Why Half Term
Mocks are closer than they look
October half term is the last calm stretch before mock season. Two focused mornings now mean your child goes into the mocks knowing what they know, and knowing what to fix.
Tiny Groups
No more than 5 students, so everyone gets real individual attention and nobody stays stuck.
Taught by an Examiner
Kate is a practising examiner. Students learn the exact technique and wording that turns understanding into marks.
Mornings Only
Finished by 1:00pm, so half term still feels like a holiday.

Reviews
What students & parents say
★★★★★
My son just finished the Science GCSE revision week with Kate, Chloe and Debs and came away feeling much more confident in all three Sciences. The excellent course structure, detailed knowledge and continual support provided over the past week has really helped him to focus and approach his Science GCSE with real optimism! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Thank you again.
★★★★★
The GCSE science revision course exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did my daughter grow in confidence and practice her exam technique, but she also enjoyed working in small groups and the warm, engaging style of all three teachers. Thank you for a brilliant course!
★★★★★
Expert tutor with creative sessions, group and 1:1. I have seen a huge improvement in confidence and love for the subject. Easter group sessions thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Kate.
