How we teach

Learn it. Retrieve it. Apply it.

Evidence-informed science tuition combining structured teaching, retrieval practice, exam-question practice and regular feedback.

The method

The Science Sorted method.

Five stages that turn understanding into marks.

Step 01

Structured teaching

We follow a carefully organised programme aligned to the AQA and OCR specifications. New content is taught clearly, logically and with a strong focus on what students need for their exams.

Step 02

Retrieval practice

Professionally designed retrieval questions revisit previous learning regularly, helping students strengthen recall and retain important knowledge over time.

Step 03

Exam-question practice

Students apply what they have learned to exam-style questions, developing the technique needed to turn knowledge into marks.

Step 04

Testing & feedback

Regular assessments identify strengths and gaps. Students receive clear teacher feedback so they know exactly what to improve next.

Step 05

Accountability & organisation

Regular reminders and check-ins help students keep on top of lessons, homework, revision and assigned practice throughout the course.

Why it works

Built on how students actually learn.

Retrieval, not just rereading

Students regularly recall previously learned material rather than simply reviewing it passively.

Practice over time

Important knowledge is revisited throughout the course instead of being taught once and forgotten.

Frequent application

Exam questions are integrated into teaching so students learn how to use their knowledge under exam conditions.

Feedback that directs improvement

Testing and teacher feedback help students understand what they know, what they don’t and what to work on next.

Organisation

We don’t just teach the lesson and disappear.

Students receive regular reminders, assigned tasks and check-ins to help them stay organised and keep moving through the programme.

Clear weekly tasks

Students know what they need to complete between lessons.

Regular reminders

We help students stay on top of assigned work.

Progress check-ins

Performance is monitored so gaps can be identified early.
