Science qualifications in Scotland follow the SQA framework rather than GCSEs. Students in Glasgow typically sit National 5 Biology, Chemistry, or Physics — or a combination — depending on their school's offering and their own interests. Our tutors in Glasgow are experienced with the SQA curriculum and know how these courses are assessed.
National 5 Sciences
Each National 5 science has a question paper and an assignment — a research task completed during the course. Students in Glasgow need to balance learning the course content with developing the scientific literacy skills that the assignment and exam both require. Our tutors help with both, ensuring students can apply knowledge to unfamiliar contexts as well as recall facts.
Preparing for Highers
For students in Glasgow planning to take Higher Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, a strong National 5 foundation is essential. Our tutors help bridge the gap between the two levels, identifying and filling any knowledge gaps before they become problems at Higher level.
Our science tutors in Glasgow offer weekly sessions tailored to the SQA specifications. Contact us to discuss which subjects your child needs support with.
