GCSE Tuition in Royal Docks

Exam-aware teaching

We teach students to read questions like examiners do: spotting command words, allocating time, and structuring answers to match the mark scheme. We model how to plan longer responses and reduce careless errors.

Students practise annotation, quick outlines, and writing to time in manageable bursts so timed practice becomes normal rather than stressful.

Past-paper strategy

We use exam board materials (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and break them into short sections. We review common traps, show how marks are awarded, and help students build checklists for each paper (e.g., structure for English Language Q5, method marks in maths, key definitions in science).

Targeted topic fixing

After short diagnostics, we create a list of focus areas: algebra fluency, science calculations, literary analysis, or exam vocabulary. Each week, we chip away at a small set of weaknesses rather than overwhelming students with every topic at once.

Study skills and organisation

We help students manage revision folders, build concise notes, and set realistic weekly goals. For busy families, we provide a light, repeatable routine (e.g., two 20-minute drills and one timed section) instead of long cramming sessions.

Weeks 1–3: Baseline & plan

Short diagnostics and a simple plan by paper. We identify topics to fix first and share a light weekly practice schedule with parents.

Weeks 4–7: Practice & feedback

Targeted drills and mini timed sections. Students learn to use mark schemes and error logs to reduce repeated mistakes.

Weeks 8–10: Mock prep

Run a mini mock or curated past-paper sections. We review performance, tighten timing, and create a checklist for the next stage.

Ongoing communication

Parents receive concise updates: what improved, what to practise, and how to support revision at home without overload.
