Our online A-level biology summer school sessions are here to help.
The sessions are designed to reassure and prepare – whether you’re making the transition from GCSE to A-levels (and we have a blog that may help), or heading towards your exam year and more detailed topics in Year 13.

Summer masterclasses
In this year’s summer masterclass sessions for small groups (£35 per hour session) we’re covering four important areas on four evenings (5:30-6:30pm) in August (see below for timetable).
Email John@wooltontutors.co.uk for a chat about your needs and to book your place.
| Mon 04/08/25 | Genes and protein synthesis (and exam practice) |
| Wed 13/08/25 | Meiosis and mitosis (and exam practice) |
| Wed 20/08/25 | The immune response (and exam practice) |
| Wed 27/08/25 | Biological molecules (and exam practice) |
The sessions are designed around “core” topics, combined with exam technique for application and evaluate questions, so as to be useful for AQA, Edexcel (Salters) and OCR students – where appropriate I will indicate where the exam boards differ in what you need to know and prepare for. The aim is to give you more confidence in your biology studies 🙂
We are also taking booking for the term-time A-level biology masterclass, starting October 2025.
Useful for A-level Biology students about to start Y12 (AS):
- Help getting ready for A-level biology, with a head start on biological molecules, cells, DNA and other topics you’ll meet in the first year of A-level biology.
- Gently make the transition from GCSE to A-level, seeing where the course builds on what you already know.
- Get answers to any questions you might have about the course, or the science itself.
- Top up your maths skills ready for the “maths for biologists” aspect of the A-level course.
- Explore the different types of questions that come up in mocks, class tests and the A-level exams themselves.
- Put A-level biology topics into context, reflecting on the latest research, career ideas, and university prospects.
Useful for A-level biology students entering Year 13 (A2):
- Recap your Year 12/ AS biology learning, with “troubleshooting” on any topics you find challenging.
- Work on areas for improvement following mock exams or class test results.
- Get a head start on Year 13 topics that delve deeper into DNA, genetics and the nervous system.
- Focussing on the assessment outcomes (AO) of the major exam boards.
- Work on specific aspects of the exam, such as “evaluate” questions, “application” questions and exam technique.
- Boost your confidence ahead of the new term.
