Pre-GCSE

Years 7-9 – key stage 3 – are some of our most formative. So putting in place a solid foundation at this age is essential to ensuring children have the knowledge and work ethic to take independent study in their stride.

With a deep understanding of the key stage 3 syllabus and access to a bank of customised teaching resources, our tutors provide focused support across the board. But it’s not just about checking off the syllabus – we want to reignite passions and kindle new ones, so that our students embark on their GCSE journeys with a genuine joy for their subjects.

Core subjects covered:

• Maths
• English language and literature
• Sciences: biology, chemistry and physics
• Languages: French, Spanish, German and Latin
• Humanities: geography and history

GCSE

With changes to the grading system and brand new syllabi, GCSEs are becoming increasingly challenging. It’s our job to provide the expertise and experience to make this two-year period stress-free – and fulfilling.

Our tutors are skilled across a broad range of subjects and all major exam boards, including OCR, AQA and Edexcel. Carefully matched based on their background and each students needs, they can provide support for the full two years or just in the run-up to test time. So whether preparing for shorter courses or early examinations, our tutors have the knowledge and resources to help secure top grades.

Core subjects covered:

• Sciences: biology, chemistry, physics and maths
• Languages: Arabic, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Latin, Mandarin, Russian – and more on request
• Humanities: religious studies, philosophy, geography, History, English literature and language
• Arts: drama, art, music

At Figtree, we understand that we all learn in our own way. So we offer a variety of teaching methods, tailored to bring the best out of each and every student:

• Content teaching
• Informal and formal progress reviews
• Practice papers
