“Ivy Education helped me enormously in achieving the A-level grades I needed to secure a place at Durham University (A*AA). Their incredible tutors, support, and top quality feedback allowed me to prepare for my exams in the best way possible, helping me in organising my studies and mastering the topics that I found most challenging, with a particular focus on Chemistry. Their structured and well-suited sessions gave me so much more confidence, and helped me massively. Would 100% recommend!”

How We Pick Your Perfect Tutor

Step 1

We start by understanding your child and their goals.

Every GCSE student is in a different position, whether that is rebuilding confidence after a tough mock, pushing from a grade 6 towards an 8 or 9, or preparing for a resit. After an initial discussion with you, we assess exactly what your child needs, including the subjects they are taking, their exam boards and where they are losing marks, before we begin the search for the right tutor.

Step 2

We select the tutor best suited to your child, academically and personally.

With a clear picture of the student, we approach the GCSE tutors we feel are right for the assignment. We weigh up each one based on their availability, experience with the relevant subject and exam board, qualifications, and manner, so that the match works for both your child's learning goals and your family's requirements.

Step 4

Your tutor builds a bespoke GCSE plan.

Over the first few sessions, your child's tutor assesses their current level across the specification and identifies the specific topics holding their grade back. Your child then receives a clear plan built around their target grade, their exam board and the areas that will make the most difference, with progress reviewed as they go.

From the first session to the final exam, our Client Services team keeps in contact with you. Consistent progress matters to us, and we make sure the family, the student and the tutor are all happy with how the tuition is going.
