I’m in Ireland – will this still work for me?
We’re not including CCEA in our exam boards this year, as it’s a little too differently set up (they still allow for students to take exams in January, rather than all at the end of the course. If your child’s exams are mostly with CCEA, we won’t be very helpful to you. We’re sorry.
I’m in Wales – will this still work for me?
GCSEs in Wales are graded differently (you sensibly stuck with A*-G), but we will be including WJEC (the Welsh exam board)-specific information in the programme too.
Why shouldn’t I just get a private tutor if I’m worried about my child’s results?
Private tutors are a great way to improve a specific grade. If it’s just one subject you’re concerned about, then that’s the way to go. We however, provide you as a parent with the tools you need to help your child improve all their grades, by improving their study skills overall. We’ll also help you…
What if I want to cancel?
You can cancel the monthly plan at any time, and we won’t take any more payments. We’re always happy to hear from you, so if you feel we’ve missed anything, or could be doing better, then please do let us know!

My child is doing {XYZ} exam board – will your programme give us the right advice for that?
We will be creating exam-board specific materials – there will be a bank of documents for each subject and each exam board that will have the specification, revision checklists, and past papers. Content for many subjects is pretty similar across exam boards (maths particularly for example), but for those that do vary, we’ll give advice…
Am I going to have to find the time for this?
Other than reading the emails, and watching any videos you are interested in, it’s really up to you how long you spend getting involved. The aim is to make our tips things you could discuss over the dinner table with your child, since we know you’re busy!
Isn’t a lot of this stuff on the internet anyway?
You can find quite a bit of it, if you have the time to search, and you know what to search for. Trouble is, there’s a lot of bad advice out there, as well as a lot of old advice. We do the filtering-out-the-rubbish bit, so you don’t have to. If it helps, think of…
