The whole GCSE package, managed for you
Most parents come to us juggling tutors, a revision app, textbooks and a lot of guesswork. Prep replaces all of it with one plan.
Live lessons, never recorded lectures
Every session is taught in real time by a specialist GCSE tutor, so your child can ask the question the moment they're stuck, and the teacher can adapt the lesson in the moment based on what students do not know or cannot do.
Marked work every fortnight
Set work and assessments are marked against real mark schemes, with written feedback naming the next thing to fix.
Board-specific workbooks
Printable workbooks come with every lesson — no hunting for resources.
A named programme lead
One person who knows your child, answers your messages the same day and keeps the plan on track.
Initial diagnostic tests & Prep Profile
Students complete diagnostic assessments in their subjects so independent work is tailored to their specific gaps. Parents and students receive an initial Prep Profile showing strengths and gaps in knowledge and skills.
Monthly parent report
Every month parents receive a clear report covering attendance, topics covered, assessment scores, remaining gaps and exactly what to focus on next.
Genuinely excellent teachers
We hire slowly and carefully. Only 1 in 12 applicants makes it through to teach a Prep group, so every tutor is a subject specialist you can trust.
Prep Study Hall
Once per fortnight, students can log in to complete independent work while a tutor is on hand to answer questions and give feedback — structured support outside the live lesson.
A clear starting point. Expert teaching. Progress you can see.
From the first conversation to results day, every step helps your child understand what to work on and build the confidence to tackle it.
- 01
Tell us about your child
Start with a free 20-minute consultation. We'll talk through their grades, goals and confidence, and explain how Prep could support them. A useful conversation with someone who understands teaching, with no pressure to commit.
- 02
Discover what will move them forward
Our diagnostic assessments reveal strengths and learning gaps. Your child's personal Prep Profile sets out what they already know and the topics and skills to prioritise, giving their GCSE preparation a clear focus from day one.
- 03
Learn with a teacher who knows them
Live lessons with the same carefully selected subject specialist each week build understanding, confidence and continuity. With groups matched to Foundation or Higher tier, teaching focuses on the right level of challenge.
- 04
Know what's improving and what's next
Every fortnight, assessments and personalised feedback show what's sticking and where support is still needed. Our Teach. Check. Practice. approach gives your child clear next steps—and gives you a clearer picture of their progress.

Assessment Feedback

GCSE grades improvement (on average for students that learn with us for a whole year)
“Maths had become a nightly argument in our house. Two terms with Prep and she walked into her mock calm and prepared.”
“The fortnightly assessment makes this a full package. Daniel could see the progress he was making, and it really motivated him. With not a lot of marking and feedback going on at school, this really helped him”
“Small groups meant I actually got directly asked questions. My tutor knew which bits I always got wrong and kept coming back to them until I didn't.”
