Revision Courses

What to Expect

A Unique Revision Course Structure

Our priority is ensuring students receive high-quality tailored tuition, which meets their individual needs. We achieve this by requesting the students’ priority topics in advance of the course, so that our tutors can plan the structure and content of the course to target the students’ needs and optimise the effectiveness of their revision.

Small-Group Courses- the benefits

Study with like-minded students in a group of no more than eight students and receive support from a subject specialist tutor. Small groups enable valuable discussion opportunities, allowing ideas and theories to be explored and providing students with the opportunity to learn from one another, as well as from the tutor.

Experienced, subject-specialist tutors

We select experienced subject-specialist tutors with a flair for inspiring students and boosting their confidence. As many of our tutors are also examiners, they are skilled at identifying knowledge or skills gaps and fine-tuning students’ exam technique.

Classroom-Based and Online Courses

Our classroom-based courses provide students with a stimulating and inclusive study environment, free from distractions at home. They enable the tutor to provide more individual attention and interaction with students. Tutors are able to circulate in a classroom, looking at a student’s work, spotting errors and discussing solutions. Students mix with other motivated students and share ideas readily, which helps with their enjoyment, engagement and motivation.

Our online courses are a great alternative to classroom-based courses, and ensure that students receive high quality tuition but with the added flexibility of studying from any location. These courses are especially useful for those who live far away from one of our centres and for those who do not need the more individual support provided by classroom-based courses. Online courses are delivered on Microsoft Teams.

Age Groups

We offer a comprehensive range of tuition and revision courses for students in Years 10 to 13 (studying towards IGCSE, GCSE and A Levels). Our small group courses have an upper age limit of 19 years but we also offer online one to one tuition for younger or older students.

Course Duration

Our standard revision courses are two days in length for GCSE and three days in length for A Level although there are some exceptions. Most courses provide six hours of specialist tuition per day.

Subjects

We cover most GCSE and A level subjects and often add courses if there is sufficient demand, so do contact us to check. If we can’t offer a small group course, we can almost certainly find you a tutor for online one-to-one tuition.

Our Timetable

We run revision courses during all school holiday periods and on weekends in the run up to the May/June exams, to enable you to plan a comprehensive revision programme for your son or daughter. The emphasis of the course will be more focused on new knowledge and knowledge consolidation earlier in the year and focused on exam techniques and exam questions the nearer it gets to the exams.

You can search and provisionally book courses on our Course Timetable page.
