“Organelles can be named and not connected to anything they do.”
Cells and transport
Structure tied to function, and the diffusion and osmosis questions that come back every year in a new costume.

Lowest rate anyone charges
The subject with the most to remember and the least to work out, which is exactly why the usual study method fails. Reading it again is not learning it.

What you’ll work on
Five things people say before they book.
One of them is usually the reason. The topic underneath is what a tutor would put the first month into.
/02
“Monohybrid crosses are fine and anything with two traits is not.”
Genetics
Punnett squares, pedigrees and the probability underneath both, which is where genetics quietly becomes a math topic.
/03
“The two processes get revised as unrelated flowcharts.”
Energy in cells
Photosynthesis and respiration as one story about energy moving, rather than two diagrams to memorise separately.
/04
“Explanations say the organism adapted rather than the population changed.”
Evolution and ecology
Natural selection stated precisely, plus the population questions that ask you to apply it rather than define it.
/05
“Long correct answers still lose marks on short questions.”
Answering a labelled diagram
The exam skill: reading a figure you have never seen and writing an answer that scores, in the number of words asked for.
None of them quite it?
Bring the syllabus, the textbook or the last score report to a first lesson. Every Biology tutor here plans against what you actually have, not against a standard course.
How a first lesson is runWho teaches it
Biology, taught by 3 of these 221.
In whichever order you find useful. Thirty minutes with any of them is free, so meeting two before you choose costs nothing but the evening.
What it costs
Priced by level, not by subject.
Tutors set their own rate and Saal adds nothing on top of it. These are the bands they set it inside, the same in every subject, and the lowest anyone charges to teach Biology is $32/hr.
Move or cancel any lesson up to twelve hours ahead at no charge, and the card is charged the morning after a lesson happens. Packages and refunds.

8 lessons a month, at $42 each — a 60-minute lesson against a rate quoted for 50. A ten-lesson pack takes $42 off that.

Thirty free minutes, and this is what they are for.
