Biology Tutoring for Years 11 and 12
Biology looks like a memorisation subject until Year 12, when it stops being one. Biology tutoring in Australia should prepare students for that shift before it arrives.
Flexible Session Times
Biology support scheduled around school nationwide, with additional availability ahead of SACs, internal assessments, fieldwork and final examinations.
Simple Australian Pricing
Rates billed in AUD, no enrolment fee and no lock-in contract. Biology and chemistry run comfortably off one plan, which is how most students aiming at health courses end up working.
Explanation Over Recall
Top marks in senior biology are awarded for explaining and linking processes, not for listing them. So we work on the reasoning rather than handing over yet another glossary.
Senior Biology
Across Every State Certificate
Covering senior biology under VCE Units 1 to 4, HSC Biology in New South Wales, QCE Biology in Queensland, and the WACE, SACE, TCE and NTCET equivalents.
Cells & Biological Systems
Cell structure and function, transport, photosynthesis and respiration, and the body systems that senior units build on.
Genetics & Molecular Biology
Inheritance, DNA structure, protein synthesis, biotechnology and the molecular content that dominates Year 12.
Evolution, Ecology & Immunity
Natural selection, speciation, ecological relationships and the immune response assessed in senior units.
Year 12 Biology Is Not a Memorisation Course
Top marks are awarded for explaining mechanisms and linking processes together, which catches out students who did well in Year 11 through recall alone.
Your Child’s Biology Roadmap, Year by Year
Our online biology tutoring prepares students for the shift from describing to explaining that defines Year 12 biology.
Year 10 Foundations
Cells, genetics, evolution and body systems within general science. The vocabulary and basic cell biology built here support everything in the senior units.
- Cells & body systems
- Genetics & evolution basics
Year 11, Units 1 & 2
Cell structure and function, organism systems and ecology, taught largely descriptively. A good memory is generally enough to do well across these units.
- Cell structure & function
- Ecology & organism systems
Year 12, Units 3 & 4
Molecular biology, protein synthesis, immunity and evolutionary change, with internal assessment alongside the final external examination.
- Molecular genetics & immunity
- Evolutionary change
ATAR & University
Senior biology is expected for nursing, health sciences, biomedical science and many life science degrees, and the result is scaled before contributing to the ATAR.
- Health science prerequisites
- Data interpretation technique
Biology Tutors Matched to Your State Certificate
Our biology tutors hold degrees in biology or a related life science and are matched to the senior certificate your child is enrolled in. A current Working with Children Check is held by every tutor we assign.
- Current Working with Children Check
- Degree-qualified in biology or a life science
- Matched to VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE or SACE biology
Biology Lesson Plans For Each Year
Week-by-week biology lesson plans drawn from our Australian Curriculum science plans, for Year 1 and Years 3 to 10. Year 2 science has no biological sciences unit.
