This new confidence opens doors, whether it's gaining entry to their preferred Sixth Form, excelling at a vocational college, or building a strong academic profile ready for applications to the University of Portsmouth and beyond. It’s about more than grades; it's about giving them the belief they can achieve their aspirations.
Find a tutor 
Personalised Support, Designed For Your Child and Your Family
Deciding on a tutor can feel like another item on an already long to-do list. We believe you shouldn't have to become a tutoring expert to find the right person. Tell us about your child's needs, their learning style, and what they're hoping to achieve. We’ll then thoughtfully match them with an experienced online tutor, someone skilled at building confidence and explaining complex ideas in a way that truly clicks.
Forget static video calls. Our interactive online classroom is designed for active learning. Your child and their tutor will work together on a shared whiteboard, solving problems in real time. Tutors use annotation tools to highlight key points, making difficult concepts clearer. Every session is recorded too, so your child can revisit explanations or revise before an important exam, whether that’s a GCSE science paper or an A-level English essay.
From your home in Portsmouth, your child gains access to expert tutors from across the UK, not just who happens to live nearby. This means greater choice and flexibility to fit around their existing timetable and family commitments, whether that’s after school or on a Sunday morning. And if for any reason the first tutor isn’t quite the right fit, we’ll happily cover the cost of the first session with a new match.

Farah has tutored me during year 10 and year 11 and all I can say is that she is a patient, intellectual and professional tutor. 6 months ago I was predicted a 5, now getting back my results I have achieved a grade-8 with the great help of Farah.

Claire D
My lessons with Claire helped me achieve an 8 in my French GCSE, despite previously getting low 7s in my school tests. Claire provided me with a wide range of useful resources, tips and exam techniques, and worked through several past papers with me. Her lessons improved my vocabulary and grammar, which are areas that many students find challenging. I’m grateful for her support and would recommend her as a French tutor to those aiming for similar results.
