Are essays limiting your child's grade?
Join our Tuition Programme: a live lesson, a real past-paper essay, and a practising exam-board examiner marking it. Every week.

- They write an essay, get it back marked, and still don't know what to fix.
- The teacher says it's fine, but the essays are stuck on 17/25.
- You see them working, but their grade isn't moving.
- What separates a good essay from a mediocre one is a mystery, to them and to you.
- And the grades they need for uni feel further away every term.
It's hard to know what to do as a parent, and even harder as a student going through it. External guidance from real examiners and tutors who have deep subject knowledge is the way forward.
How a grade actually moves.
A lesson, a past-paper question or a full paper, an examiner. Every single week.
Three steps, every week.
One good lesson doesn't move a grade. The loop does. Their feedback sets what the next lesson covers, and it goes again.
The live lesson.
One hour, live, 1-to-1 or in a small group, on the single skill their last paper says is costing them marks. They draw on the board, talk through their reasoning, and get corrected on the spot.
The assignment.
A real past-paper question, or a full paper, sent with the deadline and the exact points to fix from their last piece. Timed sittings run on a clock that starts when they do.
Examiner feedback.
Not their tutor. An independent examiner marks it to the real scheme, annotating the script line by line, then sends the marks and the comments back.
Akshay: B to A*, then Cambridge.
Every assignment he wrote, in the order he wrote them. No selection, no best-of.
Each point is a real grade, marked by exam-board examiners against that paper's own boundaries, so hard and easy papers compare fairly.
And the whole cohort, against the national spread
Share of students at each grade: our 29 reported Year 13 results against the national A-Level Economics distribution for summer 2026. Nationally 17% of entries land on D, E or U; none of ours did. Individual results vary.
Five stars, over and over.
Google and Trustpilot.
Four questions, twenty minutes.
Sam takes these himself. You'll leave knowing the specific thing costing your child marks, and the next past-paper question for them to write.
Students and parents together works best. Join on a laptop if you can, so we can go through the work face to face.
Where the marks are going
Their board, their year, their last grade. We name the specific thing costing them marks. Usually it's evaluation, not knowledge.
Group or one-to-one
Not everyone needs the same thing. We'll tell you which fits, which evening has space, and which tutor is the right match.
Your questions
Anything you want to ask before deciding. Most parents have a few, and we're happy to talk through whatever is on your mind.
The plan and the price
Exactly what it costs, exactly when it starts. You decide in your own time, and nothing is signed on the call.
Tutors teach. Examiners mark.
The people behind every lesson and every piece of feedback.

Common questions.
Which exam boards do you cover?
AQA, Edexcel (A and IAL), Eduqas and OCR.
Can I reschedule booked lessons?
Yes. Reschedule up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time inside the booking portal: no email tennis required. Rescheduling within 24 hours of the lesson is not possible.
How does booking work?
The links in our 'Book Now' section enable you to book both groups and one-to-one sessions. Pick any open slot that works best for you. Pay securely by card and you're locked in. Confirmation and Zoom link arrive with you instantly.
Is this right for my child?
Our style of tuition works well for those who are committed to weekly tuition, complete all homework assignments by their respective deadlines, reflect on feedback and want to improve.
Is it possible to swap between group tuition and one-to-one?
Absolutely. Many students combine both one-to-one and group sessions in the build up to exams. However, we do require that students stick with any group tuition booked for that half term: the groups are courses of approximately 8 weeks, designed to ensure a consistent group environment lesson-to-lesson.
What online tools do you use?
Zoom for all online calls. Bitpaper, our online whiteboard. Google Sheets for progress tracking. Email automation to keep everyone in the loop.
How quickly do we receive feedback and in what format?
Essays and papers completed for homework are externally marked by an examiner and typically returned within 72 hours. Students and parents receive an annotated PDF and feedback summary via email.
Can you provide Oxbridge application assistance?
Yes. Sam is a Cambridge Economics graduate, familiar with the common entrance exams (TSA, TMUA etc.), personal statement and interviews.
My child is already predicted a top grade. How can tuition help them?
75% of university applicants do not achieve their predicted grades according to a 2020 study. Final grades are typically lower, as teachers predict optimistically to avoid disadvantaging their students in the application process. So even if school are predicting top grades, it's sensible to take predictions with caution. Nonetheless, even the best students can benefit from tuition.
Do you offer intensive sessions during holidays?
Yes, subject to availability we offer intensive one-to-one sessions, with some students taking up to 5 hours tuition per week in the build-up to exams.
What kind of progress can we expect?
Students typically improve between 1 and 3% on assignment scores per session, primarily based on past paper questions. A bump of 10% equates roughly to one grade boundary. As a result, an improvement around 1-2 grades is typical per 10 lessons, assuming assignments are completed.
How much work is assigned between lessons?
Early in the academic year, an essay or series of multiple choice questions is typical, about 1 hour of work. As exams approach, we will progressively move towards full past papers. The official time constraint on these is about 1.5 hours, though early attempts are expected to take longer.
My child has ADHD. Will this work for them?
Yes, though we would recommend one-to-one sessions on a case-by-case basis. Our notes are available 24/7 for students to work through at their own pace. Several current students with ADHD have moved up two grade boundaries since we began working together.
Do you cover micro or macroeconomics first, or both simultaneously?
We cover micro and macroeconomics in both Year 12 and 13, consistent with the design of the A Level course. A select number of schools prefer to tackle one or the other first in Year 12, though we are not keen on this approach as it requires students to revise content they might not have touched in over a year for Year 13 exams.
Are Year 12 groups suitable for those who haven't studied GCSE Economics?
Yes. We'll be starting from the basics. For those who are keen to get ahead, we recommend a summer reading list to those booked on for September.
How is progress tracked across time?
Results are recorded within a Google Sheet for reference at any time, enabling progress tracking.
Do you tutor A Level Maths?
Yes. Though not our primary offering, Sam does take students for both A Level Maths and Further Maths. In practice both are often needed for university applications, especially Oxbridge Economics or courses such as Economics and Maths.
What university did Sam attend and what did he study?
Sam studied Economics at King's College, Cambridge.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. If you're not 100% satisfied after 3 lessons, we'll refund you in full.
