Opening Doors to Their Future Success
Strong grades in core subjects like Maths and English aren't just about passing exams; they're the keys that unlock future opportunities. Whether your child is aiming for a place at a top grammar school, preparing for their GCSEs, or thinking about A-Levels, these subjects build essential skills. Understanding algebra helps with problem-solving in many fields, while being able to analyse a text like 'Macbeth' teaches critical thinking – skills that universities and employers look for.

How We Help Your Child Build Confidence and Skills
We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only knows their subject inside out, but who also gets to know your child. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns best, building a rapport that helps them feel comfortable and ready to learn. With 90% of our students improving by at least one grade, you can feel confident you're in safe hands. Every child is different, so every lesson should be too. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, your child's tutor will tailor each session to their specific needs. If they're struggling with a particular 11+ topic or need to go over a tricky bit of homework, the lesson will focus on that. This targeted support helps fill in any gaps and ensures they make real, steady progress. Juggling school, clubs, and family life is busy enough. Online tutoring offers the flexibility you need. You can find the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that work for your family, all from the comfort of your own home. It's simple, secure, and designed to fit around you.

Inspiring tutor
Hi, I’m Alice and I have taught secondary history for 16 years and led a department for 10 years. My ethos of the classroom (and department) has always been ‘enjoy and achieve’, and this is what I always aim for when I am teaching in any capacity. I am very good at breaking subject knowledge down for students and helping them to remember the core knowledge. I use a lot of strategies to check for understanding using red, Amber green, questioning, thumbs up/down.One of my other strengths is that I understand what exam boards look for in exam answers.

Science, biology or chemistry - Learn anything easily
Science is just around us, everywhere. You don’t need more than a good grasp of scientific thinking. I am going to teach you. There are no silly questions, it’s all about thinking, asking and discussing.Once you have understood you‘ll know it. Don’t hesitate to ask me. We can do it together, we just need some time. Anything you want: talk-overs for deep inspections and searching for explanations, practice test to prepare for an exam and to get a routine. No more unclear subjects, no more failure.

Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)
