Content covered, marks still missing
Answers that would satisfy a teacher often miss the command word or the mark-scheme phrasing. We teach how questions are marked, not just what the answer is.
GCSE tuition
GCSE tuition matched to the specification
GCSE grades depend as much on exam technique as on subject knowledge. We match students with tutors who teach their exact specification, know the mark scheme, and can rebuild the gaps that make revision feel impossible.
- Exam-board specific
- Weekly or intensive
- Online lessons
What happens next
- 1. A free consultation about the student's stage and goals.
- 2. A shortlist of tutors, reviewed by a person before it reaches you.
- 3. A free compatibility trial before anything is paid for.
Founding lessons from £25 per hour. No grade or place is ever guaranteed.
Who GCSE tuition suits
Most families come to us at one of three moments: a disappointing mock, a subject that has quietly slipped, or a strong student who wants the top grades secured early.
- Students in Years 9 to 11 following any UK GCSE specification
- Students retaking a subject or moving between exam boards
- Students who understand the content but lose marks in exam conditions
- Students who need structure and accountability between lessons
What usually gets in the way
These are the patterns we see most often, and what a tutor does about them.
Too many subjects, no plan
Nine or ten subjects at once is a scheduling problem before it is an academic one. Tutors help build a weekly plan the student can actually keep to.
Gaps from earlier years
Weak Key Stage 3 foundations resurface in GCSE papers. We diagnose the gap and repair it rather than teaching over it.
Confidence after a poor mock
A bad result can turn into avoidance. Early lessons focus on visible, quick wins so the student re-engages with the subject.

A typical first four weeks
Every plan is adjusted at the consultation, but this is the shape most engagements take.
- Week 1
Diagnostic and baseline
The tutor works through recent papers and classwork with the student to find where marks are actually being lost.
- Week 2
Repair the foundations
The two or three topics doing the most damage are retaught properly, with practice set between lessons.
- Week 3
Exam technique
Timing, command words and mark-scheme language, using past questions from the student's own board.
- Week 4
Review and plan forward
A full timed section, a written progress note for parents, and a plan for the following block of lessons.
What families ask
Do you teach every exam board?
We match tutors to AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC/Eduqas specifications. Tell us the board at your consultation and we match on it specifically.
How many lessons a week?
One lesson per subject per week suits most students. Closer to exams, families often add a second session for timed practice.
How do we start?
Book a free consultation. We talk through the student's stage, goals and timetable, then recommend a tutor and arrange a free compatibility trial before anything is paid for.
