Welcome to the most comprehensive National 5 Biology learning resource!
I'm Cameron, a university medical student and when I was in high school I realised that there weren't any great comprehensive learning resources that were easy to learn from for Scottish students. So with a few of my smartest university students, we created one.
It can be daunting starting national 5's. So we want to make sure when you open your results, that it has the grades on it that you deserve. So with us, you will find learning National 5 Biology easy.
Taught By An Expert
Being a medical student at Edinburgh University means I know the course content inside out and you know that you are learning from an experienced academic. As a student myself I know the best way to teach the content in a clear way that most importantly - you will easily understand. Because just like you, I was a high school student trying to learn the content.
Clear Understandable Teaching
Learning from textbooks is boring, outdated and simply isn't as effective as learning needs to be - you deserve better. With us, you will learn from high-quality videos teaching all the knowledge in an understandable format that you can watch anytime. It's like having a great in-person lesson where you learn so much, felt involved and didn't get left behind by babbling nonsense - that you can have whenever you need to.
Taught using an overhead camera, as I work I give a running explanation of everything I am doing - making it super interactive and easy to follow along.
The typical lesson starts by teaching you a new concept and relating it to any previous knowledge. Then I will go over some exam examples.
Complete A-Z Of The Official SQA Course Syllabus
Our course follows the official SQA course syllabus, teaching the exact content needed for the National 5 Biology exam. No fluff, no added content you don't need, just exactly what you need to know taught well.
The Most Effective Ways To Learn
For your exam success not only do you need to understand the content but also remember it. Our course is created with the most effective learning techniques proven by science.
Your long-term retention of the knowledge taught is key to exam success, so our online flashcards automatically generate questions for you every day depending on what you need help with. This technique is proven to be the most effective for remembering knowledge over a sustained period. Just 10 minutes a day will dramatically improve your National 5 performance.
Anyone Can Do It
Yes, it is true that some students are just inherently better at retaining the ton of knowledge needed for biology.
However, often students lure themselves into thinking they just can't remember it all, which is probably true with the current techniques they are using - reading notes, highlighting and copying passages are all proven to be terrible ways to remember information. Instead in our course, we use top techniques (like our flashcards and lessons) to make it super simple for you to use top memorisation techniques for all of those pesky facts you have to remember.
It's not the student that sucks, just the studying techniques they are using.
Students across Scotland have found success with our course and we hope you can too!
