The 25-minute free diagnostic
We work through three carefully selected problems together. David observes how the student annotates questions, handles dead ends, and explains their reasoning—identifying exact conceptual hurdles without pressure.
Wren Academic Tuition
Building deep mathematical intuition, not just memorised tricks.

House standards
Transparent 4-week reviews
We do not lock families into long contracts. Every four weeks, we review topic progress against exam mark schemes so parents and students clearly see tangible gains in working fluency.
Interactive digital whiteboard
Online students receive a shared digital board with full session notes exported as a PDF immediately after every lesson, building a personal revision notebook.
Reasoning over formula memorisation
Exam boards penalise memorised answers applied blindly. We focus on why methods work, ensuring unfamiliar questions in the exam hall do not cause panic.

Common enquiries
Which exam boards do you cover?
Edexcel, AQA, and OCR (including OCR MEI) for both GCSE and A-Level. We align worksheets and terminology with your school's specific syllabus specification.
What equipment is needed for online lessons?
A laptop or desktop with webcam and microphone. A graphic drawing tablet or stylus is helpful for writing equations, but pen-and-paper camera feeds work well too.
Can parents sit in on lessons?
Yes, parents are welcome to observe lessons at any time, whether in the Cotham studio or on video calls.
How do cancellations work?
Lessons can be rescheduled or cancelled with at least 24 hours notice at no fee. We ask for consistency to keep steady weekly momentum.
