The Arlen Online Academy is a bespoke online platform which provides students with access to first class tuition and resources from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Powered by Linkstreet, our platform works on all iOS and Android devices. Each student has access to the Arlen Online app for mobile learning and assessment.
Key Stage 3 (Years 8-9)
Our experienced and qualified Science teachers structure 4-week blocks of lessons around core topics within the KS3 syllabus, providing outstanding foundations in Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSE / IGCSE study.
The course is typically divided so that each of the three Sciences receives 2 hours of tuition and focus during the block. We can gradually introduce students to early stage GCSE / IGCSE material once the fundamentals are secure.

[accordion-item title=”Example 4-Week Lesson Structure”]
We operate a flexible course structure which is moulded around the needs of our student groups. We have active and continuous dialogues with our students about their areas of weakness and uncertainty, using homework and teaching resources to fill gaps in understanding.
Example KS3 Science Course:
Lesson 1 – Biology – Cell Structure
Objective: understanding the differences between plant and animal cells and the structure / function of each their substructures. Group task: online whiteboard illustrations and past paper exercises. Homework: topic questions / RapL learning exercises.
Lesson 2 – Biology – Specialised Cells / Chemistry – Atomic Structure
Objective: understanding the features of specialised animal and plant cells. Introduction to basic atomic structure (protons / neutrons / electrons / isotopes / atomic and mass number). Group task: online whiteboard illustrations and past paper exercises. Homework: topic questions / RapL learning exercises.
Lesson 3 – Chemistry Atomic Structure 2 / Physics – Current & Voltage
Objective: Revising and consolidating basic atomic structure (protons / neutrons / electrons / isotopes / atomic and mass number) and using these to work out basic calculations. Introduction to the difference between current, voltage and their relationship to resistance. Group task: online whiteboard illustrations and past paper exercises. Homework: topic questions / RapL learning exercises.
Lesson 4 – Physics – Electrical Circuits
Objective: How circuits work and the different components within the circuit. Group task: online whiteboard illustrations and past paper exercises. Homework: topic questions / RapL learning exercises.

Arlen Online – powered by Linkstreet
Each student is provided with access to the Arlen Online Academy where the course is structured and the materials for each lesson are stored. Arlen Online is integrated with Zoom; each class is joined from the platform and centrally structured. Within the platform are class materials and also past paper questions to assist with self-learning. Teaching takes place in small groups of up to 5 students.

Online Whiteboard – powered by BitPaper
During the classes, an online whiteboard is shared with students which has all materials uploaded onto it. The tutor is able to annotate the whiteboard remotely via an iPad connection. At the end of each class the whiteboard is uploaded to the platform so no notes are ever lost.

Introduction
Each block of lessons is structured around a 4 week timetable, based on 1.5hrs of tuition per week with homework and self-study. We plan each block of lessons in accordance with the needs of the particular group, structuring sessions to cover topics to address areas of weakness. We always incorporate requests from students to work on particular topics which they find challenging. Homework is set according to each pupil’s needs and submitted via Arlen Online.

Homework / Reporting
Our tutors set homework to consolidate the topic being taught during the session. This is usually a set of past paper questions in line with our focus on improving exam technique. At the end of each block of lessons, the tutors will share a short report with the students with advice on how to improve further.

Arlen Mobile App – powered by RapL
All students have access to the Arlen mobile app. Tutors set short sets of questions via the app which the students complete on their mobile devices. RapL identifies individual knowledge gap and uses spaced repetition of scenarios in weak areas until the student has mastered the topic.

[accordion-item title=”Homework & Progress Tracking”]
Arlen Online provides students with access to 1,000s of past paper questions as well as a full suite of past examination papers. Our tuition team will set assessments and targets for our students to complete in order to progress and track their learning. This is managed by a tutor, not a computer, so we are able to provide bespoke recommendations and advice, not generic, computer generated, “one-size-fits-all” suggestions.
Our online quizzes, run through RapL & Educake, feed into our platform and allow tutors to track understanding and progress. These are short assessments written in line with the syllabus and provide students with the chance to quickly practice and test their understanding of specific topics within the programme.
