One-to-one online tuition for Huddersfield families. GCSE, KS3, primary and SATs, and 11+ preparation for Heckmondwike Grammar School and the Calderdale grammars.
Most Huddersfield secondary schools are comprehensive, but Kirklees is home to Heckmondwike Grammar School, a state selective school that offers places by its own entrance examination, sat in September of Year 6. Applications go through the Kirklees common application, and the school's own registration usually runs in early summer of Year 5. Just over the border, Crossley Heath and North Halifax in Calderdale share one entrance test of their own.
Because these are different tests on different timetables, tell us which schools you are considering and we will build a Year 5 plan around them.
For most Huddersfield children the decisive exams are KS2 SATs and GCSE. That is where an hour a week, with the same tutor, compounds furthest.
One-to-one online tutors for Huddersfield families in every core subject, from Reception to Year 11. We teach children across Huddersfield, including Fartown, Birkby, Lockwood, Crosland Moor, Marsh and Dewsbury: lessons are online, so it makes no difference which part of the city you live in.
Number, algebra, geometry and statistics from primary to GCSE Foundation and Higher, on your child's exam board.

One subject or several, with past papers and mark schemes on AQA, Edexcel or OCR.
KS1 and KS2 maths and English, times tables, reading fluency and steady KS2 SATs practice.
Entrance preparation matched to the test your target school uses, starting in Year 5.
Where an hour a week does the most good, by stage.
| Stage | What matters most | What we focus on |
|---|---|---|
| Primary (KS1–KS2) | Reading fluency, times-table recall and writing confidence | Diagnosing whether a reading problem is decoding, fluency, vocabulary or comprehension — each needs a different fix |
| Year 6 SATs | Reading, SPaG and maths papers at the end of Year 6 | Steady work across the year rather than a panicked spring term, plus timed arithmetic practice |
| KS3 (Years 7–9) | The gaps that quietly open when nobody is examining anything | Algebra above all, plus written structure in English — the two strongest predictors of later GCSE grades |
| 11+ (Heckmondwike and Calderdale) | Heckmondwike Grammar's own test, and the shared Crossley Heath and North Halifax test, both in September of Year 6 | Reasoning, maths and English at speed, timed papers, and a Year 5 plan built around your target schools |
| GCSE (Years 10–11) | Maths, English and Science grades, and the tier your child is entered for | Full specification coverage on the correct board, past papers, and exam technique from the start |
| Written English | Fluent speech, underpowered writing — very common in bilingual households | Paragraph structure, embedded quotations and analytical sentences taught explicitly |
Lessons in English, because that is what the exam is in — with Urdu available for the thirty seconds it takes to unlock a stuck idea.
Preparation for the tests your target grammar schools actually use.
Three one-hour sessions every week, which works out at under £5 an hour.
A written report every week and every lesson recorded, with updates in English or Urdu as you prefer.
Session times shift during Ramadan and pause around Eid, with no charge for the weeks you miss.
An hour a week in Year 8 is worth more to a GCSE grade than three hours a week in Year 11, and costs far less stress.
| Plan | Sessions | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 3 × 1-hour sessions per week | £60 / month | Steady support in one subject alongside school |
| Intensive | 5 × 1-hour sessions per week | £100 / month | Exam years, catch-up, or two subjects at once |
