Biology, Chemistry and Physics topics a tutor can cover
Strong GCSE Triple Science tutoring should feel specific to the sciences, not just to tutoring in general. The exact topic list depends on the exam board, but a tutor’s diagnostic should normally separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics so that revision does not become a vague pile of “science”.
This topic map is not a full specification. It is a practical guide to the kinds of areas parents can mention when enquiring and students can use for a confidence checklist.
- Biology
- Cells, organisation, infection and response, bioenergetics, homeostasis, inheritance, variation, evolution and ecology. Common tutor work includes processes, required-practical questions, data handling and longer explanations.
- Chemistry
- Atomic structure, bonding, quantitative chemistry, chemical changes, energetics, rates, organic chemistry, chemical analysis, the atmosphere and resources. Common tutor work includes calculations, reactions, terminology and abstract models.
- Physics
- Energy, electricity, particle model, atomic structure, forces, waves, magnetism and electromagnetism, and space physics where included. Common tutor work includes equations, units, graphs, diagrams and multi-step problem solving.
