GCSE English, Maths & Science Tuition Classes

Our GCSE group tuition classes are live, online, weekly sessions where one teacher works with a small, focused group of up to 8 students to provide targeted academic support in a particular subject. It acts as a cost-effective, interactive alternative to 1:1 tutoring, allowing for peer learning, enhanced social skills, and tailored instruction.

Key Features and Benefits

• Small Group Size: Our group sizes usually average at about 6 students per group, allowing for students to get more individual attention.
• Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than private, one-to-one, tuition, making it accessible to more families.
• Effective Results: Our students usually boost their grades by 2 grade boundaries, particularly if they joined close to the start of the academic year.
• Collaborative Learning: Students benefit from group discussions, shared ideas, and a social environment.
• Targeted Support: Focuses on specific curriculum areas (e.g., maths, science) to close learning gaps and support exam technique.
• Versatile Delivery: Students can join the session from wherever they are! Giving your family more flexibility.

Group tuition is often considered a great balance between, personalised attention and collaborative engagement.

Each lesson costs £22.50 + VAT
Depending when you start your sessions, you will be charged via monthly instalments until May Half Term (for Year 11s) or mid-July (for Year 10s), and your instalment amount will be calculated to ensure that you pay only £22.50 + VAT per lesson until the end of the series. To work out how much your monthly instalment will be based on your start date, use our handy Payment Calculator on this page!

*Our monthly instalment system is designed to ensure that your overall tuition cost is spread out so that your monthly charge is as affordable as possible. Please be aware that if you book a class towards the end of a calendar month, as instalments are changed on the 1st of each month, you may find yourself paying your first two instalments close together. However, the sooner you start paying for your class, the smaller your monthly charge will be.

For one-to-one tuition, our tutors set their own rates. As a guideline, tuition starts from £65 per hour. For an exact quote, let us know what you need and we'll call you with pricing.

After you finish registering and pay your first instalment, you'll receive an email with:

• Dates for future monthly payments

There is no single "hardest" GCSE, as difficulty is subjective and depends on the student. However, based on our students' requests, subjects like Mathematics and certain modern languages are frequently cited as difficult due to problem-solving demands and complex concepts. Subjects with a high emphasis on subjective interpretation or extensive memorisation, such as English Literature and History, are also considered challenging. Within the Sciences, Physics is usually mentioned as the "trickiest".

Yes, CTG now offers a free trial of one subject. This is a great opportunity for your child to experience a class and understand our teaching methodology and approach before committing to regular classes. This can be great to boost confidence for those unsure about group tuition. A small booking fee of £3.20 applies to book your free trial. Visit: https://www.capitaltuitiongroup.com/gcse-tuition-classes-free-trial for more details and to book up a spot!

Yes and no. If your child is looking into tuition nearer the start of the school year, tuition once a week will make a noticeable difference to their confidence with a subject. However, if you haven't started yet and exam season is approaching, it would sensible to invest in more frequent tuition to make their revision and exam preparation as productive as possible. If you want to increase the frequency of their tuition, reach out to us to chat about One-To-One tuition or explore our Revision Boosters during the school holidays.

The good news is the boundary for a grade 9 typically ranges from 70-85% depending on the subject. This means that getting a grade 9 is actually more achievable than it seems, however getting a grade 9 is definitely still a mark of genuine academic excellence.
