A steady plan for the GCSE years.

One-to-one maths, English and science lessons at home or online, planned around your child's exam board. Lesson notes, mark schemes and progress reports for parents sit in one place, so each week builds on the last.

Six ways a tutor prepares

  • No.Assess

    Find the gaps first

    The first lesson is a working assessment, not a chat. Your child brings a recent paper or report and the tutor finds where the marks went.

  • No.Match

    Matched by subject and board

    A coordinator pairs your child with a specialist who has taught or marked that specification. If the fit is wrong, tell us and we will change it.

  • No.Plan

    Planned around your exam board

    Lessons follow your child's specification, so nothing is taught off syllabus. The tutor maps the weeks to the papers being sat in May and June.

  • No.Teach

    One-to-one at home or online

    Lessons happen at your kitchen table or on a video call, whichever suits the week. Either way it is one pupil and one tutor for the whole hour.

  • No.Practise

    Past papers under timed conditions

    Some lessons run as a paper, in silence, with the clock on. The following lesson marks it and goes through the questions where marks were left behind.

  • No.Explain

    Mark schemes in plain words

    Exam technique is where capable pupils lose marks. Tutors show the wording examiners want and the working that earns method marks even on a wrong answer.

  • No.Report

    Progress reports for parents

    At the end of each block you get a written report covering what was taught, what the marked papers showed and what the next block will change.

  • No.Cover

    Maths, English and science

    One network of tutors covers the subjects families ask for most, from primary reading through to A-level physics. Households with siblings share a coordinator.

All features

Made for parents and pupils

  • Parents of Year 10 and 11 pupils

    You see the plan and the marked papers, and a report arrives after each block. If a grade sits on a boundary, you will know which paper it hangs on.

    For the exam years

  • Pupils sitting mocks

    The January mocks shape predicted grades, so autumn lessons work backwards from that date. The tutor spends the time on timing and on reading the question properly.

    Before predicted grades

  • Families preparing for 11+

    Entrance papers test speed and unfamiliar formats. Lessons cover reasoning papers alongside the maths and English that the schools expect to see.
