One-to-one tuition for Leicester families, with Urdu-speaking tutors who understand the household. GCSE, KS3, primary and SATs — the same tutor at the same hour every week.
Leicester's state secondary schools are comprehensive, so there is no council-run 11+. Selective entry in the area means independent schools such as Leicester Grammar School and Leicester High School for Girls, which set their own entrance exams, usually in January of Year 6. If one of those is on your list, tell us and we will prepare for that school's papers rather than a generic workbook.
For most Leicester families the priorities are simpler and more consequential: is my child secure at primary, and are they on track for the GCSE grades they need?
Leicester has a large South Asian community, and many of the families we teach speak Urdu, Punjabi or Gujarati at home. Our tutors teach in English, because that is what the exam is in, and switch to Urdu when it unlocks a stuck idea. The pattern we see most — fluent speech, written work that undersells the child — is a register problem, and it is directly teachable.
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 |
| 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 school's own papers if you are aiming at an independent school — or none, if comprehensive is the plan.
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 |
