You were closer than it feels.
A nine-week course for anyone who just missed a grade 4 in English or Maths. You work in a small group of up to four, on the exact marks between you and a pass, ready for the November resit.

Week one, we find your marks
Most people who just missed a 4 are only ten to fifteen marks off it. In your first session your teacher sits with you, goes through a real paper, and builds your own mark map. You will see where your marks are going, and the handful of fixable things between you and a pass.
Your map is built from your own work, never a number we guess about you.

Week 5, mid mock and reset
A full mock, then we re-point your map at what is still leaking.
- 4
Weeks 6 to 7, the big-mark questions
The questions worth the most marks, done properly and completely.
- 5
Weeks 8 to 9, exam-ready
Full dress-rehearsal mock, then your personal final fixes and pacing.
Who teaches it
Our qualified, DBS-checked tutors. Every group has its own teacher, qualified and background-checked, trained by us to know the resit inside out and to be good with students who find exams hard. They teach you live, twice a week, and they get to know you.
The honest bits
- How does it actually work?
- Two live sessions a week with your teacher, in a group of no more than four. You get iCan Study to practise on in between, and your teacher marks your mocks and tells you what to fix.
- Is my child safe online?
- Yes. Every tutor holds an enhanced DBS check and Level 3 safeguarding training, and we follow a full safeguarding policy. You complete a short consent form when you enrol, and you always know who is teaching your child.
- Do I book the November exam?
- Yes, you book your own November exam at a centre near you. If your child is still at a college, it is usually free there. We keep our focus on getting them the marks.
- Can you promise me a grade 4?
- No one honest can. What we can promise is that you will know exactly what to fix, and a teacher in your corner the whole way. Most of the gap is a handful of fixable things.
- What if I miss a session?
- You will not fall behind. The group is small, we catch you up, and you can keep practising on iCan Study.
- It is only a few days after results. Is this too soon?
- We start the Monday after the bank holiday, so you get a breather first. Reserving now just saves your place until we speak.
