The GCSE Tuition Process

  • We suggest a GCSE tutor or tutors (depending on how many subjects are required for tuition) and send their full CV/s for review, detailing their full academic background and tuition experience.

  • Once GCSE tutor/s are confirmed, we typically suggest beginning with a diagnostic session in each subject, where the tutor will informally assess the student’s current level and identify key areas to address. Following this, we issue a report with feedback, and structure a plan to best prepare.

  • Frequency of sessions is decided between the student and their GCSE tutor.

"Tara helped greatly in extending my knowledge of English Literature to achieve my desired top grade- exposing me to new texts, as well as developing my ability to engage in top level analysis of set texts. I always felt comfortable asking when I didn't understand something, and Tara would always explain in great detail. I will miss our sessions; I cannot have asked for a better tutor. Thank you."
