Questions about our GCSE tutors

Looking for how lessons work instead? See our Online GCSE Tutoring page. Anything not covered here, ask a Learning Advisor.

Can tutoring help my child move up from Foundation to Higher?

Often, yes. In Maths and the sciences the step up is mostly the Higher-only content and multi-step problem solving, which one-to-one lessons can target directly. Your tutor will work through Higher-level questions, track progress on past papers, and tell you honestly whether Higher is realistic before entries close.

Can a tutor help us decide between Foundation and Higher?

Yes. Your tutor will look at your child’s mock results, current working grade and plans after GCSE, and give you a clear recommendation. Schools usually confirm entries around February of Year 11, so it is worth raising early. If your child wants to take the subject at A-Level, Higher is usually needed, because sixth forms often ask for a 6 or 7.

Do your GCSE tutors teach both Foundation and Higher tier?

Yes. Our GCSE tutors teach both tiers in every tiered subject, including Maths, the sciences and languages. They also teach Cambridge IGCSE Core and Extended, and OxfordAQA Core and Extension. Tell us which tier your child is entered for when you enquire, and we will match a tutor who knows those papers.

When should my child start GCSE tutoring?

Many students start in Year 10, when GCSE content begins, so gaps are fixed before they build up. Others start in Year 11 to prepare for mocks and final exams. Tutoring can start at any point, and sessions can increase in the run-up to exams.

How much does GCSE tutoring cost?

Online GCSE and IGCSE tutoring with an academic tutor starts from $50 USD (£38) per hour. You can pay as you go, invoiced after each lesson, or buy a package upfront and save between 5% and 15% depending on its size. There are no lock-in contracts or hidden fees. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour. See our GCSE tutoring prices.

Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the lesson fee. That applies if you cancel less than one hour before the start time, or don't turn up. You can still change a session time whenever you need to, as long as you give your tutor notice.

How do I find a GCSE tutor for my child?

Fill out our online form with your child's subjects, exam board, target grades and availability. A Learning Advisor reviews it the same day and matches your child with a GCSE tutor who teaches that specification. The tutor then contacts you to arrange the first lesson.

Is a GCSE tutoring agency better than finding a private tutor myself?

An agency does the checking for you. Every GCSE tutor we work with has had their results verified, passed a teaching interview and a background check, and completed safeguarding training. If the fit isn't right, we refund the first session and find a replacement at no cost. A tutor found privately rarely comes with any of that. Read about our safeguarding.

Which GCSE subjects do your tutors cover?

Our GCSE tutors cover the core subjects, English, Maths and Science (including triple science), plus option subjects such as History, Geography, languages and Computer Science. They teach to your school's exam board, whether that's AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel or WJEC/Eduqas. Studying internationally? See IGCSE tutoring.

What qualifications do your GCSE tutors have?

Academic GCSE tutors achieved a grade 9 in each GCSE subject they teach, checked against their results. Professional GCSE tutors are qualified teachers with at least 5 years of experience. All GCSE tutors pass a live teaching interview, an identity check and a background check before meeting a student. See our selection process.

How do you select your tutors?

Applicants submit their results, transcripts and teaching experience, which we check. Shortlisted applicants then have a live interview with a teaching sample. They must also pass identity and background checks. Only the top 5% are accepted, and every tutor is reviewed each term after joining. Read the full selection process.

Are your tutors DBS checked?

Every tutor must pass a background check before teaching. Which check depends on where they live: tutors based in the UK provide an Enhanced DBS check, and tutors elsewhere provide the equivalent check for their country. All tutors are also identity checked against their qualifications. See how we select tutors.

Can I choose my own tutor?

Yes. You can browse tutor profiles and filter by qualification, subject or tutor type. Please note, the tutors on our website are only a selection of the total tutors we have available. Or let a Learning Advisor shortlist tutors for you based on your subject, exam board, target grade and availability.

What is the difference between academic and professional tutors?

Academic tutors are recent top-performing graduates who achieved an A* or A in the subject they teach. They sat these papers recently and are more affordable. Professional tutors are current or former qualified teachers and examiners with 5+ years of teaching experience and deep exam board knowledge. Compare rates on our pricing page.

What if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?

Tell your Learning Advisor and they'll handle it, so you don't have to approach the tutor yourself. If you're not happy after the first session, we refund it in full. We'll match you with another tutor at no cost and share your plan with them, so nothing starts again from scratch.
