A UK tutoring agency that personally matches students with vetted and qualified tutors.
WHO WE ARE
The Degree Gap is a UK-based company that knows education inside out. Outside of tutoring, we run webinars for thousands of parents, speak at schools about GCSE and A-Level preparation, and have spent years listening to the same worries you're probably about to bring to us. We find you tutors with the grades but also the compassion and ability to listen to your child's worries.
That is what got us voted GCSE Tutoring Specialists of the Year at the 2026 Prestige Awards and why we have over 100 5 star reviews.
Speak to one of us about your child →How It Works
No long forms. No waiting lists. Just a quick conversation, the right tutor, and sessions that start moving the grade from week one.
Subject, year group, exam board, and what your child is actually trying to fix or push for. One short call, no pressure.
Every tutor is interviewed on subject knowledge, teaching style, and how they work with young people. We match on all three.
Online one-to-one through Lessonspace, weekly and consistent. The first change parents tend to notice is how their child talks about the subject, not the grade.

What parents tell us
Over 100 five-star reviews on Google. A few from parents and students we've worked with recently.
The Degree Gap has exceeded all my expectations. They have gone above and beyond to pair both my sons with the appropriate tutors, all of whom have been exceptional. Both my sons exceeded their expected grades in their GCSEs and A Levels and got into their first choice universities.
My son, who is in Year 10, really struggled with English and was completely disengaged from the subject. After six months of tutoring, he has improved from a grade 5 to a 6/7. He now looks forward to his lessons.
My son gained almost two grades higher than his year 13 mock paper. His tutor was excellent.
My tutor was amazing. He helped me shape my personal statement into something I was truly proud of, and thanks to his support, I got into my dream university. Highly recommend to anyone applying to uni.
