WHY CHOOSE US
Why Epsom families choose The Degree Gap for ambitious tutoring
There's a reason Glyn and Rosebery dominate every Epsom school conversation. Both routinely sit at the top of Surrey's state school results tables, and the GCSE curriculum at both runs at a pace that assumes students can already think analytically by Year 9. For most students, that's true. For some, it isn't yet, and the small gap between what those students need and what the pace allows is exactly where our Epsom tutors do their best work. We see the same pattern, slightly differently, at Blenheim, Epsom & Ewell and St Andrew's. Different schools, same point of stuck.
Our tutors give those students the missing layer. The first few sessions usually focus on a recent piece of work, marked the way the exam board marks, so the student can see where the marks are being left on the table. A-Level tutoring then moves into the technical moves that lift A grades into A*s, the evaluation writing, the synoptic links, the precision examiners actually reward. Our GCSE tutoring works the same way at the grade 7 to 9 boundary. Parents often notice the shift in how their child talks about the subject first, before the next mock catches up.

TRUSTED BY SCHOOLS & PARENTS
Private Tutors Serving Epsom Families
Epsom is one of Surrey's most academic commuter towns. The independent Epsom College sits at one end of the local picture, and competition for places at Glyn School and Rosebery, both routinely oversubscribed, sets the tone at the other. Surrey as a whole sits well above the national average for GCSE attainment, which means parents in Epsom are calibrating their expectations against an already strong baseline. A solid grade 6 doesn't feel solid here. Not when the conversation at the school gate is about 8s, 9s, and which Russell Group university each child is aiming at.
Our Epsom tutors work in exactly that context. One-to-one tuition gives an ambitious student the time to attempt harder questions, get specific feedback on real work, and rebuild any weak topic before it becomes a problem. We match each family with a tutor who knows the exam board, knows what top grade answers actually look like, and can coach a motivated student towards those answers without burning them out. No filler, no working at the pace of the slowest in the room.
High Quality Standards
Every tutor working with Epsom students is assessed on subject depth and on whether they can teach to the top of the mark scheme, not just to a comfortable pass. For ambitious students, that distinction is the whole point of tutoring.
Experienced Tutors
Our tutors have supported students through Russell Group offers, medicine, dentistry and Oxbridge applications. They know the standard those courses expect and how to coach a student towards it without sacrificing the rest of the school year.
Personalised Learning
We don't run set programmes. For an Epsom student aiming high, tutoring is shaped around their specific subjects, target grades and university plans, with the room to stretch beyond the syllabus where it helps.
OUR GLOWING REVIEWS
100+ 5-Star Reviews From Parents And Students
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.
Cannot recommend The Degree Gap highly enough. Quick and helpful responses. I was immediately matched with a very competent tutor who was a massive help in helping me exceed my target grade and achieve a first class degree at university.
My tutor was amazing. He helped me shape my personal statement into something I was truly proud of, and thanks to his support, I got into my dream university. Highly recommend to anyone applying to uni.
My tutor was an excellent teacher that helped me gain real grip of the complicated areas in my subjects like economics. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to consistently perform at their best.
The Degree Gap has been very helpful in tutoring my son for his economics A Level. His tutor has lots of patience, keeps lessons interesting and is a good motivator. The subject matter expertise is excellent.
Our tutor is a great teacher. Very helpful and knowledgeable. His experience and expertise helped my son make decisions about choosing A-level subjects and his university course. I highly recommend The Degree Gap.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you support students aiming for top universities?
Yes. We work with Epsom students preparing for Russell Group, medicine and Oxbridge applications. Tutors who've been through those processes themselves take students through the standard those courses expect, the personal statement and any admissions tests required.
What qualifications do your tutors have?
All our tutors are graduates, and many come from Russell Group universities. Every tutor is vetted individually on subject knowledge, on how they explain things, and on how they work with young people. A degree alone isn't enough for us.
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'd rather spend time getting the match right than rush an introduction that doesn't work.
Can tutors help with A-Level coursework?
Yes, within reason. Tutors help students understand what's being asked, structure their approach and tighten the quality of their thinking. Everything submitted stays the student's own work. But the difference a tutor makes to the process is usually significant.
Online tuition for Epsom students: specialist subject tutors matched on exam board
Most of our tutoring for Epsom families runs online through Lessonspace, a shared whiteboard platform built for one-to-one sessions. It means students aren't limited to whichever tutors happen to live within a short drive of Surrey. If a student needs a senior examiner for A-Level Biology, a Russell Group graduate for Further Maths, or a tutor who's been through Oxbridge admissions, we draw from a national pool and match on subject, exam board and teaching style.
And online tuition fits the kind of week most Epsom students are running. School clubs, music, sport, plus the commute home, leave evenings tight. Sessions slot in at 7pm or 8pm without a drive across town. Past papers get marked on the whiteboard live. Most students find they concentrate harder one-to-one online than they do in a class of thirty, and the weekly consistency of online tutoring is easier to maintain than in-person work.
