GCSE and IGCSE preparation

GCSEs are usually sat at the end of Year 11. They present a significant milestone in your child’s academic life; a period filled with new responsibilities, higher expectations, and an increased need for independent learning.

A big milestone

We’ve helped many families at these crossroads, and know that it is a critical turning point that can shape not only your child’s grades but also their enthusiasm for the future stages of their academic trajectory.

“Before starting sessions with Thaddeus I was really struggling with Maths. My end of year 10 mock result was a grade 5 (41%), and I honestly couldn’t see how I could get my work on track in the lead up to my IGCSEs. I lacked confidence and felt totally lost during lessons.

Thaddeus completely changed this. He broke down topic content clearly and made sure I understood each topic area well enough that I could teach the content to him myself. He was patient and always happy to answer my questions, no matter how silly they seemed.

Gradually, my confidence started to grow. I felt much more comfortable with the material and even started enjoying Maths! Thaddeus’ support and guidance were invaluable. 

I was absolutely thrilled when I got my results and found out I’d achieved a Grade 8! This was way beyond what I ever thought possible. I’m so grateful to Thaddeus for his help. He didn’t just teach me Maths; he gave me the confidence to succeed.”
