General
We provide online one-to-one tuition to students studying the British curriculum at all levels including A-Level, GCSE and KS3.
Lessons take place on our virtual classroom software. This is similar to Skype, offering video, microphone, a digital whiteboard, and ability to share screen and write on uploaded notes and exam papers.
Our tutors all have proven track records of helping their students achieve higher grades. We cannot guarantee specific grades as each student is different, but typically, 10 lessons can boost grades across two grade boundaries (e.g. C → A). Full modules have been covered in 20 lessons, taking the student from a U grade to a B.
Our tutors are carefully selected based on their teaching experience and academic achievements, with many holding PhDs from the UK’s best universities.
The main benefits of online tutoring over in-person tutoring are:
- One-to-one tuition, focussing on your child’s needs.
- Avoid having to travel to meet tutor
- Lessons can take place anytime and anywhere
- Can meet several tutors for free before deciding to book
- Book as you go. No minimum booking requirement.

Yes! You can book a 15-minute free trial with any tutor without having to make a commitment to paid lessons. In this trial, the tutor will show you the virtual classroom functions and discuss your child’s needs. If you are happy with the discussion, you can proceed to booked lessons.
Teaching takes place entirely on a browser based platform, running on our servers. The platform provides text, audio, and video chat, as well as a whiteboard where presentations or PDF’s can be shown and annotated (e.g. solving questions on an exam paper). Unlike many other online tutors, we do not expect our tutors to have to resort to Skype or other third party tools to provide an effective lesson.
This depends on your child’s requirements and should be discussed with your tutor to identify the appropriate number of tutorials. On average, our students book 1-2 hourly sessions per week early on in the term to fully prepare for the exams.
Students love the online lessons, as they are entirely personalised and easy to follow. The classroom software is also very easy to use with many similarities to Skype.
Yes! Our online virtual classroom lets you get tutored anywhere in the world. We have had clients in the U.K., U.A.E., Spain, and Cyprus who have benefited greatly from our international capability.
All our tutors are selected based on academic and teaching excellence. They are also personally interviewed by a member of our staff to ensure they are motivated to teach our students.
