Buy a unit
Press Buy on the unit you want, or fill in the form below.
1. Fill in the form with your child's first name, exactly as you'd like it on their link, and pay securely by card.
3. I'll send your child's personal link. It unlocks everything.
Questions
Is this tutoring?
No. It's structured practice your child does on their own, with model answers for you to compare against. Nobody marks the written work. If you'd like marking or lessons too, 1:1 and group tuition is available.
Which unit should we choose?
For Years 3–9, choose the year that matches what your child can do now, not their age. For exams, choose the board your exam centre will enter them for. Not sure? WhatsApp me and I'll help.
Do we need to buy any books?
Usually not. Edexcel IGCSE A uses the free Pearson Anthology, Year 8 reads Animal Farm, and GCSE Literature needs your own set texts. Each unit's parent guide lists exactly what's needed.
What device do we need?
Any computer, tablet or phone with a web browser. Work is saved on the device as your child goes; the backup button moves it to another device.
I have two children.
Each child needs their own unit at £15, and each gets their own link, so their work never mixes, even on one computer.
How do exams work for home-educated students?
You book the exam yourself at a centre that accepts private candidates. Each GCSE and IGCSE unit explains this in its parent guide. Book early: many centres close entries months ahead.
Questions before you start?
Send me a WhatsApp and I'll help you pick the right unit.
