's a low-pressure way to see whether we're the right fit for your family before you commit to anything further.
