Online tutoring works. Research consistently shows that students learning personal online make the same progress as those taught face to face — and for many Bicester families, the convenience factor tips the balance. Sessions fit around sports, clubs, and family commitments in ways that in-person tutoring sometimes can't.
What You Need
All your son or daughter needs is a laptop or tablet, a stable internet connection, and a quiet space. We use video-call platforms with built-in interactive whiteboards — the tutor can write equations, annotate texts, and share resources in real time. Students can draw, type, or upload their own work. Most children in Bicester are comfortable with this setup within minutes of their first session.
Subject Coverage
Every subject we offer in person is also available online. Maths, English, sciences, languages, humanities — all taught by specialist tutors using the OCR specifications that Bicester students follow. For subjects with practical components (like science), online sessions focus on theory, problem-solving, and exam preparation while practical skills are developed at school.
Age and Suitability
Online tutoring works best for students aged 9 and above who can focus during a screen-based session. For younger children in Bicester, we sometimes recommend face-to-face tutoring instead, as the physical presence of a tutor helps with attention and engagement. For GCSE and A-Levels students, online tutoring is often preferred — they're digital natives who find the format natural, and the flexibility fits their busy schedules.
Seeing Results
Parents in Bicester should be able to see tangible evidence that tutoring is working. After each block of work, the tutor provides a brief update on what was covered, how the learner responded, and what comes next. For exam-level pupils, we track scores on topic tests and timed papers, giving a concrete picture of improvement — not vague reassurances. If progress stalls, we adjust the approach rather than repeating what is not working.
