Online Tuition for KS3, GCSE & A-Level
Live, structured lessons led by specialist tutors. Confident progress from Royal Docks to wherever you learn best.
What makes our online lessons work
Clear teaching, structured practice, and family-friendly communication.
Calm, predictable routines
Each lesson follows a simple sequence: recap, modelled example, guided practice, short independent task, and recap notes. This reduces anxiety, keeps learners focused, and makes it easier for parents to see what was covered.
We share recap notes and key worked examples so students can revise without scrolling through long recordings.
Small groups for real interaction
Up to five students per tutor so everyone speaks, asks questions, and gets tailored feedback. We use short breakout moments when needed, but keep most teaching live and interactive so learners feel supported.
Group sizes are reviewed each half term to ensure pace and confidence stay balanced.
Exam awareness for KS3–A-Level
We build exam habits early: how to read questions, plan timing, and avoid common mark-scheme pitfalls. For GCSE and A-Level, we integrate short timed drills and teach students to annotate questions before answering.
Parent-friendly updates
After sessions, you receive concise notes: topics covered, what went well, and what to practise next. We avoid jargon and keep instructions actionable so you can support your child without guesswork.
Support by stage
Matched to KS3, GCSE, and A-Level needs.
KS3 (Years 7–9)
We focus on secure foundations: algebra basics, fractions and indices, grammar and paragraphing, and scientific method. Students practise organising their notes and completing short, regular tasks instead of last-minute cramming.
GCSE (Years 10–11)
We teach students to think like examiners: what “evaluate” vs “explain” requires, how to structure answers, and how to use mark schemes. We run short timed sections, review errors, and set clear next steps to fix weak areas.
A-Level
We deepen subject understanding, strengthen writing quality, and rehearse exam-style planning. Students get frequent, smaller practice tasks with quick feedback so they can adjust before mocks and finals.
How a typical term runs online
Practical steps from the first session to exam readiness.
Weeks 1–3: Baseline & routines
We benchmark current knowledge with short tasks or past-paper extracts. Students learn the lesson rhythm and how to use shared documents and recap notes. Parents receive a brief plan for the month.
Weeks 4–7: Practice & feedback
We increase guided-to-independent ratios, add light timed elements (especially for GCSE/A-Level), and send simple feedback after each session. If needed, we adjust groupings or recommend short 1:1 blocks on tricky topics.
Weeks 8–10: Consolidate
We revisit gaps, run a short mock or quiz, and set a clear practice plan. If exams are approaching, we share a week-by-week schedule that fits around school and family commitments.
Ongoing: Communication
Parents can reach out between sessions; we keep answers concise and action-focused. We prefer short, frequent check-ins over long reports, so progress stays visible without extra stress.
