03The complete learning plan

Exactly How We Take Your Child to Their Target Grade

One clear academic plan that keeps them ahead in a fast, demanding independent-school year group.

Step 1

Full Diagnostic Assessment

We identify exactly where your child is losing marks, then turn those gaps into a clear starting plan.

Step 2

A Personalised Learning Plan

The diagnostic becomes a clear topic-by-topic priority plan, so your child knows what to focus on first and tutors know where to focus each week.

Step 3

Weekly One-to-One Tuition

Weekly one-to-one sessions close the gaps a fast-moving independent-school classroom can leave behind, building the exam technique and mark-scheme fluency top grades demand.

Step 4

Structured Work Between Lessons

Tutors set focused revision and exam-board-specific practice between sessions, so progress continues all week.

Step 5

Progress Reviewed Every Week

A clear report after each session shows what was covered and what comes next, with the plan developing as your child progresses.

05Where it all begins

It Starts With a Full Diagnostic

Before we teach, we establish exactly what your child understands and where marks are slipping — the gaps a busy, high-pace independent-school classroom can quietly leave behind.

Every Topic Assessed

We work through the relevant specification to establish which areas are secure and which still need attention.

The Exact Gaps Found

We identify the specific knowledge, skills and exam habits currently preventing your child from reaching the next grade.

A Clear Baseline and Plan

The results give us a clear starting point and a priority order for tuition, revision and exam practice.

14FAQ

Everything You Need to Know

What does the programme include? +
We begin with a full diagnostic assessment and use the findings to build a personalised learning plan. From there, your child receives weekly one-to-one tuition, structured work between sessions, access to the Refine Learning Platform and regular progress review.
My child’s school is excellent — why would they need tutoring too? +
Even the best independent schools teach to a whole class, at pace, on a fixed timetable. One-to-one is different: we diagnose your individual child’s gaps and teach directly to them, so the small things missed in a busy classroom don’t quietly cost marks at GCSE — and your child makes full use of the school you’re already paying for.
What if my child does not get on with their tutor? +
We will rematch them. Tutor fit matters, so if the first match is not right academically or personally, we will arrange someone more suitable at no additional matching cost.
Can we pay in instalments? +
Yes. Personalised 1-1 tuition starts from £135/month and programmes are billed monthly. If you decide to stop, one month’s notice is required so your child can receive all tuition already paid for before the programme ends.
Do you tutor students with SEND needs? +
Yes, where we can safely and appropriately meet your child’s needs. We consider the support required and, where appropriate, match them with a tutor who has relevant experience or training.
Is there a guarantee? +
No tutoring provider can guarantee a particular grade. What we can control is the quality and structure of the support: accurate diagnosis, specialist one-to-one tuition, focused revision, exam-board practice and regular progress review.
