Parents’ evening raised concerns

You got a grade and a comment — but not a clear explanation or plan.

  • We diagnose using real exam questions
  • Match to the exact exam board
  • Build a plan your child can follow

Most parents aren’t trying to push — they’re trying to prevent regret.

Common situations

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone

These are starting points — not diagnoses. The first lesson is about finding the real cause.

What happens next

How we find the issue — then fix it

Most parents can’t diagnose this (and shouldn’t have to). We use the same view the exam board uses — but 1-to-1.

Specification-led Mark-scheme aligned At your child’s pace
1
Diagnose the mark leak
Use real exam questions.
See exactly where marks are lost.
2
Teach the scoring method
Train the structure examiners reward.
Make it repeatable.
3
Lock it in under time
Timed practice (small, focused).
Correct the same errors fast.

Mocks didn’t go as expected

The effort is there — but the paper isn’t showing it.

  • Find where marks are actually lost
  • Train the scoring method examiners reward
  • Repeat until it holds under time

GCSE improvement usually comes from fixing method, not adding pressure.

Exam boards (UK)

Same spec your school follows. Same mark schemes examiners use — but delivered 1-to-1 at your child’s pace.

How it works

A simple start. Then steady progress.

No tutor roulette. No vague “we’ll see”. You get clarity fast, then one clear focus each week.

1
Share the basics
Subject, exam board, current grade, target, availability.
~60 seconds
2
We match the right tutor
Board + level + the real issue (gaps / technique / timing / confidence).
Usually 24–48h

First lesson = clarity
Find what’s losing marks, teach one method, set one weekly target.
60 minutes
After that: exam-board specific practice, simple routines, and visible progress on the paper.
Early signals

What you should see early on

You shouldn’t have to guess. These are the early signs tutoring is actually working.

If progress stalls, we adjust the plan — we don’t just add more hours.

One weekly focus
A single priority target (not a long vague list).
Cleaner work on the page
More method marks, fewer avoidable errors.
Simple parent updates

What lessons feel like

Example parent update

                                        GCSE Maths (AQA)

This week:
Linear equations — method shown more consistently.
Accuracy improved on the same question types.

Main issue:
Skipping steps when timed.

Next target:
8 mixed questions — write every step.

Next lesson:
Timed set to lock the method in.
                                    
Why this matters
Predictable progress

When the method is right, improvement stops feeling random.

Why this works

GCSE marks move for two reasons

Effort matters — but papers reward specific things, under time pressure.

Marks follow method
Exams don’t reward understanding alone. They reward the steps, structure, and method shown on the page.
Methods hold only when trained under pressure
If it breaks when timed, it isn’t learned yet. So we practise until it works reliably in exam conditions.
That’s why progress becomes predictable — not hopeful.
Mark-scheme aligned Exam-board specific Timed practice weekly
Progress you can see
On the paperWeek by week

Fewer avoidable errors. Cleaner method. Confidence under time.

Why it often stalls

Why tutoring doesn’t always change grades

Usually not because the student isn’t trying — but because the work isn’t aligned to the exam.

Topic help without exam training
Understanding improves, marks don’t.
No clear baseline
Time goes into the wrong areas.
Practice without correction routines
The same mistakes repeat.
More hours, same results
Effort increases. Scores stay flat.
What works instead
GCSE marks move when the scoring method is trained — then repeated under time pressure.
That’s the difference between “help” and a plan that changes exam scores.
Matching system

We match on inputs — not guesswork

Small differences matter at GCSE. We match to the reality on paper, not assumptions.

FAQs

Quick answers before you book

If you’re still unsure, book the free lesson and leave with a plan.

How quickly can we start?
Often within days. If you have a deadline (mocks / exams), tell us and we’ll prioritise.
Do you teach AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s specification, question style, and mark scheme.
What happens in the free first lesson?
We diagnose using exam-style questions, teach one scoring method, and set one clear next target. No pressure to continue.
My child is anxious / shuts down — is this still a fit?
Yes. We keep it calm and structured. We don’t shame, rush, or overload — we build confidence through small wins on the paper.
How do you measure progress?
We track mark leaks by question type + timed performance. If progress stalls, we change the plan.
What if the tutor isn’t a good fit?
We rematch quickly. No awkward conversations and no wasted weeks.
Do you set homework?
Yes — but it’s short and focused. A practice pack linked to the weekly target.
Is it weekly? Can we change frequency?
Weekly works best. Some families do 2x weekly short-term, then drop to weekly.
