GCSE

(Year 9 – Year 10)

GCSEs are a very hard but crucial part of most children’s education. Online learning is a great way for GCSE students to get the support they need, as it accessible and flexible around after-school commitments. We focus on mastering exam skills and techniques, as well as the important exam content.

Maths

Whether maths is your favourite or worst subject, we tutor both higher and foundation maths. At GCSE, it is important to ensure your child learns the exam content in-depth, so they can feel confident in answering any question.

We believe in building concrete foundations that will make maths easier. The exam questions can be tricky in maths, so we concentrate on nailing the exam skills and past exam questions, to enable your child to tackle any question. In the lessons, your child will cover the full exam content for their exam board and have access to all past exam questions.

English Language

Each child has individual strengths and weaknesses within English language, at Explore Apollo our tailored lessons allow each child to progress and succeed. At GCSE, English language exams require your child to know many skills, such as writing letters, speeches, and stories, analysing text. In the lessons, your child will learn how to master these techniques and be able to apply them to past exam papers.

Our specialised tutors have specific tools, teaching methods and skills which will give your child the support and guidance they need. While working on techniques for the exam, the lessons will also include crucial development on spelling, punctuation and grammar which are essential for the English language GCSE.

English Literature

For the English literature GCSE, we prepare your child for all aspects of the exam, from poetry to the 19th-century novel. Our tutors will focus on the key skills such as structuring your writing, so your child can reach their full potential.

With constant feedback and corrections, each pupil will be able to develop their knowledge so they can accomplish each step of their English language GCSE.

Science

Science exam questions can be very tricky, but the content is extremely interesting. At Explore Apollo we teach both combined and triple science, in higher and foundation. Our tutors recognise the importance of understanding the questions and being able to write answers using specific terminology.

Your child can choose to have tuition within Biology, chemistry and physics or select a specific science. Each lesson is made tailored to your child, with past exam questions and the knowledge they require. They will learn how to apply their knowledge to each exam question, giving a scientific answer.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

At Explore Apollo tuition we specialise in SEN tuition. Our GCSE special educational needs tuition allows every student to achieve their own individual success. At Explore Apollo tuition, we understand that every student is different and learns in a different way. We have tutors who are trained to teach SEN, who have experience working alongside different children with special educational needs.

We can cater for all needs, allowing everyone to have the same opportunities. By working together, your child can achieve better grades. Our tutors are trained within ADHD, dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia.

Really happy with the level of service from Finn. He has great communication and is always on hand ready to help and support our child with in any way he can.We started tuition during lockdown to support our daughters 11 plus tests in the future. Finn has created a custom package for us and helps our daughter with additional support material for each lesson.Would highly recommend Finn and his team and will be adding lessons for our other children in the near future.

Cannot say thank you enough to Finn. We contacted him after schools shutting for the second time to help with our 6 year old. We were worried about how much school he has missed and was looking for someone to help keep him interested and motivated to learn. It worked out brilliantly and I could not believe how he managed to keep him engaged for an hour each time. We are even hoping to continue with Finn after our son settles back into school. I was so impressed with the work our son was producing and without any of the moaning that I was receiving.

We found Finn from a local recommendation, and he started working with my 6 and 7 year old sons during the lockdown, helping them several times a week with English and Maths. For us homeschooling was a battle and after missing so much school this year it was a relief to know they were still learning and progressing.Finn kept them motivated, interested, and somehow managed to keep them engaged every single lesson! The boys loved learning with Finn and I am very sure we will be using Explore Apollo Tuition in the future.... I highly recommend and a massive thank you from all of us x

This young man has the patience of a saint. My 10-year-old is very bright but gets bored easily. Finnen, has gone out of his way to engage with Gabriel, which has worked fabulously. My son is going for his 11 plus and saying we have been in lockdown Finnen has done awesome job of keeping him up to date.

I first started using Finn and Mollie after a recommendation from a friend during lockdown and they have been amazing. My son is in year 9 and he throughout lockdown he has been doing Maths, Chemistry and English with FAU and he has been engaged and really enjoying the sessions. As he is not a child that naturally enjoys learning this shows just how good the tutors are. My son had to sit exams at the end of term and after not being in school and with no lessons other than the work set I am pleased to say his grades improved in all subjects where he has had the tutoring which I fantastic.

Not only this Finn and Mollie have inspired my son to go back to school with a new focus wanting to improve his grades and do well. I can not recommend this company enough.”
