Master Biology — Expert Tutors for Every Level in Singapore
From Secondary (O/N) Biology and Combined Science to IGCSE, JC H1/H2 and IB Biology — our specialised tutors translate complex ideas like cell biology, genetics, physiology and ecology into clear concepts and exam-ready answers.
Why families choose LionCity Tutors for Biology
Biology is both conceptual and practical — success requires strong understanding of biological systems, confident practical skills, and polished exam technique. Our tutors combine subject expertise with proven teaching frameworks to help students build conceptual clarity, practical competence and consistent exam performance.
Curriculum-Aligned Lessons
Lessons map exactly to MOE, Cambridge IGCSE, and IB syllabi so students master what's actually examined.
Practical & IA Support
Hands-on lab coaching, data analysis, and IA guidance (IB) that improves practical marks and scientific methods.
Personalised Lesson Plans
Targets knowledge gaps with diagnostic tests, personalised learning goals and progress tracking each term.
Comprehensive coverage for every exam board and level
We tailor lessons for: Secondary (O & N), Combined Science, IGCSE, JC H1/H2 and IB Biology. Below are highlighted focus areas for each level.
🌱 Secondary Biology (O/N Level & Combined Science)
We build strong foundations — cell structure, movement of substances, biological molecules, nutrition, transport, respiration and plant biology — and emphasise practical skills and common structured-question templates.
- • Cell structure and organelles
- • Diffusion, osmosis, active transport
- • Nutrition & digestion
- • Circulation and respiration basics
- • Plant transport & photosynthesis
- • Infectious disease and immunity
- • Practical training: microscopy, titrations (where relevant)
- • Exam practice: structured answers, keywords & command terms
🌍 IGCSE Biology
IGCSE students get extra emphasis on practical skills, scientific inquiry, and extended-response techniques that are common in Cambridge papers.
- • Classification & biodiversity
- • Biochemical molecules & enzymes
- • Transport & gas exchange
- • Ecology & human impact
- • Practical skills & data analysis
- • Examiner-focused past-paper training
🎓 JC H1/H2 Biology
Advanced coverage in molecular biology, genetics, physiology and biotechnology with a focus on critical thinking, research skills and exam technique for H1 and H2 papers.
- • Gene expression & regulation
- • Cellular respiration & photosynthesis in depth
- • Systems physiology & homeostasis
- • Biotechnology & molecular techniques
- • Data interpretation & extended essays
- • University-readiness & mentorship
🌐 IB Diploma Biology (SL/HL)
IB students receive IA coaching, lab technique refinement and support for higher-order thinking questions that require analysis, evaluation and synthesis.
- • Internal assessment (IA) design & execution
- • HL option topics and in-depth labs
- • Data handling, error analysis & IA write-up
- • Extended essay & research mentoring
How our biology tuition works — the LionCity method
1. Diagnostic & personalised plan
We begin with a short diagnostic assessment to locate knowledge gaps, then build a plan focused on concepts, practicals and exam technique.
2. Concept-first lessons
We prioritise deep understanding before practice — students learn the 'why' behind processes, then practise applying concepts to exam-style questions.
3. Practical mastery & IA support
Hands-on skill-building for school practicals, IB IA support, and lab report writing so students gain both marks and scientific confidence.
Typical lesson structure (60 mins)
- 5–10 min recap & Q&A
- 15–25 min explicit teaching (concepts & worked examples)
- 15–20 min guided practice (past paper or data handling)
- 5–10 min review, actions & resources for self-study
Resources we provide
- Annotated notes & summary sheets
- Exam-style question packs with model answers
- Practical checklists and IA templates (IB)
- Revision timetables and progress reports
Proven outcomes & student success stories
Our matched tutors have helped many local families improve confidence and exam grades through targeted lessons, consistent feedback and exam-focused practice.
"After weekly tuition and focused IA support, my daughter improved across her practical and theory marks. The tutor’s structured feedback made all the difference."
– Mrs Lim, Tampines
"Clear explanations, regular past-paper practice and lab coaching helped my son move from average to distinction in O-Level Biology."
– Mr Tan
Tutor vetting: All tutors are degree-qualified and undergo a background check, demo lesson and vetting of pedagogy before joining our network.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly will my child see improvement?
Improvement depends on starting point and commitment to practice. Many students notice improved understanding within 4–8 lessons; exam-grade improvements usually require sustained tuition & deliberate practice.
Do tutors teach both content and exam technique?
Yes — we teach concept mastery, practical skills, and targeted exam technique including time management, command-term interpretation, and structured answers.
Online vs in-person — which is better?
Both work well. Online tuition is flexible and effective for theory and data practice; in-person may be preferred for hands-on practical coaching. We match based on needs and geography.
How are tutors matched?
We match students with tutors based on syllabus, level, learning style and scheduling. Trial lessons help confirm chemistry and teaching approach before committing.
