Real results from UMG families, in their own words: Maths 3 to 5, English 3 to 6, Physics 6 to 9.
Taught by someone who sat the same papers, and excelled in them.
Every tutor holds at least an A* in the subject they teach, so they know the specification and the mark scheme from the inside. We interview for how clearly someone explains an idea, not only for what they scored, and each student is personally matched rather than assigned to whoever is free.

Went well
Confident and accurate with linear equations, and checked every answer by substituting back in.
Focus on next
Simultaneous equations need more practice, especially choosing which variable to remove first.
To improve
Questions 1 to 15 on the worksheet, due before Friday.

Questions
What parents usually ask first.
It is a free introductory lesson with a tutor we have matched to your child, so you can both see whether the fit is right. There is one free trial per student and it is subject to tutor availability. We confirm the date and time with you by email or phone. It is not a commitment to book anything afterwards, on either side.
Every tutor holds a minimum of an A* in the subject they teach. Each one is interviewed and DBS checked before they are accepted onto the platform. Every tutor’s A* grade and identity are verified before they teach.
There is no commitment after a trial. If it is not the right fit, you can choose another tutor for a trial.
