Lilian Isibor

He is a very thorough teacher, very patient with pupil. He was able to breakdown each lesson to easy task. I will surely recommend him. He is the best teacher my son has had so far.

Katie was a stand in tutor for my son while his usual tutor was sitting very important examinations. On each occasion she has proved to be an extremely capable and supportive tutor. I would definitely seek out Katie in the future if my son was to extend his online study.

Terrence makes learning about Economics so much fun. He frequently related Economics with my other subjects (sociology and politics) which helped me to have a deeper understanding of all 3 of my subjects outside the syllabus. I also thoroughly enjoyed our deep philosophical chats at the end of our sessions about the state of the world from a Political, Economical, Sociological and even Religious lens! Terrence also gave me lots of tips about degree choices at uni and some insight into Economic History at LSE :)

Yagmur is very friendly and warm. Although Turkish is not my daughter’s favorite topic at all, she loves the lessons with her.

Everything you need to know to help your child pass this essential exam

What are GCSEs?

GCSEs are qualifications that students in the UK achieve at the end of their compulsory education. 

A GCSE grade is given to each subject and calculated on written exams, practical exams and coursework.

How important are GCSEs?

GCSEs are a universally recognised qualification in the UK.

Specific GCSE grades may be required when applying for further education. This includes applications for college, sixth form and university, or when applying for a job.

GCSEs can come with a lot of pressure and expectation but your child can achieve the grades that they need with lots of practice as well as guidance from a GCSE tutor.

At what age do you take GCSEs?

Students take their GCSE exams around age 16, in the last months of the academic year at school, although the syllabus is taught between the ages of 14-16 years.

There is now more weight than ever being placed on final exams (instead of coursework), so students must be well equipped to perform on the day.

Which GCSEs are compulsory?

The core subjects for GCSEs are maths, English and science.

Other GCSEs include languages (usually French, German or Spanish), humanities (such as history, geography or religious studies), art (music, art, media, drama) and technical (food technology, design and technology, computer science).

Can GCSEs be re-marked?

If your child is on the cusp of getting the grade that they hoped for or the result simply does not seem fair, the paper in question can be sent back to the exam board for appeal.

Many students appeal exam results when they are one or two marks away from the next grade up. The right study plan and a good understanding of the marking scheme for each exam can help avoid this situation.

If your child has achieved marks close to the grade line in their mock exams, it could be time to get them some help with a GCSE tutor.

GCSE tutoring with GoStudent

Our GCSE tutors help students develop a systematic approach to learning. Unlike in a group setting, your child will be able to progress at their own pace while receiving individualised feedback.

GoStudent’s GCSE tutors range from graduates with years of experience in a particular field to undergraduate and graduate students who are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge.

Each GCSE tutor must pass a rigorous subject-based test before being considered for a position as well as undergo an ID and enhanced DBS check.

Our friendly customer service team pays careful consideration to any specific needs and requirements that you may have in order to match your child with the most appropriate GCSE tutor.

The subject knowledge and passion of our GCSE tutors allows even the most difficult topics to be turned into fun experiences for students!
