One-to-one online tuition for Nottingham families. GCSE, KS3, primary and SATs, plus preparation for independent school entrance — the same tutor at the same hour every week.
Neither Nottingham nor Nottinghamshire has state grammar schools, so there is no council-run 11+. Families who want selective entry look at independent schools such as Nottingham High School and Nottingham Girls' High School, which set their own entrance exams, usually in the 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 families the work is KS2 SATs, a confident start to secondary school, and the GCSE grades that open post-16 options.
No driving across the city after school, no waiting rooms, and a tutor your child keeps from week to week. Every lesson is recorded and you get a short written report each week, so you always know what was covered.
One-to-one online tutors for Nottingham families in every core subject, from Reception to Year 11. We teach children across Nottingham, including Hyson Green, Forest Fields, Sneinton, Bulwell, West Bridgford and Beeston: 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.
Reading, comprehension and the written-register gap at primary, then GCSE English Language and Literature.
KS3 science and GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics, Combined or Triple, with required practicals explained.
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 |
| 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 |
