From astronauts to zoologists, biology opens doors to a surprisingly wide range of careers. The secret to unlocking the science of the natural world? Practice, practice, practice – plus a little bit of passion.

It’s all elementary

Biology is the study of life and living organisms. From flora and fauna to the workings of the body, evolution and ecology, it’s a diverse and dynamic subject. And with nine branches that often intersect, a background in biology is a gateway to a career in the natural sciences.

Our private biology tutors all have degrees in the sciences, are experts on the environment and are firm advocates for the natural world. It’s this belief that helps bring biology to life for our students – and as we face an increasingly uncertain future, a solid understanding of the forces around us is more important than ever.

We work with all ages, from primary to post-graduate, and are experienced across exam boards. Covering the core biology curriculum, we support students through research to fieldwork and analysis. Focusing on technical skills such as time management, exam preparation and how to avoid common test pitfalls, we take a holistic approach that draws on all three sciences.

Our philosophy

Taking inspiration – and our name – from an ancient symbol of knowledge, we want Figtree to embody both the wisdom of experience and the power of continual growth.

We understand that by choosing Figtree as your tutoring agency, you’re putting your trust and your child’s future – or your future – in our hands. And that’s not a responsibility we take lightly. That’s why we’re always ready to go the extra mile – whether that’s checking-in outside hours, providing a unique support network for our tutors to tap into, or simply offering a listening ear when you need us.
