WHY CHOOSE US
Proven exam preparation for Aylesbury students
In Aylesbury, exam pressure starts younger than almost anywhere else in the country. By Year 5, families are already thinking about the 11+. By Year 9, grammar school students are being told the only acceptable grade is a 7 or above. By Year 12, A-Level expectations are calibrated against peers who all sat the same selective test six years earlier. What tutors see in a first session isn't usually a lack of ability. It's a student who's been told they should know how to perform under pressure, without anyone ever showing them how.
Our tutors work on that directly. For 11+ candidates, our tuition pairs reasoning practice with the specific timing strategies the Buckinghamshire Transfer Test rewards. For GCSE and A-Level students, sessions go straight into recent work, marked the way the exam board marks, so the student can see exactly where the marks are sitting on the table. The shift most parents notice first isn't the grade. It's the way their child talks about the next exam.

TRUSTED BY SCHOOLS & PARENTS
GCSE and A-Level Tutors Covering Aylesbury
Aylesbury sits in Buckinghamshire, one of the few English counties still running a fully selective grammar school system. Children in the town sit the Buckinghamshire Transfer Test, the 11+, in the autumn of Year 6, and the result decides whether they go on to Aylesbury Grammar School, Aylesbury High School, Sir Henry Floyd Grammar, or to one of the non-selective secondaries like Mandeville, The Grange or The Aylesbury Vale Academy. That's a lot of pressure on an eleven-year-old, and a lot of pressure on the GCSE years that follow, whichever side of the line a child lands on.
Our Aylesbury tutors work one-to-one with students at every stage of this. For 11+ candidates, that means proper preparation in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English and Maths well ahead of the test. For students already at a grammar, it means keeping pace with peers who all came in at the same standard. For students at non-selective schools, it means making sure the gap doesn't widen into GCSEs. One-to-one tuition lets the tutor work on exactly what that specific student needs, and nothing else.
High Quality Standards
Every tutor working with Aylesbury students is assessed on subject depth and on exam-board fluency. For 11+, GCSE and A-Level tutoring under this much pressure, a tutor who knows the specification and the mark scheme cold is worth ten generally-good teachers.
Experienced Tutors
Our tutors have prepared students for the Buckinghamshire Transfer Test, competitive grammar sixth form entry, Russell Group applications and Oxbridge offers. They know the standard those courses expect and how to coach a student towards it without burning them out.
Personalised Learning
We don't run set programmes. For an Aylesbury student, tuition is shaped around their specific test, exam board or target grade, with sessions that move at the pace the student actually needs, not a generic timetable.
OUR GLOWING REVIEWS
100+ 5-Star Reviews From Parents And Students
My daughter was struggling with confidence in Maths GCSE and we decided to get a tutor. We were given a selection of tutors to choose from and told that if it did not feel like a good match we could try others. Our tutor was a complete star, listened, made it simple, set good homework and gave my daughter her confidence back. Highly recommend.
Our tutor is simply amazing with our daughter. He understands her completely and her sessions are helping her with her school work so much. We cannot thank him enough.
The support given to my son by The Degree Gap's tutors was fabulous and he passed all his GCSE subjects. They provided experienced and organised tutors. Tutors provided resources targeting specific areas of difficulty. The website is easy to use and tutors were polite and on time.
My son gained almost two grades higher than his year 13 mock paper. His tutor was excellent.
My granddaughter uses the Degree Gap tutoring services across a few subjects. She is not only improving academically but really enjoys the setup and structure too. I would recommend to anyone.
The Degree Gap is an amazing place and has helped me achieve so much. I am looking forward to it helping me develop a higher level of skills and get ready for the RAF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you support students aiming for grammar or independent schools in Aylesbury?
Yes. We work with students preparing for the Buckinghamshire Transfer Test (11+), as well as Common Entrance and competitive sixth form entry. Tutors know what the test looks for and prepare students accordingly, not just on content but on how to perform under timed conditions.
Can you support students who have fallen significantly behind?
Yes. Some of the students we work with in Aylesbury have gaps stretching back a year or more. We start by working out exactly where things went wrong, not just picking up from where school left off. Then we build a plan around that.
How much does tutoring cost in Aylesbury?
Sessions start from £37 per hour. The exact rate depends on the subject and the tutor, and it's agreed before anything is booked. No surprises, no hidden fees.
How quickly can tuition start in Aylesbury?
Usually within a few days of getting in touch. Once we know the subject, year group and what the student needs, we move quickly. No long waiting lists.
Online tutoring for Aylesbury students: 11+, GCSE and A-Level specialists
Most of our work with Aylesbury families runs online through Lessonspace, a shared whiteboard platform built for one-to-one sessions. For 11+ preparation, that means a tutor who knows the Buckinghamshire Transfer Test format and works through reasoning papers with the student on the whiteboard, live. For GCSE and A-Level, families aren't limited to whoever lives locally. We match on subject, exam board and the specific kind of teaching a student responds to.
And online tutoring tends to work well for students under exam pressure. There's no unfamiliar room. Sessions slot into the family's existing schedule without time lost to travel. Most students concentrate harder one-to-one online than they do in a busy classroom, and weekly consistency, which matters more than total hours for 11+ and GCSE prep, is easier to maintain. Lessonspace takes about a minute to learn.
