Online tutoring is a practical, effective way to support a student’s learning, whether they’re at school or home educated. Lionheart Education specialises in one-to-one online tutoring for KS2, KS3, GCSE, and A-Level, in subjects as diverse as English, Maths, Economics, Computer Science, and Latin with every tutor matched to the individual needs of the student.

The appeal is flexibility. You can work with experienced tutors who don’t live nearby, fit sessions around school, family life, and extracurriculars, and avoid the end-of-day travel to another location. This format particularly suits students from Year 7 to A-Level, who are juggling school timetables, after-school clubs, and revision.

Every session is structured to maximise learning at a pace the student is comfortable with. For families with unconventional arrangements part-time school, SEND, travel online tuition adapts around your weekly routine.

Online tutors for every age and stage 

Lionheart offers online private tuition for students of all ages, from the youngest to the oldest, to help them excel academically. We have hundreds of tutors ready to create bespoke sessions for your child, whether it’s an all-round approach to education, hybrid tutoring, or specific support for particular subjects. Our online tuition covers a wide range of subjects, including English and Maths, as well as History, Geography, and all of the individual sciences.

  • Online KS2/KS3 tutoring

    Before secondary school, children begin to learn educational foundations such as reading, comprehension, and arithmetic that set the stage for their journey through school. With an online tutor in Year 5 or 6, families can also prepare for the 7+ and 11+ examinations alongside regular school work if necessary.

  • Online GCSE tutoring

    We offer both online GCSE tutors and tutors for IGCSE students. Our tutors have a solid understanding of all the major GCSE exam boards, including Cambridge, OCR, and Edexcel, and can tailor sessions based on the exact course your child is taking. From broad support at GCSE to subject-specific sessions, an online tutor makes a huge difference at this level.

  • Online A-Level tutoring

    With a noticeable step up from GCSE content and learning styles, A-Levels offer a depth and breadth of study that students have not encountered so far. Trying to navigate three or four subjects in far greater detail can be challenging for even the most competent of learners, so our online A-Level tutors help to bring a sense of order to the chaos.

  • Online IB tutoring

    If a student is taking the International Baccalaureate route through secondary school, then trying to juggle 6 subjects at once, in addition to extra components such as Theory of Knowledge, it can quickly become confusing. IB online tutors help students to get organised and succeed in each of the topics individually for the highest grades.

  • Online SEND tutoring

    Students with SEND can often find busy classrooms distracting, which has a knock-on effect on how they absorb the syllabus material and ultimately how they perform in exam situations. With our online tutors, SEND pupils get the specific and targeted support they need in a calm and focused environment.

How online tutoring works with Lionheart

Thanks to over 35 years of offering online tuition to students in the UK and internationally, we have perfected our approach to private tutoring at home conducted online. We aim to make our online tuition equally as effective as in-person tuition, with the very same tutors teaching both styles of session for maximum impact. The best online lessons follow a one-on-one format that is shaped around the student’s personality, the way they learn best, and the subjects they are taking. We create a full profile of the student before matching them with a tutor to ensure that the sessions are focused and meet the needs of the student.

Focused, specific online tutoring

Trained specifically to deliver online tutoring with a range of tools at their disposal, our tutors know how to communicate with students in the best way possible, just as if they were there in the room. A fair amount of work at GCSE and A-Level depends on discussion and written feedback, as well as understanding where mistakes were made in mock papers set by tutors or the school. 

With the online tools available to them, tutors can simplify the process and go through questions one by one, ensuring complete understanding before moving on to the next topic. Lessons are fully interactive between student and tutor, and move at the pace of the student, just as they would with in-person sessions. For younger children, extra effort is taken to make sure they stay engaged throughout the session, and break down work into manageable blocks so they never feel overwhelmed.

Frequently asked questions

  • What are the benefits of online private tuition for GCSE and A-Level students?

    Online tuition for GCSE and A-Level students works so well because it is able to combine academic focus with the flexibility around their extracurricular activities and social life. Older students tend to have busier schedules, and online lessons make it easy to fit tutoring around school or college, revision time, and other commitments. Our tutors are experts at teaching students purely using online methods, so whether it’s worked examples, past papers reviews, or insightful discussions, we make sure it is as effective online as in-person.

  • What technology do I need for online tuition?

    Online tuition only requires a laptop or desktop computer with a camera/microphone and an internet connection. Some students choose to use headphones too to improve concentration for their tutoring session. Tutors share documents directly with the student, and screensharing coupled with digital whiteboards makes online learning simple and efficient.

  • How long is a typical online tutoring session?

    Lessons typically run for 60 minutes, but we also offer extended lessons for students in GCSE and A-Level if more material needs to be covered in a short space of time. For younger children, 45 to 60 minutes is enough so they don’t lose concentration or get frustrated trying to fit too much into a single lesson. Our online tutoring is flexible to the hours and days you’d prefer your child to learn. 

  • Will my child be able to ask questions easily in an online lesson?

    When you choose online tutoring with Lionheart, it will be just as if the tutor is in the same room as your child, with the freedom to ask questions at any time. This is one of the major benefits of one-on-one tuition, as the tutor’s time is devoted to your child for the full session to answer any queries and give thorough explanations.

  • Do your online tutors in the UK have a DBS check?

    Our online tutors undergo the same thorough vetting as our in-person tutors before they begin working with families. We ensure Enhanced DBS checks are carried out, alongside multiple interviews and reference checks. When you choose Lionheart tutors, you can be sure that all aspects of safeguarding have been taken care of to the highest standards to ensure a professional tutoring service every time.
