The mock came back fine, but fine isn't what the sixth-form race in this part of Surrey rewards, and the grade has quietly stopped moving. Our Epsom GCSE tutors find the topic holding it back and rebuild the method until the marks climb again.

WHAT SHIFTED FOR ONE EPSOM FAMILY
Across Epsom and the wider borough, GCSE results sit comfortably above the England average, which sets a high bar at the school gate and inside the house. What that hides is the individual student whose grade has flattened while the class keeps moving. An Epsom GCSE tutor traces that flat spot to a specific topic and rebuilds from there.
"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. Through one-to-one tutoring he has learned effective strategies that help him approach English in a way that resonates with him."

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.
Parent of GCSE Student
My daughter was struggling with confidence in Maths GCSE and we decided to get a tutor. We were given a selection of tutors to choose from and told that if it did not feel like a good match we could try others. Our tutor was a complete star, listened, made it simple, set good homework and gave my daughter her confidence back. Highly recommend.
Parent of GCSE Student
The support given to my son by The Degree Gap's tutors was fabulous and he passed all his GCSE subjects. They provided experienced and organised tutors. Tutors provided resources targeting specific areas of difficulty. The website is easy to use and tutors were polite and on time.

This company helped us find a tutor for Geography and my son has excelled so much in just a few months. Our tutor has gone above and beyond, demonstrating incredible patience and encouraging my son to believe in himself. He also manages neurodiversity effectively.

Our tutor is simply amazing with our daughter. He understands her completely and her sessions are helping her with her school work so much. We cannot thank him enough.

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.

Get in touch and we'll connect you with the right GCSE tutor for your child. We'll ask a few questions about their subjects, year group, and exam board — and introduce you to a tutor who fits.
By working out where her marks are actually being lost, then closing that gap rather than reteaching everything. The tutor marks recent work the way the exam board does, spots the topics and technique costing the most, and drills those first. In a town where sixth-form places move fast, that focus is usually what moves a grade in time.
A plateau nearly always sits on top of one weak layer, often an algebra method or a Year 8 idea that never fully set. The tutor finds that layer, rebuilds it one-to-one, then works it through past-paper questions until it holds under timing. Parents tend to hear the change in how their child talks about Maths before a mark confirms it.
Yes. AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC each phrase questions and weight topics differently, so we match on board as well as subject. Tell us which one the school follows and the tutor works to that specification from the first session.
From £37 an hour, with the rate depending on the subject and the tutor's experience. It's always agreed up front, before any session is booked.
