Focus shouldn't decide how far a child goes.
Children with mild ADD and ADHD who struggle to focus are often more capable than their grades show. Most lessons and exams just weren't designed with them in mind.
What we believe
- Every child is good at something
- Attention has to be earned
- There's a way in for every child
- Results are the point
So we
- Build on their strengths
- Make every lesson worth paying attention to
- Find what works for children, in class and in exams
- So we tie 80% of every rate to results
How it works
Three steps to start. Then each milestone runs the same way, until the outcome is reached.

The Two-Way Guarantee

Our side
- A clear, measurable target agreed at the start
- Regular progress updates throughout
- A test lesson at the end of each milestone, set by your and marked by your child's school teacher or by us if you prefer
- 80% of your fee tied to your child's results
Your side
- Attend at least 90% of lessons
- Complete the homework that's set
- Sit the end-of-milestone check
Questions parents ask
What do you teach?
Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English and History, for the 11+ and entrance exams, GCSE, IGCSE, A-level and the IB.
Are your teachers trained in SEN?
Yes. Teaching pupils with SEN is part of every teacher's training in England, and our teachers work with them in school every week.
What is the Two-Way Guarantee?
It's a results guarantee with commitments on both sides. 20% of each lesson's price is pay-as-you-go, paid with the lesson. The other 80% is a performance fee, paid at the end of each milestone of up to 10 weeks, based on an agreed check. If the child doesn't improve, the performance fee isn't charged, provided the family has kept its commitments.
What does my family need to do?
Your child needs to attend at least 90% of scheduled lessons, complete at least 80% of the homework set, and sit the end-of-milestone check. Lessons we cancel and absences due to illness don't count against you.
What if we're unhappy with our tutor?
Tell us, and we'll find you another teacher. Your plan carries on with them, with the same target. Lessons already taught keep their price, lessons with your new tutor are at theirs, and the performance fee is worked out lesson by lesson. Changing tutor doesn't count as stopping early.
What if we stop part-way through a milestone?
You can stop at any time. The full performance fee is then due on the lessons already taught in that milestone, whatever the result so far. You can cancel within 14 days of agreeing a milestone, and you pay the full price of the lessons taught by then, and nothing more.
Why guarantee results at all?
Because results are why we exist. If your family does its part and the results don't come, we carry the cost, not you.
What happens at the free consultation?
We ask about your child and what you want for them, then match a qualified teacher. There's no obligation to go ahead.
Only pay in full when it works.
One-to-one teaching at your home, from teachers trained in SEN.
