In their words
Mia went into her final exam with a C at mock stage.
“I got an A star!!!! Which I cannot believe!!! Going from a C in the mock to an A* in the real thing could not be better!”
Ella's highest Geography grade in two years had been a D.
“I got my first A* in geography from a D just 2 months ago.”
“It was great. I loved the fact that we were tackling questions rather than focusing solely on content.”
“We really appreciate your constant help over the past months. Louisa said you are the best tutor she's ever had in any subject.”
“I wish we found you sooner.”

- 1
Know It
A solid knowledge foundation across every exam board topic, including a precise, exam-ready case study bank.
- 2
Show It
This is about turning knowledge into answers that earn marks. It focuses on exam technique, not just content.
- 3
Score It
Timed practice under real exam conditions, examiner-standard marking, monthly feedback, run from September to May.
Plus: two live weekly classes (recorded), under 10 students per cohort, monthly examiner-marked assessment with written feedback, and support between lessons.
Is this still the right fit?
This is right if:
- You left the call with a clear answer for what's standing between the current grade and the target
- Your child is willing to commit to two classes a week and their own work between sessions
- You'd rather pay once for the right support through to final exams than try something cheaper first
This isn't right if:
- You're still weighing this mainly on price
- Your child isn't genuinely on board with this themselves
- You want more time before deciding, so see the deposit option below
Our Grade Guarantee
If your child attends our live sessions and completes the monthly assessments, and hasn't increased by 2 grades in the first 3 months, they'll get a free place on our next intensive booster course in the school holidays, at no extra cost, to help close the gap before their final exams.
One student, D to A*: “I am so pleased to say thanks to your course I've come out with an A*. Over the last 2 years, the highest grade I'd ever received in geography was a D.”
Pricing
For context, good Geography tutors typically charge £50 to £100 an hour for 1-1. Even at the top of that range, a year of 1-1 tuition adds up to well beyond what the full Blueprint costs, and this includes examiner marking, monthly assessments and support most 1-1 tutors don't offer.
Twice-weekly A* Blueprint
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| 9 monthly instalments | £400/month, £3,600 across the year |
| Paid upfront | £3,500, a genuine £100 saving. Klarna available at checkout, split into 3 equal interest-free payments of £1,166.67 |
| Termly | £1,400 per term (3-month minimum) |
One class a week
A lighter-touch option: one live class a week instead of two, with the same examiner marking and monthly assessments. Some families start here and upgrade to the full twice-weekly Blueprint as exams get closer.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| 9 monthly instalments | £250/month, £2,250 across the year |
| Paid upfront | £2,000, a genuine £250 saving |
This isn't the cheapest Geography support available. Most families who reach us have already tried something cheaper.
