GCSE Booster
GCSE grades (with AS Levels where relevant) are the most prominent set of academic data in your university application. Top universities assume top grades as a basic starting point, and Leading Education can make sure you achieve this
Top Oxbridge tutors to help maximise GCSE results
Our university application tutors are also available to help students with GCSE and IGCSE examinations. It is never too early to receive online academic support beyond your regular classroom lessons.
Leading Education’s GCSE and IGCSE Booster is available from the moment you start Year 10, or as a last-minute revision exercise. We can support students in all subjects across the majority of examination boards, and our Oxbridge application experts will diagnose your weaknesses and strengths in whichever subjects you choose. They will design a bespoke study plan to cover your weaknesses and help you achieve the best possible grades before you move to A-Levels or IB.
Bespoke study plan
Design a flexible study plan with your tutor after they diagnose your strengths and weaknesses.

Not just GCSEs
Our tutors can also support with alternative exams to GCSEs, including the American system and local examinations outside of the UK

My tutor discussed various maths and physics topics with me to enhance my understanding. By practising puzzles beyond the GCSE course, I gradually got comfortable with explaining my mental processes, and I surprisingly found my thinking pattern was changed throughout these sessions.
