Your questions answered! (FAQs)

Now that I’ve provided you details of the benefits your child will derive from the course and its features, I’d like to answer some of the burning questions you may have in mind.

How will the Booster Classes be delivered?

Classes are delivered online via live video on Zoom.

Will the lessons be one to one?

Yes, the lessons will be 1:1 and tailored to your child’s needs.

However, in the case that there is more than one student doing the same subject in that slot, the lesson time will be double. For this, there is a limit of 4 students per session.

Who will teach my child?

Our Summer Booster classes are taught by highly qualified professional teachers, with several years of teaching experience. More can be found about our teachers here.

My child isn’t going into Year 11 or 13. Can they still enrol for Summer Booster Classes?

Absolutely. While we specialise in preparing students for their final year of GCSEs and A levels, these classes can definitely be tailored to younger students who will be taught materials according to their requirements.

Can I book more than one Summer Booster for the same subject?

Yes. A student can book two sessions for the same subjects, so for example 4 days for GCSE in the same subject. This will be priced accordingly.

Who is this programme suitable for?

Young people who are studying for GCSE (including IGCSE) or A-level and who are of at least average ability.

Our programmes are not suitable for young people who are academically very weak and who may, perhaps, not be capable of achieving Grade 5 at GCSE or Grade C at A-level.

No, it does not necessarily mean that they are currently working at that grade before they join us.

Most of our students are aiming for grades between B and A*, but many are not at that level before they join us. Some of them, perhaps, have unfulfilled potential and the value we add is to help notch up their grade.

What programmes do you have and for which age group?

A-level (Y13 or upper sixth) those who are starting the final year of A-level (A2) in September 2022

Summer Booster; Saturday Classes from September to May; Half Term Intensive (held in October, February and May half term break); Christmas Intensive Revision; Easter Intensive Revision

A-level (Y12 or Lower sixth) those who are starting the first year of A-level (AS) in September 2022

GCSE Y11 (5th form) those who are starting the final year of GCSE or IGCSE in September 2022

GCSE (Y10 – those in the first year of GCSE in September – also suitable for IGCSE)

Summer Booster; Saturday Classes – from September to May; Consultation Tuition (one-to-one)

The GCSE Intensive revision is primarily designed for Y11; however, Y10 students often join and they benefit greatly – particularly those who are very academic).

Programmes for Younger Students

KS3 (Y9 and Y8 – also suitable for some strong Y7 students)

Summer Booster; Saturday Classes – October to May; Consultation Tuition (one-to-one). Our KS3 courses are designed mainly for Y9 and Y8 students; however, Y7 students often join – particularly a child who is very academic, as he or she needs to score high marks in the diagnostic test before joining.
