Which kind of tuition fits your child?
Every child learns differently. Here is an honest look at the common options, so you can choose what suits your family.
| Option | Attention per student | Pace and content | Where it happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-to-one online (what we offer) | The tutor works with your child only | Planned around your child’s exam board, gaps and goals | Live online, at home, in your local time |
| Small-group or centre classes | Shared with other students | Usually set for the group as a whole | Often travel to a fixed venue or timetable |
| Videos and self-study | No live feedback | Student sets their own pace | Anywhere, but needs strong self-discipline |
Not sure which is right? Book the free demo class and we will give you an honest view of your child’s level and needs.

Frequently asked questions
Is the first class really free?
Yes. The demo class is free and carries no obligation.
Which exam boards do you cover?
Edexcel, Cambridge (CIE), AQA, OCR and the IB. Tell us your board when you book.
Can my child learn Maths and Science together?

What time zones do you teach in?
UK, Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman), Australia, Canada and Pakistan. You choose a time that suits your school day.
What is the difference between Cambridge IGCSE and Edexcel International GCSE?
They are two separate international qualifications from different exam boards, with different specification codes (for example Maths 0580 for Cambridge and 4MA1 for Edexcel). Your child’s school decides which one is taken, and we teach to that specification.
How do I know which tier my child is entered for?
Cambridge IGCSE Maths is taken at Core or Extended level, and Edexcel Maths at Foundation or Higher. Your child’s school confirms the tier. If you are unsure, tell us in the demo class and we will help you check.

A laptop, tablet or computer with a stable internet connection and headphones. Lessons use a shared digital whiteboard, so your child can work through questions with the tutor live.
