Question 1

Who are Group Lessons for?

Accepted Answer

Students studying OCR / AQA A-Level Chemistry or students studying AQA A-Level Biology who want:

Clear explanations without overload
Examiner insight into what actually gains marks
Structured biweekly live teaching rather than self-teaching from videos

This is ideal for students who feel overwhelmed by content but want calm, focused guidance.

Question 2

How are these Groups different from typical group tutoring?

Accepted Answer

This is not a generic group lesson and not a video-heavy course.

Teaching is live and responsive
Sessions follow a learn → apply → learn → apply model
Resources are concise, exam-focused, and purposeful
Everything is created and taught by an examiner (me!)

There is no outsourcing and no filler content.

Question 3

How does the teaching work week to week?

Accepted Answer

A typical structure looks like:

Live teaching session (1 hour and 15 mins) every week: explanation, questioning, clarification
A separate live 30 min clinic where students can ask me anything on the subject
Supporting resources released inside the Vault
Students use resources flexibly between sessions

Question 4

Do I need to watch videos before lessons?

Accepted Answer

No. Live lessons are the core of the programme.

Question 5

Which resources do I get access to?

Accepted Answer

Inside the Vault, students receive:

Concise downloadable notes (released as topics are taught)
Recall booklets where appropriate
Recordings of live lessons

The Vault acts as a resource library, not the main teaching method.

Question 6

Is there homework?

Accepted Answer

There is no compulsory homework, however optional tasks may be set that you can submit and I will personally mark and return.

Students are encouraged to engage with the resources at their own pace, using them to reinforce learning from live sessions rather than feeling pressured by set tasks.

Question 7

Who teaches the sessions?

Accepted Answer

All teaching and resources are delivered by me. Nothing is outsourced.

Question 8

How long does membership last?

Accepted Answer

Membership runs until the end of April.

Question 9

What if I miss a live lesson?

Accepted Answer

All live sessions are recorded and uploaded to the Vault. You can watch back at any time alongside the supporting resources.

Question 10

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

£100 per month. One clear fee for all students. This price is locked for the duration of your membership. If you join part way through the course you will get access to all previous material.

Question 11

Can I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel at any time. Access continues until the end of your paid month, after which all content access ends.
