Common Questions About Starting Mid-Term

Is it worth starting tutoring halfway through a term?

Yes — in most cases. A half-term (6-7 weeks) is enough to close one grade boundary in GCSE subjects. The key is focus: we identify the 2-3 topics where your child is losing the most marks and target those directly. Starting mid-term with a clear plan beats waiting until next term and losing momentum.

Do you prorate fees for mid-term starts?

Yes. You only pay for the sessions your child attends from their start date to the end of term. No full-term commitment required — we calculate the exact number of remaining sessions and invoice accordingly.

What's the minimum number of sessions needed to see progress?

We recommend a minimum of 4-6 sessions to establish a routine and see measurable improvement. Fewer than 4 sessions and it's difficult to build momentum. For GCSE exam preparation, 8-10 sessions is the sweet spot for moving up one grade boundary.

Can you do online tutoring for London-based students?

Absolutely. All our sessions are available online via Zoom with interactive whiteboard, screen sharing, and recorded sessions for revision. We have students across London — from Hackney to Hounslow — and the results are identical to in-person tuition.

What if my child is behind in multiple subjects?

We recommend starting with the subject where they're struggling most — usually Maths or Science — and adding a second subject once they've built confidence. Splitting a 1-hour session across two subjects (30 min each) rarely works; focus gets results.

How is catch-up different from regular tutoring?

Catch-up tutoring is more intensive and targeted. Instead of following the school curriculum week-by-week, we diagnose knowledge gaps from earlier terms, prioritise high-impact topics, and build a condensed catch-up plan. Most students close a 2-3 month gap in 6-8 weeks with twice-weekly sessions.
