Everything You Need to Know — Clear, Fast, and Straightforward

From pricing and trial info to how referrals work — we’ve answered it all right here.

Section 1: Getting Started

  • ElevateGCSE is a premium tutoring service designed to help students achieve top grades at GCSE level — especially in Maths, Science, and English. We combine expert-led group sessions with proven study systems, structured revision plans, and results-based accountability. It’s not just tutoring — it’s a performance programme engineered for results.

  • Most school lessons focus on covering the syllabus — not mastering it. And most private tutors just go through past papers or mark homework. At ElevateGCSE, we focus on performance, not just practice. We use scientifically backed methods like spaced repetition, exam board-specific strategies, and personalised study plans. It’s structured like a coaching programme — with expert guidance, accountability, and rapid grade improvement built in.

  • We provide expert tuition in a broad range of GCSE subjects, including Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, English Literature, Spanish, Computer Science, and History.

  • e offer three tracks — Foundation (£299/month), Elevate (£599/month), and Scholars (£1,299/month). Each comes with increasing levels of support, live teaching, and bonuses. All include weekly tutoring, AI-personalised reports, tailored resources, and progress tracking.

  • ElevateGCSE is run by students and draws teachings directly from Oxbridge graduates and industry professionals. We know exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes. As someone who was shortlisted for the Orwell Award for Eton, received insights into Oxbridge pathways, and understands the pressures students face — the founder brings both experience and empathy. Being close in age means we don’t talk down to students — we speak your language, keep it real, and make learning actually enjoyable. It’s about building systems, smashing targets, and doing it all in a way that feels empowering — not boring.

  • Not at all. We support every level — from students aiming to pass core subjects to ambitious learners targeting 8s and 9s or top sixth forms like Brampton, LAE, and NCS. Whether you’re stuck on a 4 or pushing for a 9, ElevateGCSE builds the systems to elevate you.

Section 2: Trial Session & Sign-Up Process

  • Item descriptionJust head to elevategcse.co.uk/book-now and choose your preferred time. You’ll get a confirmation email, location details, and what to bring. It’s 100% free — no pressure, no card details.

  • You’ll experience a 2-hour live group lesson led by our lead tutor. We focus on exam-grade techniques, not boring textbook stuff. You’ll get revision strategies, tackle real GCSE questions, and leave with clear next steps tailored to your current level. Plus: snacks, small prizes, and a chilled vibe.

  • Just a notebook and a pen. We’ll handle the rest — including worksheets, guides, and feedback forms.

  • Absolutely. Parents are welcome to wait in the same space (if available) or nearby, especially for younger students. We’re big on transparency and building trust with families.

  • After your trial, you’ll get a personalised message with next steps. You can either book an in person meeting, WhatsApp call to ask final questions, or simply reply “YES” and we’ll send your payment link to get started immediately.

  • No stress. Just use the link in your confirmation email to reschedule. Or message us via WhatsApp at least 12 hours in advance and we’ll sort it.

Section 3: Packages, Pricing & Payments

Section 4: Logistics & Operations

  • Right now, most group sessions are in person (Stratford-based) to maximise impact, but we also offer select online sessions for flexibility. As we grow, you’ll be able to choose the format that fits you best.

  • We use a combination of high-performing systems:

    • Google Classroom — for homework, assignments, and progress tracking

    • WhatsApp — for quick updates and direct communication with students/parents

    • ChatGPT (Elevate Edition) — a dedicated AI assistant trained to help with revision and questions 24/7 (In development)

    • Google Meet — for any online sessions (no download needed)

  • Nope. For in-person students: bring a pen, notebook, and focus — we handle the rest. Online students get access to worksheets, links, and login instructions. No tech headaches.

  • We get that life can get in teh way sometimes so if you give us 48 hours’ notice, we’ll try to accommodate your new timing, subject to availability.

  • Yes. Every student gets:

    • Revision summaries

    • Weekly homework

    • Bonus guides

    • Access to AI-personalised learning tools

      And if you’re on an online plan, recordings are included for key sessions.

Section 5: Referral Programme & Bonuses

  • You earn up to £100 per referral — split into two stages:

    • Stage 1: Get £50 paid within 24 hours of your referral completing their first full paid month at ElevateGCSE.

    • Stage 2: Earn up to another £50 based on their final GCSE results — paid out after the summer results day.

    They just need to enter your name and number when booking. We handle the rest.

  • Yes — there’s no limit.

    Refer 10 students and you could earn £1,000 if each one qualifies for both bonuses. We’ve already had students hit £500+ in a single month.

  • After your referral sits their exams, we calculate how many grades they improved across all subjects.

    You’ll earn £5 for every grade they go up (e.g. 1 grade in 10 subjects = £50), capped at £50. This second bonus is paid after 6 months of ElevateGCSE, once verified GCSE results are submitted.

  • You only get the reward once they’ve signed up and paid for their first full month — trials alone don’t count. We’ll keep track for you automatically using the referral info they submit at booking.

  • Every student enters your name and number when booking. We log this internally and match payments accordingly — no extra work on your side.

  • Instead of wasting £1,000s on ads, we reward students directly.

    You help us grow — so we pay you. That’s smarter, fairer, and more effective.

    You win. Your friends win. We win.

Section 6: Guarantees, Contracts & Commitments

  • Yes. If you attend all your sessions, complete the assigned tasks, and still don’t feel satisfied after your first week — we’ll give you your money back. No catch. No drama.

    We stand by our system — but only if you actually engage with it.

  • There’s no rigid contract — but to be eligible for referral bonuses, guarantees, or discounted pricing, we do ask for a 3-month minimum commitment.

    This ensures we can give you full support, track your progress properly, and reward you fairly.

  • Not all packages are eligible — and that’s intentional.

    To qualify for our Progress or Fast-Track guarantees, you must be enrolled in either the Elevate Track or Scholars Path. These programmes offer the level of structure, tutoring hours, mentoring, and personalisation required for us to confidently guarantee results.

    The Foundation Track does not include enough 1:1 feedback, AI tracking, or curriculum depth for us to ethically offer a results guarantee — it wouldn’t be responsible to promise outcomes without the support to back them.

    We’d love to offer guarantees to everyone, but we only do so where the system is designed to deliver — and that starts with Elevate Track or higher.

Section 7: Access and Communication

  • Right now, we use Google Classroom to manage everything — resources, recordings, assignments, and updates.

    A full Elevate Hub is in development to streamline all tools in one place, and will be rolled out soon for select students.

  • We use WhatsApp — for fast responses, reminders, and group motivation. Parents can be looped in too if preferred. It keeps everyone connected and accountable throughout the week.

  • Nope. Everything works on mobile or desktop with tools you already use: Google Meet, Google Classroom, and WhatsApp. It’s designed for simplicity and speed.

  • It’s our custom-built AI learning assistant — trained to answer GCSE-level questions and support students 24/7.

    It’s currently in development and will be made available to select students as part of early testing. Stay tuned.

Section 8: Results, Proof & Progress

  • We track progress weekly using our AI-personalised learning plans, regular quizzes, performance reports, and tutor notes. Every student gets a tailored plan that adjusts based on their results — so you’re never blindly attending sessions. You’ll see clear proof of improvement.

  • Yes. Parents receive regular updates summarising progress, attendance, and areas of focus. We also host optional parent check-ins so you’re always in the loop and can track your child’s improvement alongside us.

  • Yes — eligible students on select packages are guaranteed grade improvement or we work with them for free until they improve. (Terms apply.) This is our way of proving we back our system 100%.

  • Answer:

    From moving from Grade 3s to 7s, or hitting 9s across core subjects — our students have achieved significant jumps. Our system doesn’t just teach content — it upgrades habits, mindset, and execution. Testimonials and performance stats are shared at free trials.

  • Grades matter — but so does confidence, motivation, and real-world thinking. We look at how students revise on their own, engage with study systems, and feel about exams. The goal is not just better grades, but becoming a higher-performing student overall

  • We offer three levels of support:

    • Foundation Track – £299/month

      For students who need structure, strategy, and confidence — not just more revision.

    • Elevate Track – £599/month

      For students aiming for top sixth forms and consistent 7–9 grades, with more live teaching time and mentorship.

    • Scholars Track – £1,299/month

      For top 1% students targeting Oxbridge or elite sixth forms. 8 hours/week of elite tuition, plus mentoring from Cambridge grads.

  • We don’t lock you into a strict contract — but to unlock the full value (like the grade guarantee, referral bonuses, and bonus access), students typically stay with us for at least 6 months. That’s because real progress takes time, and our system is designed to deliver consistent results across the year.

    If you ever choose to leave, you can — but due to limited spaces, rejoining may require a 3-month gap as we prioritise committed students. We’re here to support you long-term, not trap you short-term.

  • Once you sign up, we’ll send you a Stripe payment link where you can pay via card. Payments renew monthly, and you’ll get reminders before each renewal.

  • We charge the minimum possible to maintain elite-level delivery.

    Behind the scenes, we pay Cambridge graduates, develop tailored resources, and run performance-based bonuses — all while keeping group prices accessible. Our margins are intentionally small to prioritise impact over profit, giving students Oxbridge-level support at a fraction of private agency rates.

    We also offer generous rewards:

    • £50 per referral

    • £5 per grade increase (up to £50 extra)

    Rather than inflate prices, we reinvest into results — making sure our students win. That said, if cost is a concern, book a quick WhatsApp call — we’ll do our best to find a solution.

  • Most tutors charge £40–£70/hour for generic 1-to-1 revision. But they don’t:

    • Fix bad study habits or kill procrastination

    • Tailor strategies by exam board or learning style

    • Track performance weekly with AI-powered insights

    • Build real accountability through mentorship, bonuses, and systems

    • Connect students with top peers, Oxbridge grads, and professionals who’ve been there

    At ElevateGCSE, you’re not paying for time — you’re paying for a transformation system that actually works. Structure. Strategy. Results. All in one.
