We understand the significance of these exams in shaping a pupil’s future and therefore teach with similar vigour and compassion.

Established almost 20 years, being the pioneers in our field, when information and resources online could be scarcely found.

Given your target school, we will work out the correct blend of subjects to get your child through.

Our courses are structured to fit into the academic year, therefore ensuring there is minimal disruption for our pupils during main holiday periods.

The timetable allows pupils to pick up topics and techniques at a steady yet challenging pace. New concepts are introduced only when fundamental and core principles and satisfactorily mastered. Additional one-to-one and group classes, on top of the course structure, are held to ensure all pupils are on track with their learning.
