Questions parents ask

How big are the groups?

Between 3 and 5 students, all in the same year and tier.

Who teaches the groups?

A UK-qualified teacher (QTS or QTLS), Enhanced DBS checked.

How do I know which group is right?

Your child takes our free diagnostic test at home. We use the results to recommend the right group, or one-to-one if that suits them better.

When do I pay?

Reserving is free. Once 3 students have reserved, the group is confirmed and we send a direct debit link. The first payment is taken before the first lesson.

How much does it cost?

£100 a month, or £90 a month on a term plan. Families who join before 1 December 2026 pay £80 a month, fixed for the school year.

What if my child misses a lesson?

Group lessons run at a set time and cannot be moved, but we share the lesson materials so your child can catch up.

Can my child join with friends?

Yes. Three to five friends can book their own private group at the group price, at a time that suits them.

What if students in the group sit different exam boards?

That's fine. The GCSE Maths content is the same for AQA, Edexcel and OCR, so lessons teach it together using exam questions from all three boards. Your child's practice and monthly checks use their own board's papers, so they get used to how their questions are asked.
