Timeline
How it works
Step 1
Find the perfect mentor
After getting to know your child, we’ll suggest a mentor pairing based on relevant experiences, backgrounds and matching interests. Our mentors span a huge range of backgrounds from working at the Civil Service and Netflix, to the world of journalism and the West End.
Step 2
Start GCSE tuition
Using a model developed in collaboration with world-leading schools, students work through our GCSE programme which includes all the academic tuition and mentoring needed to get students ready.
Step 3
Monitor progress
You will receive progress reports following each of the sessions from your mentor and regular check-ins from our team. This ensures you have oversight over the process and that we’re working towards the results you’re looking for.
