How Private Tuition Improves GCSE Results

Private tuition has become an increasingly popular option for families seeking better GCSE results. According to the Sutton Trust, around one in four pupils in England have received private or home tuition, with rates even higher in London. Studies show that additional one-to-one support has a measurable impact on exam performance, particularly in core subjects like maths and English. Outside of results, tuition can help boost morale, improve behaviour and feeds into other aspects of a learners life.

Private tutors are able to provide individualised instruction that schools often cannot due to class sizes. Lessons can be adapted to the student’s learning style, focusing on weak areas, building exam techniques, and boosting confidence. Research by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) found that personalised small-group or one-to-one tutoring can catapult a pupils progress by up to five months in a single academic year.

With targeted support, consistent feedback, and structured revision, students are better equipped to meet or exceed their GCSE targets—making private tuition an investment for families aiming to secure academic success and confidence before exam season.
