WHY CHOOSE US
Why Chesham families come to The Degree Gap
Two kinds of Chesham student arrive at their first session. The first is a grammar school student doing fine on paper but stuck at a grade band below their potential, usually because the school's pace assumes a level of independent study time they haven't built yet. The second is a non-selective student who's been told the top grades are a stretch, when actually the content is there but the exam technique isn't. Both are familiar. Both are fixable.
What changes is the focus. For the first student, sessions push past the textbook into the analytical depth A-Level papers reward. For the second, sessions go straight into past papers, marked the way the exam board marks, so the student can see precisely where the marks are. Most parents tell us the first thing they notice isn't the grade. It's the way their child talks about a mark scheme.

TRUSTED BY SCHOOLS & PARENTS
One-to-One Tutoring for Chesham Students
A lot of Chesham families come to us with the same story. They moved out of London for the schools and the space. They expected the schools would carry the academic load that the move was supposed to make easier. And in most cases the schools do an honest job. But a class of 30, with a curriculum that has to move, can only stretch a strong student so far. By Year 10 a parent often notices their child is bright, doing the work, and quietly coasting at a grade band below what they're capable of.
Our Chesham tutors work with that gap directly. For students at Chesham Grammar, Dr Challoner's Grammar or Dr Challoner's High, that means going beyond the syllabus pace into the analytical depth A* answers demand. For students at any other secondary across Chesham and Amersham, it means giving ambition the one-to-one attention a class of thirty rarely has room for. And for Year 5 and 6 families thinking about the 11+, it means proper preparation in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English and Maths well before the test.
High Quality Standards
Every tutor working with Chesham students is assessed on subject depth and on exam-board fluency. For grammar and competitive sixth form tuition, a tutor who knows the AQA, Edexcel or OCR mark scheme cold is worth ten generally-good teachers.
Experienced Tutors
Our tutors have prepared students for the Buckinghamshire Transfer Test, grammar school sixth form entry, Russell Group applications and Oxbridge offers. They know what the standard at Chesham Grammar and the Challoner schools actually looks like at A-Level, and how to coach a student towards it without burning them out.
Personalised Learning
We don't run set programmes. For a Chesham student, tuition is shaped around their specific test, exam board or target grade, with sessions that stretch the student precisely where the next mark band sits.
OUR GLOWING REVIEWS
100+ 5-Star Reviews From Parents And Students
I was really pleased to discover the Degree Gap when my daughter needed help getting the grades she needed for GCSEs. The team offer a really personalised service and I felt really well looked after from the start. There are lots of tutors to choose from and all subjects are catered for, with great flexibility on timings. Highly recommend.
My son has been receiving tutor lessons in A Level History and A Level Sociology since the beginning of this year. The tutor has been such a tremendous support, teaching him content as well as exam technique.
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. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
My tutor was an excellent teacher that helped me gain real grip of the complicated areas in my subjects like economics. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to consistently perform at their best.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you support students aiming for grammar schools in Chesham?
Yes. We work with students preparing for the Buckinghamshire Transfer Test (11+) for Chesham Grammar, Dr Challoner's Grammar and Dr Challoner's High, as well as competitive sixth form entry. Tutors know what these tests look for and prepare students accordingly, not just on content but on how to perform under timed conditions.
Do you offer online tutoring for students in Chesham?
Yes, and it's how most of our sessions run. Students get access to a wider pool of tutors, sessions are easier to keep consistent, and most students concentrate better one-to-one online than they do in a classroom. It works well.
How much does tutoring cost in Chesham?
Sessions start from £37 per hour. The exact rate depends on the subject and the tutor, and it's always agreed before anything is booked. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Is one-to-one tutoring better than group sessions?
For most students, yes. The whole session is about them. Their gaps, their questions, their pace. No waiting for others to catch up. For students in Chesham who struggle to ask questions in front of others, it's often the thing that changes everything.
Online tutoring for Chesham students that matches on subject and spec
Most of our work with Chesham families runs online through Lessonspace, our shared whiteboard built for one-to-one sessions. The best tutor for a Chesham Grammar A-Level Maths student isn't necessarily the one who lives nearest. We match on subject, exam board and the kind of teaching the student responds to, then sessions run from home, with no commute on either side.
And online tutoring fits around a Chesham timetable in a way that in-person tuition rarely can. No travel, no dropped homework time, and weekly consistency is much easier to maintain. Most students concentrate harder one-to-one online than in a busy classroom, partly because there's nowhere to hide. Lessonspace takes about a minute to learn, and sessions are recorded so a student can revisit the bits that didn't quite click.
