GCSE Resit Tuition

If your child received a grade 3 in English this summer, the November resit is their opportunity to move forward with confidence.  At Hicks Home Learning, I specialise in helping students bridge the gap between a near miss and a secure pass, with calm, focused teaching that tackles the exact skills examiners are looking for. 


Whether you are looking for One-to-One or group tuition, my structured approach can help your child secure the pass they need.

 ✨ "When teaching GCSE resit classes, many of Jo's students are able to achieve a grade 4 in the November resit and the progress made by her resit classes is above the national average." ✨


Mr Packman, English Teacher and Data Lead.  See Testimonials

For students who need personalised support, I offer one-to-one resit tuition alongside the group course. These sessions are entirely bespoke and designed around each student’s specific exam performance.


I work directly with families and schools to:

  • Identify the grade achieved on each paper in the summer exam.
  • Pinpoint the exact questions or skills that caused difficulty.
  • Build a targeted plan that focuses on the areas to improve.


Format: weekly sessions, with flexible dates and times to suit each student.

Payment and Cancellations Policy


Sessions are paid for in advance by bank transfer. I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, as this helps me offer that slot to another student. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may still be charged. Please refer to the Policies and Information page for full details.
