Booster Workshops
High intensity workshops in Maths, English and Science
Interactive Monthly Booster Workshops
Stay on top of revision with our live and interactive online workshops held once a month for just £20/month.
Join our expert tutors to cover a pre-defined list of topics in each workshop. Sessions will include teaching theory, understanding how to tackle challenging problems, common pitfalls, and practice exercises! Over 12 months, our workshop aim to cover between 40-60 topic areas! Some of our workshops are even held in 2 different levels: Foundation (L3-L5) and Higher (L6-L9) so you have the freedom and flexibility to choose the right workshop for you.
Students can join our workshops for just £20/month (one subject). There are no binding contracts, simply pay as you go.

Every workshop will be supported with our practice paper packs and quizzes. These are released prior to your session to look over and attempt. Our workshops will help students understand how to tackle these problems, the best methods to use and how to apply the skills taught to improve speed and accuracy for similar problems.
Refresher Course
Ideal for students who want to refresh their knowledge and understanding of key topics.
Yearly Calendar
Never miss a session. Our workshop calendar and topic list is available at least 6 months in advance.
Boost Grades
Every workshop is taught with our teach-test-review methodology guaranteed to help boost confidence and attainment scores

Commonly Asked Questions
Whats Covered?
- Our workshops are designed to be an intensive programme to cover key topics from the syllabus.
- The topics covered in each workshop are listed in our calendar.
- Tutors will cover a combination of theory, practice questions and exam tips designed to enable each child to prepare adequately for their examinations.
- Workshops maybe available in two levels: foundation and higher.
- In many cases, our workshops cover questions that prove to be problematic for most students.
How Can I Join?
- Parents wishing to join this programmes can book their session by:
- Contacting us via email: [email protected]

- Telephone: 0203 603 9502
Our Tutors
Our approach to education is holistic and encompasses all aspects of learning that a student needs to truly thrive. Our methodology ensures that students receive a well rounded style of teaching that includes learning, practice, reconsolidating and reviewing their understanding regularly.
- Our teachers come from a background of academic specialisms in Maths ,English and Science. They are knowledgable and passionate about their subjects, and are able to support and inspire the young minds of the future.
- All of our teachers are recruited and trained by The Academy, to ensure ultimate consistency and methodology for our students.
- Teachers will have an equally impressive CV, having studied at prestigious universities in the fields of medicine, finance and law to name a few.
- Our tutors will be PGCE/ QTS qualified or have a wealth of experience working as private tutors.
- Each workshop will be hosted by 1 tutor, and 1 workshop manager who are together responsible for a seamless delivery.
Assessing Progress
- Every student enrolled will receive a practice pack – a collection of practice problems and past paper questions to attempt before each workshop. These are emailed or made available through a multiple choice questionnaire online.
- Students will be able to complete each section of their practice pack before our workshop.
- During the live workshop, our tutors will aim to cover the majority of these problems, paying particular attention to those questions answered most poorly in past examinations or workshops.
- Teachers will cover theory during the workshops and support this with some further practice questions for students to attempt online during the live session. Worked examples and these additional questions will help students self reflect and monitor their own performance within the session.
Students who wish to cover topics in more detail, can opt to join our weekly teaching sessions starting from just £8/hour. These are small group classes, held every week in Maths, English and Science.
Commonly Asked Questions
1. Are these 1-1 sessions?
Our workshops are not 1-1 sessions. These workshops are designed to be cost effective and affordable for all. Our workshops are group based teaching sessions and the number of students attending will vary month to month. For 1-1 tuition, please contact our team by writing to [email protected]
2. How do i know which session my child to attend?
A list of topics for upcoming workshops is listed on this page. Parents should decide on the most appropriate level for their child. For example, if your child is sitting a higher paper and is familiar with all the topics listed for a particular workshop, then it may be appropriate to join a higher level workshop aimed at students wishing to score a level 7, 8 or 9.
3. Can my child join both a foundation workshop and higher level workshop?
In short, the answer is yes, although we would recommend them to attend only 1 level as each session is a full 4 hours long.
4. What if i pay and cannot attend on the day?
All our sessions are recorded and we’d be happy to send you a recording of the session so that your child can review this in their own time.
