What your child gets — every week, online from anywhere.
Three things London families consistently can't find at the price point — and that we deliver as standard, not as a paid upgrade.
A specialist tutor — matched to the subject and the child.
We don't allocate the next available tutor. We match a specialist who teaches that exact subject week in, week out, and whose teaching style fits how your child actually learns. If the chemistry isn't right after the trial we swap the tutor — free, no awkward conversation.
A plan built around the gaps, not the syllabus.
Most London tutoring quietly walks the syllabus end to end — including topics your child already understands. We diagnose first, then plan against the topics actually costing the grade. Lessons sequence around real weak points, not a textbook contents page, which is why families see grade movement faster.
A six-weekly written progress review.
Every six weeks the tutor sends a short written report: what's been covered, what's improved, what's still wobbly, the recommended focus for the next half-term. You see the trajectory in writing, not just 'the lesson went well' — and the founder reviews any flagged report personally.
Areas covered
London families today — online only at present.
Our base is in Uxbridge (UB8). When in-person tutoring launches, the planned first catchment is the parts of west London we can reach without the tutor's day collapsing into traffic — broadly the boroughs within a sensible drive of UB8. We're deliberately not publishing a borough list yet because we'd rather under-promise: if a borough is on the public list, a parent in that borough should be able to expect availability, and we're not there yet anywhere.
Today every London family on our roster is tutored online, working with the same matched specialist tutor every week. The lesson runs on a shared interactive whiteboard with recordings available for revision.
When the in-person waitlist opens we'll write to existing online families in the catchment first, then publish the date here. Until then the honest answer for every London postcode is online.
- Base: Uxbridge (UB8). Planned first in-person catchment: west London.

In-person availability
In-person tutoring — not yet available, and we'll say so.
In-person tutoring is on the roadmap, with London as the planned first city — specifically west London out of our Uxbridge HQ. It is not something we can deliver today, anywhere. We'd rather state that plainly than imply availability and then struggle to honour it.
Today every Legacy family in London is tutored online, with the same matched specialist tutor every week. When in-person launches, the trial format will mirror the weekly lesson — at home, free, no card needed; until then the trial is online too. Tell us your postcode in the trial form and we'll flag you when an in-person tutor opens up in your area.
Online option
Online with us, today — the same tutoring families across London are getting now.
Online with us isn't a downgrade — and right now, it's the option that's live for every London postcode. The lesson runs on a shared interactive whiteboard — your child writes on the same digital page as the tutor in real time, the tutor annotates the working live, and questions don't have to wait a week because the platform supports async messaging between sessions. Recordings of every lesson are available for revision.
If you'd like the full online setup before deciding — equipment, software, safeguarding, the lesson recordings, time-zone flexibility for families who travel — the dedicated online page covers it in detail. Either way, the trial lesson is free and the same tutor would work with your child weekly thereafter.
Local exam boards
Exam boards in London — and how that shapes the tutoring.
There's a slight regional pattern in London: schools here lean a little more towards Edexcel for maths and the sciences than the national average, where AQA tends to be the more common board. That's a small skew, not a rule — a lot of London schools sit AQA or OCR, and once we know your child's specific school we know exactly which board they're on.
What matters is that the past-paper practice your child is doing matches the board they're sitting; we cover all three (AQA, Edexcel and OCR) as standard, and the tutor matches the practice papers to the right board from week one. The shared GCSE content is largely the same across boards — what differs is question style, mark scheme phrasing and topic emphasis, and that's where the board-specific work matters most in the final 6 months before the exams.
