My son had Year 12 Biology tutoring with Isali, who was knowledgeable, personable, and professional. She really helped my son understand key concepts and processes much more clearly.

Our first tutor wasn’t the right fit, but our coordinator Heath was amazing. He listened, took action and found the perfect match. Allen, her Human Biology tutor, was fantastic and my daughter felt supported right up to her exams.

I go to maths and biology tuition at Tutero, and both are great! I was specifically after IB tuitions and Tutero was able to offer want I was after. Both my teachers are super approachable and friendly!

My son’s grades have gone up 30% since starting with Tutero 6 months ago. As he is shy in class, having 1:1 tutoring has helped him clarify a lot of core concepts and now he is much better equipped for HSC.

Three things parents ask before they book
Straight answers from 310,000+ lessons.
center 38%
center 34%
center 34%
center 32%Live 1-on-1 lessonsWhy does biology get harder in 11th grade?
The questions change shape. Junior science rewards knowing the facts. Senior biology papers give students an unfamiliar experiment or a graph of enzyme activity and ask them to explain it with exact terms. Students who revised by rereading notes can define osmosis but lose points applying it. That skill improves with practice on real questions.
What does the first lesson cover?
Their current unit, tested live. The tutor opens whatever the class is studying, say photosynthesis or genetics, and asks the student to explain a process and sketch it on the whiteboard. Then they try one past exam question with data. That shows whether the gap is content, terminology or analysis, and the report and learning plan follow that evening.
When will biology grades lift?
Usually at the next test. 98% of students report more confidence. In biology the first points to move are often short answers and data questions, since those are practiced with the tutor every week. A semester of weekly lessons gives a fair read, then the account manager reviews progress with you.

Common questions
Price, courses, exams and how to get started with a biology tutor.
Find a biology tutor
How much does a biology tutor cost?
Private 1-on-1 biology tutoring is one rate at every grade level, the same in 9th grade as in 12th grade. No contracts, no sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson. Tell us the grade level and we will send a quote.
The hourly rate covers matching with a biology tutor, a dedicated account manager and a written report after every lesson in the parent app.
What does a biology tutor cover in Grades 9 to 12?
In 9th and 10th grade, tutors follow the student's state life science standards: cells, body systems and homeostasis, then DNA, inheritance and evolution.
In 11th and 12th grade they teach the student's own course: Biology, Honors Biology, AP Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, or IB Biology SL and HL. For elementary school science, Tutero has a separate science tutoring page.
Is online biology tutoring effective?
Biology suits a live online lesson well. The tutor and student share an interactive whiteboard, so they can label a cell, draw the stages of mitosis, build a pedigree chart or annotate an exam graph together, and the student keeps the same tutor each week.
98% of students report more confidence. Lessons are planned around the student's current unit and upcoming assessments, so the practice lines up with what their school will test.
How is a biology tutor matched to my child?
After a short quiz, an account manager calls to learn your child's grade level, course, upcoming tests and how they like to learn. A tutor who knows that course is chosen from the top 2% of people who apply to tutor with Tutero.
A 12th grader taking AP Biology gets a tutor who knows that course, not a general science tutor. If the fit is not right, changing tutor is free.
Can a tutor help with AP, IB or state biology exams?
Yes. Tutors work through past exam questions, free-response questions and the data analysis questions that carry heavy points in high school biology. They also help with lab reports, science fair projects and the IB internal assessment.
Before exam blocks, the tutor builds a revision plan by topic, so the student knows which areas to revisit first and can practice writing answers under time pressure.
Who are Tutero's biology tutors?
Tutero accepts the top 2% of tutor applicants. Biology tutors are matched on the course they know, so a student preparing for AP Biology works with someone who has studied that material closely.
Every tutor writes a report after each lesson, so parents can see what was covered, what went well and what comes next. Tutor profiles are on the Our Tutors page.
Where is Tutero's biology tutoring available?
Everywhere in the United States, because every lesson is online. A student in a small town has the same tutors to choose from as a student in a big city, with lessons on weekdays, evenings and weekends.
There are dedicated pages for tutoring in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, New York and Dallas, and for Florida, Texas, California, New York and Virginia.
How do we start with a biology tutor?
Submit a request and the team will call to understand your child's course and goals, then match them with a biology tutor for their grade level and state.
You pay after each lesson, there are no contracts, and you can stop any time.
