Is your child working hard but not seeing the grades?
It is rarely about ability. Most students who struggle in science have a few gaps in understanding and have never been taught how examiners actually mark.
I work one-to-one with KS3, GCSE, iGCSE and A-Level Biology students, including those who find science tricky or intimidating. We find the gaps, fix them step by step, and practise the exam questions that make the biggest difference.
Lessons are online, relaxed and structured, and full of those “Oh, I get it now!” moments

Meet Alliyah
Hi, I’m Alliyah, founder of The Science Hummingbird.
I have taught science for more than 30 years, in UK and international schools, including as Head of Science.
In that time I have learned one thing above all: success in science isn’t about being “naturally clever”. It comes from clear explanations, good exam technique and someone who believes in you.
I started The Science Hummingbird to keep helping students beyond the classroom. Every lesson, revision guide and worksheet I create draws on three decades of seeing what genuinely works.
My mission is simple: to make science engaging, accessible and enjoyable, so every student discovers they can succeed.
Thanks for visiting!
Alliyah, QTS, former Head of Science
