    Sample live whiteboard

    Lessons use a shared digital whiteboard so tutor and student can work through methods, diagrams and exam questions together in real time.

    FAQ

    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?

    Yes. Each subject is taught by its own tutor, and we can arrange lessons back to back.

    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.

    What do we need for an online lesson?

    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.
