Subjects
Every subject we actually teach
Eight subjects, taught one to one and online, from Year 7 through to A-Level and Functional Skills Level 2. Maths, English, Combined Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science and Religious Studies.
That is the full list. We would rather tell you plainly that a subject is not covered than take the booking and hope.
Same £30 a lesson whichever subject and whichever level.

Teaching UK students since 2020.
All eight
Which subjects do you tutor?
Maths, English Language and Literature, Combined Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science and Religious Studies. Each has its own page with the topics covered, and its own tutors rather than one generalist stretched across all eight.
Maths
KS3 to A-LevelFoundation and Higher tier, from the algebra that loses people in Year 9 to A-Level calculus. Lessons work through past paper questions with the tutor watching the working rather than only the answer.
- Topics
- Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, statistics, calculus
- Tutors
- 14, including two PGCE qualified teachers
- Also
- Functional Skills Level 2 Maths for adults
English
KS3 and GCSELanguage and Literature, both papers. Poetry comparison, the Shakespeare extract, unseen texts and the creative writing section that most students write off as unteachable when it is the most teachable part of the paper.
- Topics
- Comprehension, essay structure, poetry, Shakespeare, creative writing, grammar
- Tutors
- 11, including a former AQA examiner and a PGDE English teacher
- Also
- Functional Skills Level 2 English
Combined Science
KS3 and GCSEAll three sciences in one course, which is where students most often fall behind in one and let it drag the whole grade down. Includes the required practicals and mark scheme analysis, not just content.
- Topics
- Biology, Chemistry and Physics content, required practicals, six mark questions
- Tutors
- 13 across the three sciences
- Tiers
- Foundation and Higher, Trilogy and Synergy
Biology
KS3 to A-LevelSeparate Biology or the Biology half of Combined Science. The exam rewards precise language more than general understanding, which is why students who feel they know it still lose marks.
- Topics
- Cells, organisation, infection, bioenergetics, homeostasis, inheritance, ecology
- Tutors
- 5, including an MTech, an MSc and a medical doctor
- A-Level
- Covered, including examiner experienced tutors
Chemistry
KS3 to A-LevelThe quantitative topics are where Chemistry grades are actually decided. Moles, bonding, energetics and equilibrium get taught properly rather than skipped in favour of easier content.
- Topics
- Atomic structure, bonding, quantitative chemistry, energy changes, organic chemistry
- Tutors
- 4, including an MSc in Inorganic Chemistry
- A-Level
- Covered, including practical endorsement theory
Physics
KS3 and GCSEWaves, forces and electricity are where most students come unstuck, usually because they can rearrange the equation but cannot picture what is happening. Taught with worked examples rather than formula sheets.
- Topics
- Forces, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, particle model, required practicals
- Tutors
- 6, including a PhD in Physics
- A-Level
- Available on request, ask us before booking
Computer Science
KS3 to A-LevelThe theory paper and the practical coding pull in different directions, and most students are comfortable with one and frozen by the other. Taught by people who write code professionally as well as teach it.
- Topics
- Python, algorithms, data representation, networks, databases, cyber security, systems
- Tutors
- 7, including working software engineers
- A-Level
- Covered, plus IGCSE and O-Level
Religious Studies
KS3 to A-LevelThe twelve mark evaluation questions carry most of the paper, and students routinely answer them as description instead of argument. That gap is the whole job, and it is a teachable one.
- Topics
- Christianity, Islam, ethics, philosophy, world religions, evaluation essays
- Tutors
- 6, including an MA in Theology
- A-Level
- Covered, including Philosophy and Ethics
Subject by level
Which subjects run at which level?
Every subject runs at KS3 and GCSE. Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science and Religious Studies also run at A-Level. Physics and English at A-Level depend on tutor availability, so ask before you book.

Specifications
Which exam boards do you cover?
AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC with Eduqas. Lessons follow the student's own specification, so an Edexcel Higher student is not practising OCR Foundation questions.
Not sure which board the school uses?
Send us the course name or the specification code from the front of an exercise book or a past paper, and we will identify it before lessons start. Parents very often do not know, and it takes us a minute to check.
Some tutors also cover IGCSE and O-Level, which is listed on their individual profiles.
Scotland and Northern Ireland
SQA qualifications such as National 5 and Higher, and CCEA specifications, are not part of our standard coverage. Contact us before booking and we will tell you honestly whether we have somebody who can help with your specification.
We would rather say no at the enquiry stage than take a booking and teach the wrong course.
If your subject is missing
What if you do not teach the subject we need?
Then we will say so. Eight subjects is the honest list, and adding History, Geography, Psychology or Modern Languages to a page does not conjure up a tutor who can teach them.
Ask anyway
Tutors join through recommendation and the list changes. If we have somebody suitable we will say so, and if we do not we will tell you rather than putting a generalist in front of your child.
Send us a messageTwo subjects at once
Plenty of families run Maths with one tutor and Science with another. Some tutors cover both Maths and English together. Either way it is the same £30 a lesson.

Questions about subjects
Anything not answered here, message us and we will tell you straight.
Which subjects do you tutor?
Maths, English Language and Literature, Combined Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science and Religious Studies. All eight run at KS3 and GCSE, and most run at A-Level. We also teach Functional Skills Level 2 Maths and English for adults.
Do you teach History, Geography or Modern Languages?
No. Our tutors cover the eight subjects listed on this page. Ask us anyway if you need something else, because the tutor list changes, but we will not take a booking for a subject we cannot teach properly.
Does the price change by subject?
No. Every subject and every level is £30 a lesson, dropping to £27.50 on a term plan and £25 on an annual plan. An A-Level Chemistry hour costs the same as a KS3 Maths hour, which is not true of most agencies.
Do you cover Foundation and Higher tier?
Yes, both, and the tier is part of how we match a tutor. A Higher tier student aiming for a 7 needs different teaching from a Foundation student aiming for a 5, and putting them with the wrong tutor wastes everyone's time.
Can we do more than one subject?
Yes. Some families run two subjects with two different tutors, and some tutors cover two subjects themselves. Maths and English together is the most common combination. It is the same rate per lesson either way.
Do you teach Triple Science as well as Combined?
Yes. Separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics each have their own tutors and their own pages, and Combined Science is covered by tutors who teach across all three.
What about A-Level?
Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science and Religious Studies run at A-Level with specialist tutors. A-Level Physics and English depend on who is free that term, so ask before booking and we will confirm.
Do you cover primary school subjects?
No. We start at KS3, so Year 7 upwards. If you need primary support we would rather point you elsewhere than take the work.

Send the year group, the subject and what is going wrong. We will put forward one tutor who teaches exactly that, and set up a free 30-minute trial before anything is booked.
