What happens if a group is already full?
We hold a waiting list per group and never add a seventh chair to a room. If a slot will not open within a fortnight we will say so at the trial session and suggest the nearest alternative time or level, rather than leaving you waiting on the list indefinitely.
Can we make up a missed session?
Yes. Tell us before the session and your child can join the equivalent group later in the same week where one runs, or attend the Saturday clinic for that stage. Missed sessions without notice are not refunded, but the booklets and worked answers for that week are always sent home.
Do you teach our school's exam board?
We teach AQA, Edexcel and OCR at GCSE and A-Level. Tell us the board at enrolment and your child is placed in the matching group. Where a group mixes boards, the shared content is taught together and the board-specific material is set as targeted practice.
Will this add to my child's homework load?
Only lightly, and deliberately so. We set one short consolidation task a week — typically twenty to thirty minutes — chosen to reinforce the session rather than to fill time. School work always takes priority, and tutors will adjust if a deadline week is heavy.
How will I know whether it is working?
Beyond the half-term written note, tutors are available for a short conversation at the end of any session. If something changes at school — a disappointing mock, a new set placement, a topic that has not landed — tell us and we will adjust the plan the following week.
How much notice do we need to give to leave?
Half a term. There is no contract and no minimum commitment beyond that; let us know before the current half-term ends and nothing further is billed. Places are released to the waiting list at that point.
