WHY CHOOSE US
Rebuilding belief and results for Chester students
Most Chester parents describe the same arc in a first conversation. The student used to enjoy a subject. Something changed around Year 9. Now homework is done but reluctantly, marks have slid, and 'I'm just not good at it' has started showing up in conversation. What tutors find in the first session, almost without exception, is a specific topic that broke things, usually two or three years ago, that nobody has gone back to rebuild.
What the tutor does is exactly that. The plan starts at the root of the gap, not at where the syllabus is now. The student rebuilds the foundation, catches up to the class, and then starts moving past it. Most parents notice the shift in tone first, the student talking about a subject without flinching. The grade tends to follow inside a half term.

TRUSTED BY SCHOOLS & PARENTS
Why Chester Families Choose Our Tutoring Services
By the time most Chester parents reach us, the conversation at home has changed shape. The student is bright. The school is fine. But somewhere in Year 9 or 10 a topic slid past, then another did, and now the student has quietly decided certain subjects are just not for them. The hand stays down in class. The homework gets done but produces nothing they are proud of. It is not really an ability problem. It is what happens when capability and confidence have started to drift apart.
That is exactly the gap we have been matching tutors into for years. A patient one-to-one tutor who knows the spec, can find the topic that quietly broke things and rebuild the foundation without making the student feel sent back to Year 7, often does in a few weeks what no kitchen-table conversation has managed. We match every Chester family with a tutor after a co-founder call. The first session is diagnostic. The plan comes out of it.
High Quality Standards
Every tutor in our network is a graduate, vetted on subject knowledge and how patiently they explain a difficult idea. For Chester students rebuilding confidence in a subject they have quietly written off, that patience matters more than postcode.
Experienced Tutors
Our Chester tutors have years of one-to-one experience across GCSE and A-Level specifications, and many have worked closely with students who have lost motivation in a subject. They know that the first job is not racing through content. It is making the work feel possible again.
Personalised Learning
No two Chester students start at the same place. Some need foundation work on a topic that broke in Year 8. Others are capable but freeze on the longer questions under timed conditions. The tutor reads where the student actually is and builds the plan around that.
OUR GLOWING REVIEWS
100+ 5-Star Reviews From Parents And Students
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.
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.
I cannot recommend The Degree Gap enough. My tutor was helpful, welcoming and helped me achieve a grade higher than I was expected.
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.
I was really pleased to discover the Degree Gap when my daughter needed help getting the grades she needed for GCSEs. The team offer a really personalised service and I felt really well looked after from the start. There are lots of tutors to choose from and all subjects are catered for, with great flexibility on timings. Highly recommend.
The Degree Gap gave our son the support he needed for his iGCSEs, especially in Maths and Economics. Lessons were clear, engaging, and built his confidence. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I find the right tutor in Chester?
Tell us the subject, the year group and what the student is trying to achieve. We take it from there. Most families hear back within 24 hours with two or three tutor profiles and a recommended first match.
My child is struggling with confidence. Can you help?
Yes, and it is more common than people think. A lot of the students we work with in Chester are not short of ability. They have just hit a rough patch and stopped believing in themselves. The right tutor makes a real difference to that, often faster than families expect.
What if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
Tell us and we will sort it. No awkward conversation, no process. We would rather find the right match than have a student sitting through sessions that are not working for them.
Is there a free consultation before we commit?
Yes. We have a conversation first to understand what the student needs. No pressure, no obligation. We would rather spend time getting the match right than rush an introduction that does not work.
Why Chester families end up choosing online tutoring
A weekly hour with the right tutor matters more than a weekly hour with the closest one. Most Chester families work that out quickly. We run sessions through Lessonspace, our shared whiteboard, where the tutor can mark a past paper on screen, write out the working alongside the student, and replay the session afterwards. Most students settle into it inside the first lesson.
Online also makes consistency easier. A weekly hour after school does not need a drive across the M53. For students rebuilding confidence in a subject they have quietly written off, that consistency matters more than almost anything else. Most concentrate better one-to-one online than they do in a class of thirty.

Tutoring Chester school students
Our Chester tutors work with families from Bishops' Blue Coat CofE High, Catholic High School Chester, Christleton High School, Upton-by-Chester High, Queen's School and The King's School. Across the city the mix is broad. What parents tell us most often is the same in both sectors, that a student needs someone patient enough to go back and rebuild what slid past. We also run revision and exam preparation workshops on request, for groups of students who want extra structure outside the classroom.
