Pricing & how it works
One monthly price, a set number of live sessions each week, and everything else included. We don't bill by the hour, we don't charge a joining fee, and we don't ask for a term's commitment up front. If a plan stops being the right fit, you change it or stop it before the next billing date.
Three plans, all billed monthly. The difference between them is how much live tutor time the student gets each week. Everything that isn't live time is the same on all three.
£129/month
2 live sessions per week
For a student who is broadly coping with the course but keeps losing marks in the same places. Enough contact time to stay ahead of new content and clear up each week's confusion before it stacks.
Most chosen
£219/month
4 live sessions per week
For grade jumps. Two sessions on new content, two on past papers and technique, so the student is being taught and tested in the same week rather than months apart.
£349/month
Unlimited sessions, final 8 weeks
For the run-up to papers. Book as much tutor time as the student can usefully absorb, including short 30-minute clinics the night before a paper.

We don't hold material back for higher tiers. A student on Essentials at £129 sees exactly the same library as a student on Exam Sprint at £349. The only thing that changes between plans is live tutor time.
Everything below is unlimited and available from the day the subscription starts.
Full A-Level content for Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Economics, broken into 10 to 25 minute topic videos rather than hour-long lectures. Students rewatch the specific bit they lost, not the whole lesson.
Worked solutions filmed question by question, with the tutor saying out loud where marks are actually awarded and where students typically drop them. Sorted by paper, year and topic.
Separate packs for AQA, Edexcel and OCR, because the specifications genuinely differ. Condensed notes, required practicals or proof lists where relevant, and command-word guidance for that board's mark schemes.
Written by the tutor, not auto-generated. What was covered, what the student is now secure on, what is still weak, and what changes next. Sent monthly on Essentials, fortnightly on Accelerate and weekly on Exam Sprint.
Built around the student's real week including school, other subjects and part-time work. Reviewed and adjusted as mocks and grades come in rather than written once and forgotten.
Live 1-on-1 and small-group sessions are recorded and saved to the student's account, so revision in April can go back to a September explanation.
£349 a month, unlimited live sessions, and a timetable that counts down to the actual dates on the student's exam board timetable. It exists because the last two months of A-Levels don't work like the rest of the year. Students stop needing new content and start needing volume, timing and someone marking their answers the way an examiner would.
8
weeks
of unlimited sessions
A full timed paper per subject under exam conditions, marked hard. The result sets the priority order for everything that follows.
Daily short sessions on the weakest three or four topics, each finished with questions from real past papers on that topic only.
Two to three complete papers a week, each walked through with the tutor afterwards. Focus shifts to timing, working out and command words.
Short 30-minute clinics, including the evening before a paper, for last checks on formulae, required practicals, definitions and structure.
Most families move up from Essentials or Accelerate around late February or early March, once mock results are back and the school has confirmed predicted grades. You can switch at any point, and upgrading takes effect immediately with the difference charged pro rata. After the 8 weeks you can drop back down or stop entirely. There is no requirement to keep paying £349 past the exam period, and we will remind you before the next billing date.
Honest caveat on "unlimited": it means we don't cap how many sessions you book, but it's still subject to your tutor's availability, and in April and May tutors get busy. Students who book their sprint slots at the start of the block get the times they want.
No card details, no obligation, and it isn't a sales call. Twenty minutes on video with a member of our teaching team, usually with the student and at least one parent on the line. The point is to work out whether we can actually help, and if so, with whom and at what pace.
Within two working days you get a short written summary: the specific topics we think are costing marks, which plan we'd recommend and why, and the name of the tutor we'd match the student to.
From the moment you confirm a plan, here is exactly what happens and roughly when. Nothing here needs chasing from your side.
Day 0
You pick Essentials, Accelerate or Exam Sprint and pay the first month. That date becomes your monthly billing date. The student gets a login with the full recorded library and the revision packs for their board unlocked straight away.
Days 1–2
Your tutor sends two or three slot options that fit the week we discussed on the call. Once agreed, those become the student's fixed weekly slots so it becomes routine rather than a negotiation every week.
Day 3
A 10-minute run through the lesson room before the first real session: shared whiteboard, screen sharing, uploading a photo of handwritten working, and where session recordings appear afterwards. Works in a browser, nothing to install.
Week 1
The first session includes a short baseline task on the topics flagged in the diagnostic. The tutor marks it the same way the exam board would so we're measuring against the real standard from the start.
Week 2
The tutor produces a written weekly timetable covering session times, independent work, and which recorded lessons and past papers to do between sessions. It's a document you can print and put on a wall.
End of week 2
A written report by email: baseline result, topics now secure, topics still weak, what the tutor is changing next, and an honest view on whether the current plan has enough hours in it. If the answer is that Essentials isn't enough, we'll say so, and if four sessions a week is more than the student needs we'll say that too.
Both formats are available on all three plans at the same monthly price, so this is a teaching decision rather than a budget one. Small groups are capped at four students, always same subject, same exam board and roughly the same working level.
Same price on every plan
Same price on every plan
A common Accelerate setup is two 1-on-1 sessions on the weak topics and two group sessions on past-paper technique. You can change the split month to month by telling your tutor, and there's no price difference either way. If you're not sure, start 1-on-1 for the first month while the tutor works out where the gaps are, then move some of it into a group once the student is more settled.
A plan buys a number of live sessions per week, and you decide how those sessions are split across subjects. Two subjects on Essentials means one session each per week. Two subjects on Accelerate usually means two and two, or three and one if one subject is in more trouble than the other.
Each subject gets its own specialist tutor, so a student doing Maths and Chemistry has two tutors, both of whom can see the shared revision timetable and progress notes. You get one report per subject at your plan's frequency, not one combined report that skims both.
| Plan | 1 subject | 2 subjects | 3 subjects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials £129 | 2 per week | 1 + 1 | Not recommended |
| Accelerate £219 | 4 per week | 2 + 2 or 3 + 1 | 2 + 1 + 1 |
| Exam Sprint £349 | Unlimited | Unlimited, split as needed | Unlimited, split as needed |
Sibling or second-student arrangements are handled case by case. Email us and we'll quote it properly rather than guessing on a page.
The admin questions, answered properly. If something here isn't clear, ask us on the diagnostic call before you pay anything.
Still unsure? Send us the question and we'll answer in writing.
Your first payment is taken on the day you confirm your plan, and that date becomes your monthly billing date. It covers the following 30 days of live sessions plus full resource library access. We do not charge per hour and there is no joining fee.
Yes. Cancel any time from your account or by emailing us before your next billing date, and your plan runs to the end of the paid month. No cancellation fee and no minimum term.
You can pause a subscription for up to eight weeks in a rolling year. Billing stops for the pause and your tutor slot is held for the first four weeks. Recorded lessons and revision packs stay available while paused.
Cancel or move a session with 12 hours notice and we reschedule it in the same month at no cost. Sessions cancelled with less notice count as taken, because the tutor has held the slot. We will always try to fit a catch up in if the tutor has space.
Upgrading takes effect immediately, and we charge the difference pro rata for the days remaining. Downgrading takes effect at your next billing date so nobody loses sessions they have already paid for.
Tell us after any session and we will rematch, usually within three working days. There is no charge for a swap and no limit on it. The new tutor gets the student's progress notes and revision timetable before the first session.
If something has gone wrong on our side, such as a tutor not showing up or a session dropping out for technical reasons, we credit or refund that session. We do not refund unused sessions in a month that was otherwise delivered, since the plan is a subscription rather than a session pack.
Twenty minutes, no card details, and you'll come away with a written view of where the marks are going even if you never sign up. Tell us the subject, exam board and target grade and we'll come back with call times within one working day.
