A. Once you have provided us with your details, we typically appoint a tutor within 48 hours. Thereafter the tutor will contact you directly via phone (or email if preferred) to arrange a time for the first lesson.
Q. Do I need the GCSE to take the A Level?
A. A GCSE pass is not required to sit the A-Level at our centre, but you may wish to consider arranging some focused one-to-one tuition to consolidate the key GCSE skills required for the A-Level.
Q. I wish to take some GCSE/IGCSE qualifications. Which would you recommend?
A. We cannot recommend specific qualifications although we can advise on the options available. The final decision remains with you, but please remember that access to further and higher education and employment are often dependent on securing specific qualifications most notably passes at GCSE in English Language and Maths.

Unfortunately we are currently unable to offer AP and SAT examinations.
Q. What is the difference between a ‘course’ and an ‘examination’?
A. We offer both fast track courses and private candidate examination entry.
Courses involve regular group lessons that are structured and teach you the skills and topics you need to take an examination. The examination is then taken at the end of the course. If you want to be taught the material for the examinations, our fast track courses are ideal.
Examinations are the final assessments by which you gain a qualification. If you do not require any teaching and just want to sit the examination, you can do this by registering as a private candidate. Of course, you can still request some one-to-one tuition to help you prepare, if needed.
Q. Are there any age restrictions for taking examinations at your centre?
A. We support students of all ages. We have supported students as young as 7 with GCSE Maths and Science examinations and individuals in their 80’s with various qualifications that were of interest.
Q. How do I register for examinations?
