1 x 1:1 On-Boarding Call


Personal 1-1 coaching call with Rachel so she can get to know you as an individual and you can talk 1-1. You'll be invited to share what you'd like to get from joining the group and worries or concerns you have, so she can set you up for success.

Weekly live student coaching

We’ll meet each week on a group zoom call on either a Tuesday or Thursday at 5.30-6.00.

Each week we'll work on one thing to improve current approach and trouble shoot any challenges you have.

We cover the same topic on both the Tuesday and Thursday call each week, so you only need to attend on one day.

All calls are recorded and available for replay.

Self-study course

Alongside our live weekly coaching calls, you'll progress through the proven Ace Your Exams learning pathway (5-15 mins videos).

You’ll hit activity milestones after each module so you’ll implement and get feedback as you go, gradually building your skills, motivation and belief and improving your grades.

This will take around 15 minutes each week on average.

Quarterly family review calls

During onboarding and after each set of mock exams we'll have a call as a team.

We'll chat through progress in terms of grades and what's going well. We'll also identify the challenges and make a personalised plan to build your confidence and grades going forward.

Student community

You’ll be part of the Ace Your Exams Community on Skool, surrounded by other teens working together to improve.

Supported by me and my student mentors who will provide peer-support and share their top tips too.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will this course take? My son/daughter is already busy.

The programme is designed to fit easily around a busy schedule — it takes about 1 hour per week on average, similar to the time you’d spend with a subject tutor.

Weekly coaching call – 30 minutes, for three weeks of each month.


Exam masterclass – 1 hour, in the week when there’s no coaching call.


Rather than adding to their workload, this course is actually designed to save time.

Students learn how to stay organised, work more efficiently, and procrastinate less.

In fact, many tell us they gain back more time than they invest thanks to being more productive and motivated.

My son or daughter is nervous about being on a Zoom call - should they still sign up?

It’s completely normal for students to feel nervous at first. But once they see that everyone is in the same situation, they quickly relax and start to enjoy being part of the group.

Many say they find it reassuring to hear from other students, realise they’re not alone in their struggles, and even make new friends — some students have even met in real life!

Joining our Zoom sessions can also be a great boost to your teen’s confidence and personal development.

And with our Love It or Leave It 30‑day money‑back guarantee, there’s no risk — if they join and don’t love it, you’ll get a full refund.

What if my teen can't make the live calls?

All the calls are recorded and put on our course platform Skool, so they can watch them back at any time.

However, for maximum benefit, students should aim to attend a live coaching call weekly where possible. We know that the most engaged students make the most progress, and one way to keep students engaged and on-track are the live calls.

My son or daughter doesn't meet your grade requirements - can they still join?

Possibly. Book in a 15 mins chat with me here first so we can talk it through as I want to ensure your son/daughter will get a good outcome from the course.

It may be that they require more intensive support that this programme could provide, however this depends on your individual circumstances. The grades are there as a good guide but of course, there are always exceptions.

This isn't about excluding people. This is about ensuring that this course is the right investment to meet your needs.

My son or daughter has a learning difference or SEND need - would this be suitable for them?

Yes! Many students join us who have dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, ASD or many other learning differences. As long as they are in mainstream education, averaging at least a grade 4 and are aiming to sit higher maths and science papers, then they should absolutely join.

We are really passionate about supporting learning differences as these should not hold you back from doing brilliantly in your exams.

My son or daughter is aiming for Oxbridge - would this programme still help them?

Absolutely. Every year we have several students who join us aiming for straight 9's at GCSE.

These students benefit from gaining the study skills to make them more effective, gaining the motivation to keep going (without burning themselves out) and lastly by boosting their self-belief that they can achieve, as it takes a lot of effort and resilience to achieve the very top grades.

Are exam masterclasses just for Ace Your Exam students and are they recorded?

Yes they are exclusive to our members and yes they are all recorded to watch back in the course app.

My son or daughter doesn't want to join but I think it would be really good for them. Should I still sign them up?

If your teen doesn’t want to sign-up, we’d recommend they join a free webinar or watch some of our video content so that they can experience a taste of the programme and get to know Rachel as a coach. 

If after this your teen still has questions, then we would recommend you book a free 15 minute chat with Rachel. It's important your teen is bought in before they join.

This is because we want your son or daughter to get a good result from joining our programme. In our experience, students who get the best results are the ones who join the programme engaged in the idea - even if they are a little nervous (this is natural).    

Will you mark assignments?

No, we won’t mark any assignments. 


We will however, teach you the best resources and techniques to use to become a motivated, independent learner, and find answers for yourself using all the high quality free resources help available on the internet.  

If you want personalised, guided subject support then this would be best covered by a subject-specialist tutor.


If you choose to invest in a tutor then we would always recommend you try and get a fully qualified teacher who also marks exam papers for your specific exam board. 

Does Rachel (Academic Coach) lead all the sessions?

Yes Rachel leads live coaching calls each week.

Exam masterclasses are run by fully qualified and experienced teachers.
