GCSE, from India to the UK
Online GCSE tuition on your child's exam board
GCSE grades are decided by the mark scheme, not the textbook. Two students who know the same maths can be a grade apart because one writes the method the way the board credits it and the other does not. That is the whole case for a GCSE tutor, and it is also the test of one: a tutor who cannot name your child's board and specification will teach the wrong paper.
Our GCSE classes are 1-on-1 on a shared whiteboard with a tutor who holds a master's degree in the subject. From the first month of Year 10 the class works from the board's own past papers: a question attempted alone, marked aloud against the published mark scheme with the method marks shown, then a similar question straight after. Every class is recorded, and the marked scripts go to the parent.

Knowledge base
UK families ask
1Are online GCSE tutors from India good?
They are when they teach to the UK exam board's specification and mark scheme, which ours do. The advantage of an Indian tutor is master's-level subject knowledge and a great deal of practice; the risk is a tutor who teaches Indian methods to a British paper and loses the method marks. Ask the tutor to name your child's board and specification code, and ask to see a past paper they have marked.
2Which exam boards do you cover?
AQA, Edexcel (Pearson) and OCR for England, WJEC and Eduqas for Wales, and SQA Nationals for Scotland. We teach to one board per student: the one the school uses. The specification codes are in the table above.
3When should GCSE tuition start?
The start of Year 10 for a subject the child finds hard, because the maths tier and the science route are decided from Year 10 results and it is easier to earn the Higher tier than to argue for it later. For a child already in Year 11, we begin with a full past paper to find the gaps; six months is enough to move a grade in one subject.
4Foundation or Higher tier: who decides?
The school, usually from the Year 10 end-of-year exam and the Year 11 mocks. Foundation maths is capped at grade 5; Higher runs from 4 to 9. A student working securely at grade 5 or above should be on Higher. If your child is on the border, the evidence that changes the school's mind is a marked Higher paper.
5What time are classes for UK families?
4 to 8 pm UK time on weekdays, and Saturday and Sunday mornings. Britain is 4.5 hours behind India in summer and 5.5 in winter, so UK after-school hours are Indian evenings; our tutors teach the later slots in shifts. The class time stays the same for you all year.
6How much does it cost?
About £8 to £10 an hour for a live 1-on-1 class with a master's-qualified tutor, the same one every week, with the recording of every class, notes and marked homework included. Billed monthly, no package, no contract. A UK agency charges £25 to £60 for the same hour.
7Is the first class free?
Yes. A 30-minute 1-on-1 lesson on the whiteboard on your child's current topic, at a UK after-school time. Parents sit in. After it we send a short plan and the exact rate, and you decide. No card, no obligation.
8Who are the tutors, and is it safe?
A team of 20+ women educators, each with a master's degree in her subject, teaching online from Chandigarh since 2018. Parents are welcome in every class, every class is recorded and the recording is yours, and the tutor never contacts the child outside the class.
