13+ Combined Science tutors
2 of 2 UK tutors teaching Combined Science at 13+.
Combined Science (also called Trilogy at AQA, or Double Award) is the GCSE route most state-school students take — two GCSE grades covering biology, chemistry and physics, with reduced content versus the separate triple sciences. Tutoring helps most with the breadth: students often arrive solid in one science and shaky in another, and the exam papers don't let you specialise. The required practicals carry disproportionate weight in the questions. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR Gateway, OCR 21st Century, CIE) cover similar ground but differ on practical lists and paper structure — match the tutor to the spec the school is teaching.
The 13+ is the entrance test for independent senior schools (those starting at Year 9 rather than Year 7), sat in Year 8 — typically ISEB Common Pre-Test in Year 6/7 followed by Common Entrance or scholarship papers in Year 8. Some senior schools (Eton, Westminster, Winchester, St Paul's, Harrow) use their own papers. Subject coverage is broader than 11+ — English, maths, science as core, plus humanities, languages and often Latin for scholarship candidates. Tutoring helps most with the breadth, with specific past-paper familiarity for the target school, and with the interview preparation that scholarship rounds usually include.
