A-level Biology – LearnOnline Live course covers the following topics:
While there are no formal requirements to study A-level Biology with LearnOnline Live, we recommend that you have completed an appropriate GCSE/IGCSE Biology or Science course prior to your study and have a strong grasp of English and Maths.
If you feel you need to up-skill before enrolling onto A-level, take a look at our IGCSE courses available.
As part of your A-level course you will be required to complete regular homework assessments.
While your homework does not count towards your final grade, it is used to monitor your progress, ability, and to enable your teacher to support your learning and ensure you are prepared for the exams.
All homework assignments have been designed to prepare you for your examinations, and questions are based on examination style questions.
Your homework assignments have been designed to match a specific live session, so it is easy to go back and revisit the relevant lesson if you get stuck.
The most important part of your A-level course (apart from you) is your dedicated teacher.
All our teachers have extensive academic experience and have taught in the classroom as well as online.
You will be assigned a course teacher when you enrol on your course who will support you for the duration of your studies.
You can contact your teacher via email or messaging with any questions.
24 months of tutor support is included with this course.
