Personal tutor + marker · GCSE

Your personal tutor. And your personal marker.

Boph teaches the topics you're weak on like a tutor, then marks your answers like an examiner — method and accuracy, showing the exact mark you'd drop. Because there's more to an exam than understanding: you have to remember it and answer for the marks. Biology's live now; the sciences are next.

Boph knows you're shaky on osmosis and haven't touched homeostasis — so that's what it asks you next.
The problem

Revising hard isn't the same as revising right.

Most students pour hours into topics they already feel okay about, dodge the ones they don't, and never find out if their answers would actually score. Effort isn't the gap. Aim is.

i

You revise what's comfy

Re-reading notes you already know feels productive. The marks you're losing hide in the topics you avoid.

ii

Nothing marks your working

Flashcard apps tick the final answer. The examiner gives marks for method — and that's exactly where students leak them.

iii

Time runs out

No plan, no spacing, then the exam's in a week and half the spec is untouched. Managing the time is its own subject.

How it works

One loop. It just keeps closing your gaps.

Everything Boph does runs off a single live model of what you know — updated every time you answer.

1
Map

See the whole spec, coloured by you

Every AQA Biology spec point as a map — green where you're secure, amber where you're shaky, blank where you've never been tested. Your home screen is your knowledge.

2
Learn

Get taught the gaps, tailored

A walkthrough that skips what you've nailed and lingers where you're weak. Say "still fuzzy" and it re-explains from another angle — like a tutor reading your face.

3
Test

Marked like an examiner

Exam-style questions marked on method and accuracy against the real mark scheme — with the exact line where a mark leaked, and the full-marks phrasing to memorise.

4
Remember

Beat the forgetting curve

Weak points come back at widening intervals until they stick. You never decide what needs another look — Boph already scheduled it.

5
Plan

Every session, built to your exam date

Boph turns what's weak and what's due into a day-by-day plan that fits the time you've got. Time management, handled.

Why Boph

Not another revision app. A tutor and a marker that know you.

The difference isn't more content — it teaches like a tutor, marks like an examiner, and remembers everything you can and can't do.

You'll actually see it working.

A private tutor costs £40+ an hour and you take the progress on trust. Boph sends you the receipts.

On current coverage, tracking grade 7 — the gap to an 8 is two topics in B5. Boph has them booked for next week.
  • A report every week

    Plain English: what they actually did, what's improving, what's being avoided. No dashboards to decode.

  • Marked to the real spec

    Every mark is against the AQA mark scheme, not a chatbot's guess. The feedback your child gets is the feedback an examiner would.

  • An honest predicted grade

    Based on what they've actually proven they can do — a perspective, not a promise. You see the gap and the plan to close it.

AQA GCSE Biology · 8461 & Combined Science 8464
Boph's core isn't content — it's the spec itself, broken into every learning objective, with a live confidence score per objective, per student. Two students using Boph have genuinely different experiences. That's what a great tutor gives you, and no app has.

Boph is opening to a first group of AQA GCSE Biology students. Free during early access — get your spot.

Questions

The honest answers

Which exam board and subject?

AQA GCSE Biology to start — both separate Biology (8461) and the Biology content in Combined Science: Trilogy (8464), Higher and Foundation. Chemistry and Physics follow, which together cover all of Combined Science.

Is the marking actually accurate?

Questions are marked against the real AQA mark scheme, split into method and accuracy marks. We're holding marking to an examiner-level standard before we open up — it's the one thing the product can't get wrong.

Does it just give answers like ChatGPT?

No. Boph runs off a live model of what you specifically know, and drives you through learning, testing and spaced review. It's not a chat box you have to know what to ask — it already knows what to ask you.

What will it cost?

Free during early access. At launch it'll sit well below the price of a single private lesson a month — the comparison most parents already make.

When can I use it?

Join the list and you'll get one email the moment Biology opens to early-access students.
