One-to-one online tuition for Peterborough families. GCSE, KS3, primary and SATs, and 11+ preparation for families looking at the Lincolnshire grammar schools.
Peterborough's secondary schools are comprehensive. Some families look north to the Lincolnshire grammar schools, such as Bourne Grammar School and the Spalding grammar schools, which use the Lincolnshire Consortium 11+: a GL Assessment test in verbal reasoning and in non-verbal and spatial reasoning, sat as two papers in September of Year 6. Peterborough is in a different local authority, so check the current rules for out-of-county applicants with the school before planning.
For most Peterborough families the priorities are KS2 SATs and then GCSE, and that is where weekly tuition makes the biggest difference.
Many Peterborough households speak Urdu or Punjabi at home. Our tutors teach in English and switch to Urdu whenever it helps, and they are used to the gap between fluent speech and written work that we see so often.
One-to-one online tutors for Peterborough families in every core subject, from Reception to Year 11. We teach children across Peterborough, including Millfield, Gladstone, New England, Werrington, Orton and Hampton: 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 |
| 11+ (Lincolnshire grammars) | The Lincolnshire Consortium GL test, two papers sat in September of Year 6 | Verbal, non-verbal and spatial reasoning at speed, timed papers, and a Year 5 plan |
| 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 consortium test used by Bourne and the Spalding grammar schools.
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 |
