For private tutors
Teaching resources for GCSE science tutors.
If you tutor GCSE science, the tutor licence lets you teach from every Step-Up Science topic pack in your own sessions: spec-mapped, editable, and ready for Foundation and Higher students.

One session, fully prepared
- Before: pick the spec point, then open the deck and lab.
- During: teach from the animated slides and run the lab together.
- Between: set workbook pages and videos as homework.
- Check: use the Foundation or Higher test and update the checklist.
Every pack, in the format you teach from
Each topic pack comes in versions built for teaching: editable, printable and usable offline.
Editable PowerPoint decks
Animated slides you can adapt to each student, with the full teaching sequence.
Interactive labs, online and offline
Run them in the browser, or download the single-file versions that work without internet.
Spec coverage matrix
Every spec point mapped to the resources that teach and test it.
Workbook with mark scheme
Practice questions to set in sessions or as homework.
Foundation and Higher tests
End-of-topic papers at both tiers, each with a mark scheme.
Narrated videos and checklists
Captioned videos for students to rewatch, and graded checklists to track confidence.
Find any spec point in seconds
Look up any spec reference and see straight away which course it belongs to and where it’s taught. Separate-science content is marked, so you never teach a Trilogy student the wrong thing.

Give each student their own login
Students work through videos, labs and workbooks between sessions. You see who has done what before they arrive, so every session starts in the right place.
