Who are we?
The Academic Coach is a group of highly experienced teachers who have the passion and expertise that will help you excel. Every coach is a qualified teaching professional. All coaches have up-to-date DBS. Our coaches are carefully selected because they are excellent teachers – several of which hold a Masters in Education and have experience as examiners for various UK examination boards.
What is the lesson format?
Lessons take place using Microsoft Teams & Sharepoint for online collaboration. Our live, interactive sessions are taught in small groups. This makes sure we optimise effective collaborative learning without compromising on personal attention. Pupils are grouped by ability and lessons are tailored and differentiated to the needs of each student.
What do students need to take part in a lesson?
Students will need access to a laptop/tablet/smartphone along with good WIFI signal and connection. A fully-equipped pencil case and notepaper will be required. A calculator may also be essential for some subjects.
Which exam boards do you cover?
We predominantly teach in line with WJEC for GCSE and A-Level but, this varies from subject-to-subject. If you have any queries about compatibility with your local exam boards, just drop us a line.
Can you pay as you go?
Courses run every half-term, and typically last 5-8 weeks. Courses need to be purchased on our website. At the end of every half term you’ll get the option to sign up for the next term’s course. Most of our students find that once they’ve experienced their first lesson – there’s no looking back!
What makes The Academic Coach different?
We genuinely care about our students and their progression. Alongside the academic aspect of tutoring, we also give our students the extra personal support and encouragement they need to progress, make decisions, and navigate their educational options. We know we go that extra mile, but don’t just take our word for it – take a look at our reviews!
