One to one lessons that start by finding the gap, not by going faster. A plan you can see, and a child who stops dreading the subject.

Worth knowing

Find the gap first
Most trouble started two years before the thing they cannot do now.
A plan you can see
What we are covering, in what order, and how it lines up with school.
Told the truth
What is realistic in the time left, said plainly and early.
Confidence counts
A child who believes they can do it works between lessons. That is where the progress is.

The tutoringTeaching one person at a time

In a class of thirty, a child who missed one idea has no way of saying so. One to one, that is the first thing we find — and it is usually further back than anybody expected.

We work with what school is doing rather than against it, and we tell you honestly how much can be covered before an exam rather than promising a grade.

How it works

What we teach

Primary
Reading, writing and number confidence, before a dislike sets in.
Exam preparation
Past papers, technique and timing, with the gaps filled as we go.
Resits
Starting from what went wrong last time rather than from the beginning of the book.
Entrance exams
For a school or a course, with the format practised until it holds no surprises.
Maths
From the basics up, taught until it makes sense rather than until it is memorised.
Languages
Reading, writing and actually speaking, out loud, from the first lesson.
Sciences
The ideas first, then the questions, then the exam technique.
Essays and coursework
Planning, structure and how to answer the question that was asked.
Study skills
A revision plan that fits a real week, and how to start when starting is the hard part.
Online lessons
The same lesson by video, which suits teenagers more often than parents expect.
Adults
Coming back to a subject years later, without embarrassment.

Ask about lessons

Where we work

The room, the desk and the whiteboard — nothing exciting, and that is the point.

Starting lessons

The first few weeks, step by step.

Step 01
A first chat
What the subject is, where it is going wrong, and any exams coming up.
Step 02
Find the gap
A short session working backwards until we find where it stopped making sense.
Step 03
Regular lessons
Building from there, with something short to practise between them.
Step 04
Progress updates
After every lesson: what we did and what to work on. For parents too, where it is a child.

Questions parents ask

How many lessons will it take?

We will tell you after the first one, honestly. Some need a term, some need six weeks before an exam.

Where do lessons happen?

At home, here or online — whichever works.

Will you tell me how it is going?

After every lesson, briefly: what we did and what to practise. No surprises at the end of term.

My child says they hate the subject.

That is usually fear rather than dislike, and it changes once something clicks.

The exam is in three weeks.

Then we will be honest about what can be fixed and what should simply be practised, and spend the time on the questions that carry the most marks.

Can you guarantee a grade?

No, and nobody honest can. We can tell you what is realistic and work hard for it.

Exam coming up?
