Clear models + step-by-step feedback. Sessions are interactive and focused on moving you up grade bands with targeted practice.

One transparent rate: €50 for 1:1, or €33.50 per person in groups of 2–5 (that’s a 33% saving each).
How Our Grinds Work – 45–50 minutes that count
- Pre-session intake (via email) — Once you book, you’ll be emailed a short form to fill in. This ensures the session is 100% tailored towards your needs.
- Live Zoom grind (45–50 mins) — Tight, focused teaching with worked examples and live feedback.
- Optional homework — You’ll receive a targeted task; submit it to get follow-up feedback to confirm improvement on the weak area.
Shorter sessions keep concentration high and remove filler — you get the exact teaching you asked for, then a task to cement it.

FAQs
Why 45–50 minutes, not a full hour?
It eliminates filler. Your intake form defines the target; we teach that precisely, then you get an optional task with feedback to confirm progress.
Do you cover both papers?
Yes — Paper 1 (comprehension & composition) and Paper 2 (poetry, comparative, single text) at Higher and Ordinary Levels.
How do group bookings work?
Groups are 2–5 students. Each pays €33.50 per session. Booking is handled individually through the group link — each student reserves and pays for their spot.
Can I reschedule?
With 24h notice where possible; missed sessions without notice may be charged in full.
