WHY CHOOSE US
Tutoring for the grade that quietly matters to Stratford-upon-Avon families
At King Edward VI and Stratford Girls' Grammar, where the brightest of every village primary in south Warwickshire end up, the curriculum runs at a pace that assumes the foundations are already there. Most are. What tutors find in a first session, more often than not, is one specific gap from Year 8 or 9 that the class moved past too quickly. The student has kept up since. They have also been carrying it. Closing that gap is usually what shifts a 7 into an 8.
What changes in week one is honest diagnosis. The tutor sits the student through a recent past paper, marks it the way an examiner would, then walks through where the marks actually went, sentence by sentence. From there sessions move onto the topics losing the points and the technique drills that lift the band. A weekly hour with a tutor who knows the specification tends to shift the predicted grade within a half term. Sometimes faster.

The Stratford-upon-Avon Tutors Who Get Results
Across Stratford-upon-Avon, the same conversation tends to come up. The Year 10 mocks came back fine. But fine was not what the family was quietly hoping for. The student passed the Warwickshire 11+ a few years ago and walked into King Edward VI or Stratford Girls' Grammar, the family rearranged life around the bus timetable, and now the pace inside school is starting to feel relentless. Or the student is at Stratford-upon-Avon School, working hard, and the gap between a 7 and a 9 is starting to look more like a wall than a step.
That is the gap we have built the platform around. We match Stratford-upon-Avon families with one-to-one tutors who know the exam board, know what the top mark band rewards, and know how to drill the technique that lifts a grade. Every family speaks with a co-founder first, before any tutor is suggested. We would rather get the match right once than send three profiles that miss the point.
High Quality Standards
Every tutor in our network is a graduate, many from Russell Group universities, and only about three percent of applicants are accepted. For students at King Edward VI, Stratford Girls' Grammar or the Stratford-upon-Avon comprehensive, what matters more than location is that the tutor knows the exam board and what the top mark band rewards.
Experienced Tutors
Our Stratford-upon-Avon tutors have years of one-to-one experience across GCSE and A-Level specifications. Most have walked students through the exact mark schemes they are now preparing yours for. That is what turns a 6 into a 7 and a predicted B into an A.
Personalised Learning
No two Stratford-upon-Avon students start in the same place. One might need foundation work on algebra from Year 8 before A-Level Maths makes sense again. Another might be a strong predicted A held back by AO3 evaluation in Psychology. The tutor builds the plan around what is actually missing, not what the textbook says comes next.
OUR GLOWING REVIEWS
100+ 5-Star Reviews From Parents And Students
The Degree Gap has exceeded all my expectations. They have gone above and beyond to pair both my sons with the appropriate tutors, all of whom have been exceptional. Both my sons exceeded their expected grades in their GCSEs and A Levels and got into their first choice universities. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
My son, who is in Year 10, really struggled with English and was completely disengaged from the subject. After six months of tutoring, he has improved from a grade 5 to a 6/7. He now looks forward to his lessons. Through one-to-one tutoring he has learned effective strategies that help him approach English in a way that resonates with him.
My tutor is a very intuitive and superb teacher. She listened to my specific concerns and bolstered my confidence in answering questions. She taught me how to think critically and helped me through this highly demanding course. I will happily recommend without a second thought.
The Degree Gap helped my child go from Cs to As. They have a great selection of tutors who not only assist with the curriculum but also helped with university choices and applications.
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 has been receiving tutor lessons in A Level History and A Level Sociology since the beginning of this year. The tutor has been such a tremendous support, teaching him content as well as exam technique.

Why Stratford-upon-Avon families end up choosing online tutoring
Stratford sits in a corner of Warwickshire where the right specialist for AQA A-Level Chemistry might be in Birmingham, or Oxford, or somewhere further. The honest answer is that geography does not need to decide the match. We run sessions through Lessonspace, our shared whiteboard, and most students settle into it inside the first session.
Online tutoring also fits around the school day in a way that a drive across the county never will. A weekly hour after dinner, the laptop opens, the work begins. Most students concentrate better one-to-one online than they do in a class of thirty, because a good tutor is watching how they actually approach a six-mark question, not just whether they finished it.

Tutoring Stratford-upon-Avon school students
Our Stratford-upon-Avon tutors work with families from King Edward VI School, Stratford Girls' Grammar School, Stratford-upon-Avon School, Alcester Grammar over the border, and Stratford-upon-Avon College for the post-16 students. The schools are strong. But a class of thirty cannot drill the exam technique a single student needs to clear the top band, and that is the work we do. We also run revision and exam preparation workshops on request, for groups of students who want extra structure outside the classroom.
