Learntit GCSE and IGCSE tuition covers Maths and Science for students in Years 10 and 11. We work through the full specification in order, build exam technique alongside subject knowledge, and make sure students understand the material well enough to apply it under timed conditions.

GCSE grades determine sixth form entry, apprenticeship options, and career pathways. Most students underestimate how much of the final grade depends on decisions made in Year 10.
Two years of classroom lessons lead to a single set of exams that determine the grade. There is no coursework buffer in Maths or Science. Students who cannot apply their knowledge under timed exam conditions do not get credit for what they know.
A Grade 4 is the minimum pass, but most sixth forms and competitive college programmes require Grade 5 or above in Maths and Science. The difference between the two is not just numbers, it is the level of understanding needed to answer higher-mark questions correctly.
GCSE specifications assume solid KS3 knowledge. A student who did not fully secure algebraic thinking, ratio, or core scientific concepts in Years 7 to 9 will hit the limits of those gaps repeatedly throughout Year 10 and 11. Tuition addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Both subjects are taught in full, starting from the beginning of the specification and working through every topic in order. Lessons are aligned to the student's specific exam board throughout.

GCSE is not just about knowing the content. It is about being able to apply it accurately under exam conditions. Every part of our approach reflects that.
We begin at the start of the specification regardless of what the student has already covered in school. We move quickly through topics already secured and spend the necessary time on those that are not. Hidden gaps are caught before they become exam problems.
At GCSE, partial understanding of a topic translates directly to dropped marks. We do not move on until a topic can be applied correctly to exam-style questions, not just explained in isolation.
Exam questions are introduced early and used throughout tuition, not saved for the final weeks. Students become comfortable with exam phrasing, mark allocation, and the standard of answers examiners award full marks to.
Reading questions carefully, identifying command words, allocating time across a paper, and structuring multi-mark answers are all taught explicitly. Students who know the content but lack exam technique consistently underperform against what they actually know.
GCSE and IGCSE Maths and Science tuition is available as 1-to-1 lessons or as part of a structured small-group programme. Both options are billed monthly with a paid trial available.
Students booking more than one 1-to-1 lesson per week qualify for a reduced rate of £5 off per hour. Lesson frequency and structure are discussed during the initial consultation.
Start With a Trial
We offer paid trial lessons so students and parents can experience the teaching properly before moving into regular monthly tuition. The trial is a real lesson covering genuine GCSE content aligned to the student's year group and exam board, not a taster session.
Tell us the student's year group, exam board, current grade in Maths or Science, and the target grade they are working towards.
The trial covers real GCSE content aligned to the student's specification and exam board. It gives a clear picture of what regular tuition looks like.
If both student and parent are satisfied, regular weekly lessons are arranged on a monthly basis, structured around the full GCSE specification from the beginning.
Who This Is Best For
Whether a student is aiming for Grade 5 or pushing for Grade 8, GCSE tuition at Learntit is built around where they actually are and what it takes to reach the grade they need.
Students in Years 10 or 11 targeting a specific grade for sixth form or college entry
Students who follow school lessons but cannot apply their knowledge to exam questions independently
Students in Year 11 who need focused, structured support to consolidate content and build exam readiness
Students doing Combined Science who are considering switching to Triple Science and need to assess the gap
A straightforward process to get students into the right type of structured support as quickly as possible.
Share the student's year group, exam board, current grade in Maths or Science, and the target grade they are working towards.
We decide together whether 1-to-1 tuition or a group programme is the better fit, based on the student's needs, target grade, and how much time is available before exams.
The student completes a paid trial lesson aligned to their exam board and year group, giving both parent and student a clear picture of the teaching before committing to monthly sessions.
If the trial is the right fit, regular weekly lessons are arranged on a monthly basis with the full specification covered in order and past paper practice built in throughout.
