Lesson route

How support usually becomes useful

The aim is not just to book a lesson. The aim is to turn the parent brief into focused tuition that makes sense for the student.

1

First lesson

identify gaps, confidence level and exam or school requirements

2

Weeks 2 to 4

rebuild weak topics and practise clear working or written structure

3

Ongoing

use targeted practice, retrieval, feedback and short tasks between lessons where useful

4

Exam phase

shift towards past-paper questions, timing, mark schemes and important mistakes

Questions

Common parent questions

How do I get started?

Send the student year group, subject, exam board if known, weak topics, target grade and preferred lesson times. We will use that information to suggest a suitable tutor match.

How much does tutoring cost?

Many KS3 and GCSE lessons start from £20 per hour. Some specialist A-Level support can start from £25 per hour or more depending on subject, tutor and experience.

Can I view tutors before enquiring?

Yes. The tutor page shows named tutor profiles, subjects, levels and starting prices so parents can make a more informed enquiry.
