Boph teaches you the topics you're weak on like a tutor, then marks your answers like an examiner — method and accuracy, showing exactly where you'd drop marks. Both run off a live map of everything you know. Biology's live now; the sciences are next.

Most students pour hours into the 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.
Re-reading notes you already know feels productive. The marks you're losing are hiding in the topics you avoid.
Flashcard apps tick the final answer. The examiner gives marks for method — and that's exactly where students leak them.
No plan, no spacing, and suddenly the exam's in a week and half the spec is untouched. Managing the time is its own subject.
Everything Boph does runs off a single live model of what you know — updated every time you answer.
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. The home screen is your knowledge.
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.
Exam-style questions marked on method and accuracy against the real mark scheme — with the exact line where a mark leaked, and how to fix it.
Weak points come back at widening intervals until they stick. You never have to decide what needs another look — Boph already scheduled it.
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 for you.
The difference isn't more content. It teaches like a tutor and marks like an examiner — and remembers everything you can and can't do.

A private tutor costs £40+ an hour and you take the progress on trust. Boph sends you the receipts.
Written in plain English: what they actually did, what's improving, what's being avoided. No dashboards to decode.
Every mark is against the AQA mark scheme, not a chatbot's guess. The feedback your child gets is the feedback an examiner would.
Based on what they've actually proven they can do — framed as a perspective, not a promise. You see the gap and the plan to close it.
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.
No spam. One email when Biology opens.
AQA GCSE Biology to start — both the 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.
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.
No. Boph is built around a live model of what you specifically know, and it 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.
Free during early access. When it launches, it'll sit well below the price of a single private lesson per month — the comparison most parents already make.
Join the list and you'll get one email the moment Biology opens to early-access students.
