– The tutor builds a personalised plan that supports classwork and upcoming assessments.
– You receive a written session report after every lesson so you can see progress.
– We check in regularly and adjust the plan as school priorities change, for example before mocks or end-of-year exams.

Yes. Our local tutors work to the National Curriculum for England and follow the exam board specifications used by nearby schools, including AQA, Edexcel and OCR for GCSEs and A-Levels. For primary pupils, we build skills for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 and support preparation for KS2 SATs where relevant.

For secondary pupils, we focus on:
– Curriculum content topic by topic.
– Exam technique, command words and mark schemes.
– Past-paper practice and targeted revision plans.

We support students who attend schools in Epping Forest District and nearby London boroughs such as Redbridge and Waltham Forest, so we are familiar with local expectations and timelines.

We provide one-to-one tuition from primary through to sixth form.

Typical areas we cover:
– Primary and KS3: reading, writing, spelling, phonics, English, maths and science.
– GCSE: English Language, English Literature, Maths, Combined Science and Triple Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, Computer Science, Business, Spanish and French.
– A-Levels: Maths and Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language and Literature, plus selected humanities and social sciences.
