“My daughter is now far more switched on, more ambitious with what she wants to achieve and more self-starting. Rachel has made a huge difference for us.”


“Louis really enjoyed working with Rachel and the study system he has now has transformed his way of working and his grades! My one wish is that we'd know about this before Year 13!”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes they are exclusive to our members and yes they are all recorded to watch back in the course app.
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).
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.
Yes Rachel leads live coaching calls each week.
Exam masterclasses are run by fully qualified and experienced teachers.
