Frequently asked questions

Lessons and suitability
What ages do you work with?
We work with children from reception through to GCSE, as well as adults needing support with English, Maths, or assessments.
What subjects do you cover?
We offer support in English and Maths, including 11+ preparation, GCSE tuition, and adult learning.
Do you offer small group or one-to-one tuition?
We focus on small group learning, which means each student still gets plenty of individual attention while also benefiting from a supportive group setting.
What group sizes do you work with?
We keep groups small, typically no more than a handful of students, so each one gets the attention they need.
Do you support home-schooled students?
Yes. We provide structured daytime and after-school learning for home-schooled students, helping them stay on track and build confidence in English and Maths.
How do sessions work?
Sessions are tailored to your child, but typically include:
- Focused support on current school topics
- Building confidence and independent thinking
- Techniques they can use outside sessions
We'll adjust things as we go, depending on what they need most.
My child lacks confidence, can you help?
Yes, a lot of our students come to us needing a confidence boost. We focus on creating a calm, supportive environment where they can feel comfortable and make steady progress.
It's not just about the subject itself, it's about helping them feel more capable and less anxious when they get stuck. We build that gradually, in a way that feels manageable for them.
How do you support exam preparation?
We provide focused support for 11+ and GCSE exams, combining clear explanations, practice, and guidance so students feel properly prepared on the day.
Do you offer adult tuition?
Yes. We support adults with English, Maths, and teacher assessment tests, at whatever starting point works for you.
Payments and practicalities
How much do lessons cost?
Sessions are £27 for 1 hour 20 minutes. We'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch, and you're welcome to ask about payment options if they'd help.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers.
Can I use Tax-Free Childcare or childcare vouchers?
Yes. You can use the Tax-Free Childcare scheme to pay for tuition, and we also accept childcare vouchers where your employer runs a voucher scheme.
Can I get financial support for tuition?
As an Ofsted-registered provider, you may be able to claim help towards tuition costs. If you work more than 16 hours a week and receive Working Tax Credit or Universal Credit, you could be eligible for support of up to 70%.
You can find more information about Tax-Free Childcare on the Government's website.
