The GCSE Reset Course
Rebuilding skills, confidence, and motivation after a difficult first attempt.
Who this course is for
This course is for students resitting GCSE English Language (AQA) in November 2025. It’s designed for those who need a clear structure, targeted practice, and a supportive environment to get back on track quickly.
What the course covers
Across this intensive programme, students will:
-
Strengthen reading skills - understanding and analysing unseen texts
-
Develop writing skills - crafting clear, structured, and purposeful responses
-
Practise exam-style questions under timed conditions
-
Learn proven exam strategies to manage pressure and maximise marks
The focus is solely on the AQA English Language exam, ensuring every session is practical, relevant, and results-driven.
Why small groups work
With no more than 4 students per group, everyone receives individual feedback while benefiting from the encouragement of peers in the same situation. This keeps learning engaging, prevents students from feeling isolated, and makes tuition more affordable than 1-to-1.
