How do I track my child's progress?

Periodically, or on your request, you receive a detailed progress report highlighting strengths, and areas for improvement. Each week, your child will receive summative notes and bespoke homework tasks. Our tutors are always on-hand for review calls to let you monitor grade-tracking, offer personalised recommendations, and help tie their tuition to their schoolwork. To find out how we keep you informed, get in touch via email or phone.

How do I find the right tutor?

We do the matching for you. Either Call Us or Email Us for a free consultation, where we'll specify subject, exam level, and other personal preferences — and we’ll send curated Oxbridge-graduate tutor profiles. Enjoy a trial session—and if the fit isn’t perfect, we’ll arrange another trial at no charge.

How do you structure one-to-one online tuition sessions?

This varies from student to student. A session typically begins with a short quiz of the last session's work, followed by an interactive lesson focusing on the areas identified for improvement by the student and tutor, with real-time tutor feedback. Post-session, we provide downloadable resources and practice papers to reinforce learning for GCSE, A-Level, IB, AP, CBSE, HKDSE exams, and more. Ultimately, every student is different and we always aim to reflect this.

Can I schedule sessions at flexible times?

Yes—our online and London in-person slots run at all times, including evenings, weekends, and school holidays. We also accommodate international time zones for families in Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the USA.

What distinguishes Oxbridge tutors?

Oxbridge graduates don’t just teach, but mentor. With advanced subject mastery and refined pedagogical methods, our tutors contextualise complex concepts and personalise strategies, driving grade improvements. We harness the learning techniques that characterise the success of the famous Oxford and Cambridge tuition systems to deliver an optimal service.

Do you support international curricula and students relocating abroad?

Yes—we specialise in IB (MYP & DP), American AP exams, Indian CBSE & ICSE, Singapore Cambridge curriculum, and Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE). We also assist expatriate families moving to or from London, Dubai, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, USA, and China with seamless continuity in exam preparation.
