Our proven method

Good tutoring isn't about more hours — it's about the right support, delivered the right way. Here's exactly how that works.

Since 2010 we've refined a method built around one principle: every child is unique and deserves teaching shaped around them. It rests on small classes, an honest diagnosis, examiner-led teaching and relentless, realistic practice.

The method

Seven things we do differently

Classes of no more than four

Enough individual attention to fix each child's gaps, with enough peer energy to keep them motivated.

We diagnose before we teach

A free personalised assessment identifies their level, produces an individual learning plan and places them in the right group.

Teachers who are examiners

Because they mark real papers, they teach the mark scheme — how grades are actually awarded.

Structured two-hour lessons

Teach the concept, reinforce with worksheets, consolidate with weekly homework — plus support for school homework.

Testing under real conditions

Weekly tests and a minimum of five mocks (GCSE, A-Level, Year 6) marked to exam-board rubrics.

We keep you in the loop

Weekly progress tracking and termly parents' meetings — parents are partners in this.
