Online GCSE tutoring in London
In London, tutoring is closer to normal
Research published by the Sutton Trust in February 2026 found that 45% of London pupils had received private tutoring, against 27% across the rest of England. Nearly half the year group, and considerably more than anywhere else in the country.
We are a London business ourselves, registered in Feltham, teaching online across all 32 boroughs at £30 a lesson with a free 30-minute trial.

The London picture
Why is tutoring so common here?
Because demand, school sizes and competition for sixth form and university places are all higher. The Sutton Trust puts London at 45% of pupils tutored against 27% elsewhere in England, and 33% in urban areas against 19% in rural ones.
It is context, not pressure
We are not going to tell you your child will fall behind without a tutor. Plenty of students do perfectly well without one. But if you have wondered whether tutoring is unusual in London, the answer is that it is closer to normal than not.
School support has been cut back
Teacher polling in 2025 found 58% of schools had reduced their tutoring offer compared with the previous year, as national funding wound down. Support that used to come free through school increasingly does not.
London demand sets London prices
Published UK tutoring rates range from roughly £24 to £38 an hour depending on the source, and central London sits at the top of that range. Online removes the travel and the local demand premium, which is why we charge £30 everywhere.

The practical case
Why online works particularly well here
London is the hardest city in the country to move across at six in the evening. Almost every practical problem with in-person tutoring is worse here, and every one of them disappears when the lesson happens at the kitchen table.
Nobody crosses London at 6pm
An in-person tutor travelling two zones for a single hour is committing most of their evening, and the rate reflects it. Your child also loses the journey time, on top of a school day that may already involve an hour of travel.
The tutor pool stops being a postcode
Hiring locally means whoever is within reasonable travel of your address. Online means all 39 of our tutors, so an A-Level Chemistry student gets the Master's in Inorganic Chemistry rather than the nearest generalist.
Evening slots actually hold
Tube delays, a late bus, rain, a parent stuck at work. An online slot at seven on a Tuesday tends to just happen, week after week, which is most of what makes tutoring work at all.
The trade-off is real and worth naming: nobody sits at your kitchen table. If your child specifically needs a person physically in the room, a local in-person tutor is the better answer and we would tell you so.

Where our London students are
Everywhere, and it genuinely makes no difference. A family in Havering gets the same tutors, the same availability and the same rate as one in Kensington, because nothing about the lesson depends on where you live.

Subjects
What we teach London students
Eight subjects, each with its own specialists rather than one tutor covering everything. The sciences are where London families ask most often, and where the difference between a specialist and a generalist shows up fastest.
Maths
Fifteen tutors including three qualified teachers, covering Foundation and Higher tier across all boards.
GCSE Maths tutoringChemistry
Five tutors, each with a chemistry-heavy degree, led by a Master's in Inorganic Chemistry. Quantitative chemistry taught properly rather than skipped.
GCSE Chemistry tutoringBiology
Six tutors, every one holding a life science or medical qualification, including examiner experience in the subject.
GCSE Biology tutoringPhysics
Five tutors including a doctorate in Physics and two engineering degrees. One family reported a Grade 4 becoming a 7.
GCSE Physics tutoringEnglish
Twelve tutors including a former AQA examiner. Language and Literature, both papers each.
GCSE English tutoringCombined Science
Fourteen tutors across all three sciences, for students on the Combined route rather than separate sciences.
GCSE Science tutoringComputer Science
Seven tutors including working software engineers, covering both the theory paper and practical programming.
Computer Science tutoringReligious Studies
Eight tutors including a PGCE with QTS and an MA in Theology, focused on the extended evaluation question.
Religious Studies tutoringWe do not teach History, Geography, Business Studies or Modern Languages, and we would rather say so than take a booking we cannot serve properly.
Levels
Who we work with
From Year 7 through to A-Level, plus adults and apprentices taking Functional Skills.
KS3
Years 7 to 9. Fixing foundations before GCSE content starts, which is far cheaper than repairing them in Year 11.
KS3 tutoringGCSE
Years 10 and 11 across all eight subjects, matched to the exam board and tier your child is entered for.
GCSE tutoringGCSE resits
November and summer retakes. A resit is a different problem from a first sitting and needs a different plan.
Resit tutoringFunctional Skills
Level 2 Maths and English for adults and apprentices who need the qualification for work or a college place.
Functional SkillsWhat families say
Does it work?
Reviews from families we have taught, quoted exactly as written. We do not label them by location, because we are not going to imply a London address that we cannot evidence.
"My son started in the autumn GCSE term on a Grade 4. The RS tutor made him practice past-paper and short homework with proper explaination of everything. On results day he got a 7."
"My daughter just got 7 7 in her combined science GCSE. She was failing science until she started learning with these tutors. They explain in a way she could understand and they gave her confidence."
"I took a chance in selecting RS Remote Tutoring, to help my daughter who was struggling with GCSE math and English and I'm so happy I made that choice. The tutors are reliable and professional. They also were very relatable to my 15 year old."

Common questions
Questions from London families
Anything not answered here, message us and we will tell you straight. We usually reply within minutes.
Are you actually based in London?
Yes. The business is registered in Feltham, in the London Borough of Hounslow. There is no teaching centre though, and no office you can visit, because every lesson is delivered live on Zoom. Being London based makes no practical difference to the lesson.
Do you cover my borough?
All 32, from Havering to Hillingdon. Because lessons are online there is no catchment area, so where you live makes no difference to availability, tutor choice or price.
Is it more expensive in London?
No. £30 a lesson, the same as everywhere in the UK, dropping to £27.50 on a term plan and £25 on an annual plan. Published UK rates range from roughly £24 to £38 an hour depending on the source, with central London at the top of that range.
Is tutoring really that common in London?
More common than most parents realise. The Sutton Trust reported in February 2026 that 45% of London pupils had received private tutoring, against 27% across the rest of England. We mention it as context rather than pressure, because plenty of students do perfectly well without a tutor.
Do you offer in-person or home-visit tutoring?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise for the sake of a booking. Every lesson is live on Zoom. If your child specifically needs somebody physically in the room, a local in-person tutor is the better answer.
Do you prepare for 11-plus or independent school entrance?
No. We teach KS3, GCSE, A-Level and Functional Skills Level 2. Independent school admissions testing is outside what we do, and a specialist London agency will serve you far better.
Which exam boards do you cover?
AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC with Eduqas, at both Foundation and Higher tier. Send the specification code from a past paper or the course name and we will confirm which one your child is on before lessons start.
How do you decide which tutor we get?
Someone reads your enquiry and matches on subject, level, exam board, tier, current grade, target grade and the times you are free. You get one name and the reason for it, not a shortlist to compare.
What if the tutor is not the right fit?
Tell us and we will rematch at no cost. You do not lose lessons, restart a plan or pay a fee. With 39 tutors there is genuine room to find somebody better suited.
How quickly can lessons start?
Usually within a day or two. We normally reply within minutes and match a tutor the same day. The limiting factor is finding a slot that suits your child, and London evening slots go first.
