Frequently asked questions

What subjects do you offer?

Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science across KS3, GCSE and A-Level — plus Primary and 11+ preparation. Additional subjects like Business and Economics are available depending on tutor availability.

Do you offer online or in-person lessons?

Both. Many families prefer online for flexibility, while in-person lessons are arranged based on location and tutor availability — including our Harrow group-tuition centre.

How much does group tuition cost?

Group tuition at our Harrow centre is £160 a month for 4 hours a week, which works out at £10 an hour, or £100 a month for 2 hours a week, which is £12.50 an hour. Materials and weekly progress tracking are included. A paid month covers four attended sessions, so a week your child misses rolls forward rather than being charged. Sibling discounts are available, just ask. Full details are on our Harrow centre page. 1-to-1 tuition is priced separately.

How long is each lesson?

Group sessions at Harrow run on Saturdays between 10:00 and 14:00, and you book either 2 hours or 4 hours a week. Online 1-to-1 lessons are 1 hour as standard, with extended sessions available on request.

Are your tutors qualified?

Yes — every tutor is experienced, trained, vetted and DBS-checked. Tutors must demonstrate strong subject knowledge and meet the GradeSmart teaching standard before they take on students.

How do you match my child with a tutor?

We consider subjects, level, learning style, personality and long-term goals — the aim is a match that works academically and personally.

How quickly will my child improve?

Most families see noticeable progress within 4–8 weeks of consistent lessons. Over a full term of weekly sessions, many students improve by one to three grades.

Do you follow my child's exam board?

Yes. Lessons align to your child’s specific exam board — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas or CCEA — so nothing is taught that won’t be examined.

How do payments work?

Payments are secure and online, and paid monthly upfront. For group tuition, a paid month covers four attended sessions, so if your child misses a week that week rolls forward rather than being charged. There is no registration fee and no minimum term.
