Examiner & Board Insight

Taught by someone who sat the same papers

Mark Scheme Diagnostic Report

British schools do not all follow the same examination board. One school runs AQA across every subject; another mixes Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge; a third teaches the international versions of all three. A tutor who was taught and then trained in that system has usually worked across several boards, and in many cases sat those examinations themselves.

That matters more than it sounds. A tutor who knows a specification from the inside can tell the difference between a child who does not understand the topic and a child who does not understand the question. In a mock paper those two problems look identical, and they need completely different lessons. It is the distinction that quietly costs the most marks, and it is very hard to see from a textbook.

How We Match

We recommend.
You choose.

Bespoke Tutor Match Shortlist

Some agencies assign a tutor and hope. Others hand you a directory of two hundred profiles and leave you to work through it. We do neither.

Tell us about your child and we will send you a short list, usually two tutors per subject, with their background, the boards they have taught and how they work, together with our view on who fits and why we think so.

You then get to know the tutor you are considering — a short call or a recorded introduction, depending on the tutor — before anything is booked.

The decision stays with you, because you know your child and we know our tutors.

Our Standards

Your child will be taught by someone you have not met.

Safeguarded Online Learning Environment

So we publish the standards we hold ourselves to: where lessons happen, how tutors are expected to behave, what we keep and what we do not, and the name of the person to contact if something concerns you.

You are welcome to sit in on any lesson, at any time, without arranging it first.

Transparent Tuition

What it costs, before you have to ask

Lessons are priced per hour transparently. Three things move the rate: the subject, the level, and the experience of the tutor teaching it. Different subjects and levels require different kinds of expertise, and the rate reflects this.

Tell us what you need and we will give you a clear figure. There is no registration fee, no matching fee, and nothing added later.

Start with a conversation

A few minutes on the form, then a short list, a recommendation, and a chance to meet the tutor — by call or video introduction — before you decide anything.

There is no package to buy and no minimum number of lessons, so what you are choosing at the end of all that is a first lesson, not a commitment.

Simple Journey

From inquiry to your first lesson

Four straightforward steps designed around parent convenience and academic fit.

01
Step 1 • ~2 Minutes

Tell us about your child

Nine questions, about two minutes on a phone. The subject, the level, the examination board if you know it, where your child is now, where they need to be, and when they are free. If there is something you would rather say out loud than type, say so and we will call you instead.

02
Step 2 • Within 24 Hours

We send a short list and a recommendation

Within 24 hours. Usually two tutors per subject, with their background, the boards they have taught, how they work, and our view on which of them suits your child, with the reason. If we need more detail before we can do that properly, we will ask.

03
Step 3 • Tutor Introduction · Meet Before You Decide

You get to know the tutor, then decide

Depending on the tutor, this is a short video call with a parent present, or a recorded introduction where they talk you through how they teach. Either way, it's there so your child knows who they're working with before the first lesson, not during it.

04
Step 4 • Flexible Scheduling

Lessons begin

We schedule around your week, send the joining link before every lesson, and pass on anything the tutor has prepared. Book weekly through the school year, or intensively in the weeks before an examination. There is no package and no minimum number of lessons.

Lesson Delivery

How a lesson runs

Lesson Delivery and Written Reports
Transparent progress & post-lesson notes
Duration Options

Sixty or ninety minutes, on a link we send you. Sixty suits younger students and steady weekly work. Ninety suits examination preparation, where there is time to work through a full paper and then talk about it properly.

Cancellation & Rescheduling

Lessons moved or cancelled with more than twenty four hours’ notice are not charged. Inside twenty four hours the lesson is charged, because the tutor’s time is already committed and paid for. Illness and emergencies are treated sensibly.

If a tutor cannot make a lesson, you are not charged and we offer a replacement time.

Written Reports After Every Class

After every lesson your tutor writes a short report: what was covered, what your child can now do without help, what is still weak, and what to practise before next time. You can read them whenever you like, so you can follow progress without having to ask.

Time Zones

Times that suit a school day in the Gulf

Our tutors are in the United Kingdom, three hours behind Doha. Most families choose late afternoon or early evening in their own time, which falls in the early afternoon here. Weekend mornings work well too. Every time we confirm is written in both zones, so nobody is converting in their head.

Fees & Billing

What it costs

Clear, upfront billing with zero hidden registration fees or lock-ins.

Lessons are priced per hour transparently. Three things move the rate: the subject, the level, and the experience of the tutor teaching it.

Your rate covers the lesson itself, the tutor’s preparation, any materials used, the written report after every lesson, and our work arranging and adjusting things as you go. There is no registration fee and no matching fee. The figure we quote is the figure you pay.

Vetting Criteria

What we require, stated plainly

Our four non-negotiable requirements for every tutor representing LEC Premium.

1. Degree in the Discipline

A degree in the subject, from a recognized university. Not in education with that subject as a minor; in the subject itself.

2. UK Enhanced DBS & Verbal References

An enhanced criminal record check (DBS) from the United Kingdom, renewed regularly. Two professional references, taken by voice rather than email.

3. Observed Lesson Audition

An observed lesson with an experienced teacher before we take them on.

4. Exact Exam Board Mastery

And experience with the examination boards our families sit, because knowing chemistry and knowing how AQA marks chemistry are not the same thing.

Definitions

On the word qualified

Understanding the critical difference between classroom management and one-to-one subject mastery.

Classroom Training vs. 1-to-1 Insight

Many agencies use the phrase qualified teacher as if it answers every question. A UK teaching qualification (QTS) is training in classroom management, differentiation across thirty children, and curriculum administration. Those are real skills, but they are not the skills of one-to-one tuition.

A child who is struggling with Further Mathematics does not need classroom management. They need a mathematician who can see in thirty seconds which step in a proof went wrong and why.

Some of our tutors hold QTS; many are subject experts, examiners, or academics. We tell you which on every profile we send.

Recruitment Integrity

How our tutors come to us

Peer-Recommended Faculty
Dedicated Long-Term Commitment
No Open Directory Bidding

Mostly by recommendation from other tutors. We do not advertise on open platforms and we do not accept applicants who treat tuition as an afterthought between other jobs.

We pay properly, we tell them about the student before they accept, and we do not expect them to pitch for work against twenty other people. In return we expect them to turn up on time, prepare properly, and stay with a child until the examination is sat.

Pedagogy

How our tutors work with your child

Our teaching philosophy focuses on active problem solving and supportive mentorship.

Listening First

The first job is not teaching; it is listening. A child who has had a bad term in Physics usually knows where they feel lost, even if they do not know the technical term for it. A good tutor lets them show it before jumping in with explanations.

Conversational, Not Lectures

Lessons are conversational, not lectures. The student does the writing and the student works through the question, with the tutor intervening only when the thinking goes off track.

GCSE and IGCSE tuition that closes the gap before the first paper

Two years of content, nine or ten subjects, and one set of examinations that decides which A-levelss are open. Tuition at this level is about finding the specific gap and closing it, not about covering everything again.

GCSE and IGCSE Tuition
GCSE Past Papers
What we cover

The core subjects, and the ones your child chose and then found harder than expected

Mathematics, English language and literature, and the sciences, whether taken as three separate subjects or as combined science. Beyond the core we teach the subjects students pick and then struggle with: history, geography, French, Spanish, Arabic, business, economics, computer science, religious studies and design technology.

Tell us the subject and the board and we will tell you honestly whether we have the right tutor for it.

Who it suits

Three students, and all of them are ours

The first understands the content and loses marks on how the question is asked. The second fell behind during a move, and is now being taught new material on top of a gap nobody has gone back to fill. The third is comfortably on a grade 7 and wants an 8 or a 9, which is a different job from catching up and needs a different kind of tutor.

We match on the problem, not only on the subject. A student who has lost confidence in year 10 needs something other than a student who is chasing the top grade, and the same teaching style is not automatically right for both.

One-to-One GCSE Tuition
GCSE Exam Board Mastery
What a tutor for this needs to know

Boards differ less in content than in how they ask

The content overlap between the GCSE boards is large. The differences that cost marks are in how questions are worded, how mark schemes are structured, and what an examiner is looking for in a six-mark answer, which is not the same at AQA as it is at OCR.

IGCSE differs further. The assessment structure is not identical, and it assumes less prior knowledge of specifically British context, which matters a great deal for a child who has never lived in the United Kingdom. We match to the board your child is sitting, and if you do not know which it is, tell us the school and we will find out.

How lessons are structured

Diagnose first, then teach

The first two lessons are diagnostic. The tutor is working out whether your child cannot remember the content, or can remember it and cannot apply it, or knows it and is losing marks on question technique. Those three problems look the same on a report and need entirely different lessons.

After that, each lesson covers one topic and the examination questions that go with it. Nothing is left as theory; everything is tested on real past paper questions before the lesson ends.

A-levels tuition that teaches students to think in the subject, not only to memorise it

The jump from GCSE to A-levels is where memorisation stops working. A-levels rewards students who can construct an argument, handle an unfamiliar context, and apply what they know to a problem they have not seen before.

A-levels Tuition
A-levels Disciplines
What we cover

The traditional academic disciplines

Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Economics and Business. English Literature and History. Psychology, Sociology and Politics. French, Spanish and Arabic.

Where a student is taking an International A-levels (IAL) with modular assessment in January and June, we plan revision around those specific sittings rather than the linear two-year model.

Who it suits

Students who need to turn a B into an A, or an A into an A*

At A-levels, the difference between grades is rarely about effort. It is almost always about depth of understanding and the precision of written work. A student working towards an A* in Chemistry needs to understand reaction mechanisms at a molecular level, not merely learn the steps. A student aiming for top marks in Economics needs to evaluate, not just describe.

We pair A-levels students with tutors who have studied the subject at university and know where the boundaries of the syllabus sit.

A-levels Grade Mastery
A-levels Top Boundaries
What a tutor for this needs to know

Examiner expectations at the top boundary

Mark schemes at A-levels are strict. In STEM subjects, credit is withheld for missing units, imprecise definitions, or unstated assumptions. In essay subjects, top-band marks require sustained analytical focus and clear structure.

Our A-levels tutors have mastered these papers themselves and understand exactly what examiners reward in synoptic and extended-response questions.

How lessons are structured

Problem-solving and rigorous critique

Lessons at this level feel more like university tutorials. Students work through challenging multi-step problems, discuss essay plans, and dissect recent mark schemes. Between lessons, work is set and marked with detailed annotations so lesson time is spent on breakthroughs rather than routine checking.

What a tutor for this needs to know

The specific criteria of the IBO

University admissions support, from people who have sat on the other side of it

Competitive admissions is a separate discipline from A-levels teaching. The grades get an application read. What happens after that is the personal statement, an admissions test, and in many cases an interview designed specifically to find out how a candidate thinks when they do not know the answer.

University Admissions Mentors
Assessed Components
What we cover

The parts of an application that are actually assessed

Course and college choice. The UCAS personal statement. Admissions tests, including the UCAT for medicine and dentistry, the TMUA and ESAT for mathematics, engineering and the sciences, the LNAT for law, and the Oxford subject tests. Interview preparation for Oxford, Cambridge and medicine. And support with US applications where a student is applying in both systems.

Who it suits

Strong candidates competing against other strong candidates

Almost everyone applying for these courses has the grades. What separates applications is how well a candidate can talk about their subject beyond the syllabus, how they handle a question with no obvious route in, and whether the written application says something specific rather than something enthusiastic.

Competitive Candidates
Oxbridge Interview Prep
What a tutor for this needs to know

What an interview is actually testing

An Oxford or Cambridge interview is a short supervision. The interviewer is not checking knowledge; they are watching how a candidate reasons out loud, takes a hint, and revises a wrong answer without losing their nerve. That can be practised, and it is very obvious in an interview who has practised it and who has been coached to recite.

Admissions tests each reward something different, and a tutor needs to know which. Preparation that works for the UCAT is close to useless for the TMUA. We match to the test, not to the subject.

How lessons are structured

Reading, writing, then thinking out loud

Spring and summer: course choice, wider reading, and the beginnings of the personal statement, drafted by the student and worked on rather than written for them. Late summer and autumn: admissions test preparation on a schedule that fits around A-levels teaching. November and December: interviews, practised repeatedly, with unfamiliar material every time.

Admissions Mock Supervisions
Honest Admissions Advice
What we do not promise

Nobody can promise you an offer

Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What we can do is make sure the application says what it should, that the test is prepared for properly, and that your child has had ten difficult conversations about their subject before the one that counts.

In that time we have learned what families here actually want: a tutor who knows the British system from the inside, who is available at a sensible hour, and who treats one child’s progress as the whole job.

“We do not sell bundles of thirty lessons up front and we do not lock parents into long-term contracts. What we offer is careful matching, tutors who know their subject deeply, and honest advice about what a child needs before anything is booked.”

Whether preparing for IGCSEs, A-levelss, the IB Diploma, or competitive admissions to Oxford, Cambridge, and leading medical schools, we match with precision and uphold the highest academic standards.

Core Principles

How our tuition standards protect your child

Clear commitments that define every lesson, every recommendation, and every interaction.

01

True Subject Specialism

No generalist tutors. Your child learns directly from degree-qualified subject experts who know the exact syllabus.

02

Zero Contract Lock-Ins

Pay only for scheduled lessons. If a tutor is not the right fit, we replace or refund with zero friction.

03

Time-Zone Synchronised

Gulf evening lessons correspond with UK afternoons when tutors are alert, refreshed, and at their best.

04

Parental Transparency

Open lesson links allow parents to observe sessions unannounced at any time, with regular written progress reports.

Experience

The part of teaching you actually enjoy

No marking for thirty, no parents’ evenings, no department meetings, and no behaviour management. One student who needs your help, an hour of focused teaching, and a short report when you finish.

Schedule

Afternoons, not evenings

Because our students are in the Gulf, three hours ahead of the United Kingdom, their 5pm lesson is your 2pm. You finish teaching in the afternoon and have your evenings to yourself.

Fair Pay

Paid properly, and told what it is before you start

We pay competitive hourly rates, paid monthly and on time. We tell you the rate when we offer you a student, not after you have already taught the lesson.

Two-Minute Consultation

Tell us about your child

Nine questions, about two minutes. The more you tell us, the better the recommendation, but do not worry about fields you are unsure of. We personally review every enquiry and reply within 24 hours.
