Study for your GCSEs/iGCSEs at home
supported by your own tutor
Home Schooling (or Elective Home Education to use the current buzz-word) is becoming much more common and there are plenty of resources, online courses, and tutors available for subjects like Maths and English, but very few for the Science subjects.
We have found (and experienced for our own children) some online content presented as self-led powerpoints and the occasional online quiz, but that just does not work for Science. Instead, we offer a fully-supported, interactive tutor-led experience, we send you the equipment you need to do selected science practicals at home, we work through the necessary course-work with you, and we believe we give you the best possible opportunity to get great results in your externally-sat iGCSE/GSCE exams.

Why are we
Different?
We believe our unique “3-pillars” approach combines the theory you need with tutor-led encouragement and help for when you get stuck, and access to the more “fun” parts of Science practicals usually missed by home-schooled pupils – via video presentation and hands-on STEM experimentation boxes which are delivered to your door and form an integral part of the course.
These three pillars combine to give you the very best chance of achieving the best possible results in your Science GCSE/iGCSE exams.
Rather than just a set of online powerpoint slides (as provided by some of our competitors), our instructional materials are interactive, using rich multi-media. They are combined with on-screen quizzes, subject end tests, links to external “further information” sources, video snippets for you to watch in your own time, and much more.
You will be able to download pdfs of the key information in each subject as well as revision tips, sample exam papers and so on.
As you go through the course, your prpgress will be monitored and a record is kept of your scores in the various online quizzes, tests and exams, together with feedback and encouragement from your Tutor.
Every student is allocated a tutor who will help guide you through the contents of the course, carry-out one-to-one termly video calls with you (e.g. to discuss coursework or special projects which form part of your studies) and mark your work. They are also there to answer any questions you have about the course contents or exam preparation.
You will be able to contact your Tutor via our online platform and can expect a response within a day. In some cases you will not be able to move onto the next subject until your Tutor is happy you have full understanding of the previous one.
Our Tutors are friendly, approachable, experts in their field, who will encourage you to do your very best (and they are all DBS checked)
In association with our partners, Stem Kits by Post.com, we will send students a number of experiment-at-home practical boxes at regular intervals throughout your course.
These boxes contain everything you need to carry-out some of the practicals which you are expected to be able to answer questions on in your exams. This practical experience supplements the theoretical parts of your course and this approach is unique to School for Students.
Some of our Stem Kits are accompanied by live (or recorded) video lessons so you can work in parallel with the Tutor.
The types of Stem Kit which are sent out differ according to the course. Please refer to the appropriate course details page for more information.
