What's the difference between the last minute durations?

Each duration is designed for a different situation. The 5 and 10-day programmes are emergency options focusing only on the highest-priority topics and exam technique. The 15 to 30-day programmes allow broader subject coverage and multiple mock exams. The 45 to 75-day programmes provide more thorough preparation with deeper coverage of all subjects. All programmes cover both 11+ grammar school and private school entrance preparation.

Do you cover both public grammar schools and private schools?

Absolutely. Our last minute tuition serves all schools across the UK — public grammar schools (11+ exams via GL, CEM, CSSE, Kent, Bucks, and all other boards) and private grammar schools (ISEB, school-specific papers, interviews). We tailor every session to your child's target school and exam format, whether that's one school or multiple applications.

How many sessions per day or week?

For our shortest programmes (5–20 days), sessions are daily, typically 1.5–2 hours each. For 25–30 day programmes, we run 4–5 sessions per week. For 45–75 day programmes, sessions are typically 3–4 times per week. The exact schedule is flexible and can be adjusted around school and family commitments. All sessions are 1:1 live online via video call.

How quickly can my child start?

We can often start the same day or next day. After your free demo class, we conduct a rapid diagnostic to identify priorities, then your child's personalised programme begins immediately. When time is short, we don't waste any of it — there are no waiting lists, term start dates, or group schedules to work around.

Is the tuition online or in-person?

All sessions are delivered through 1:1 live online video calls. This means no commute time (critical when every hour counts), access to the best tutors regardless of your location, and maximum scheduling flexibility. Sessions are interactive and engaging — your child works directly with their tutor in real time, not watching pre-recorded videos.

What if my child is already in Year 6?

Our last minute programmes are perfect for Year 6 students with imminent exams. In fact, our 5 to 15-day programmes are specifically designed for this exact situation. We focus on the highest-impact topics and exam techniques to maximise your child's score in the time available. Contact us for a free demo class to get started immediately.

Which programme should I choose?

Choose based on how much time you have before the exam. If the exam is within 1–2 weeks, go for the 5 or 10-day programme. If you have 3–5 weeks, the 15 to 25-day programmes are ideal. If you have 1–2 months, the 30 to 60-day programmes offer the best balance. The 75-day programme is our recommended choice if you have 10+ weeks — it provides the most thorough last-minute preparation possible. Book a free demo class and we'll recommend the best fit.
