✔ £25 per student per hour session.
✔ No more than 6 students in sessions.
✔ Students are grouped in the session
by exam board (AQA, Edexcel,
Eduqas, OCR etc) and ability so that
texts and approaches are always
appropriate.
✔ Each student receives the session
materials and slides after the
lesson for revision purposes.
✔ Optional weekly homework
questions set for each student -
with returned answers marked,
annotated and graded with targets
set.
Group lessons are joined using an emailed Google Meet link. Our students find it incredibly easy to use.

Benefits of English Tuition in Small Groups
-
Cost-effective without compromising quality.
-
Analytical skills built through teacher-scaffolded discussion.
-
A small audience of peers can motivate students to extend themselves further.
-
Group questioning techniques involves everyone throughout the session, prompting students to build upon and challenge ideas - skills required for mid to high grade boundaries.
-
Unlike a school classroom, there are no existing friendships or poor behaviour to distract a small group from working effectively and making swift progress.
