UCAT Preparation - Private Tutors

A private tutor is the ultimate preparation strategy to get you ready for the BMAT. With our online tutoring, you will benefit from:

Targeted Attention

With a private tutor, your progress accelerates significantly. Unlike a textbook or online course, a tutor can pinpoint your specific challenges, adapt their teaching approach to match your learning style, and pace the lessons according to your needs.

Extra Content

The UCAT is very different from standard school exams. Rather than testing academic knowledge, it assesses a range of cognitive skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making under time pressure. A tutor provides expert guidance and targeted practice to help students master the unique question styles of the UCAT.

Boosting Confidence

Many students find the UCAT daunting due to time pressure and challenging questions. A well-planned preparation strategy, including timed practice and feedback, can help students feel more confident and perform at their best.

Convenience and Flexibility

Unlike in traditional teaching set-ups, online tutoring works with your schedule. No matter how busy you are, we create a study strategy that helps you.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. My child lacks confidence—how will tutoring help?

Many students struggle with confidence, especially if they’ve had a bad experience in school or feel overwhelmed by the subject. Our tutoring approach helps students build confidence by breaking down difficult topics, reinforcing understanding, and celebrating progress.

02. My child is already working hard—why are they still struggling?

Studying isn’t just about memorising facts; your child must learn how to apply knowledge to unfamiliar contexts, especially in exams. Many students put in hours of revision but struggle with exam technique, structuring answers, or understanding mark schemes. A tutor can help identify and address these specific challenges.

03. How do I know if the tutoring is working?

We track progress through regular assessments, exam-style questions, and feedback from both the student and tutor. You’ll receive updates on improvements, areas of focus, and strategies for further progress.

04. Which exam boards do you cover?

We tutor for AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC and CIE exam boards. We also cover the International Baccalaureate (IB)

05. How do online tutoring sessions work?

We set up a learning space which is joined at the time of a session. In the learning space, students are on video call with our tutors and use an interactive whiteboard with resources. Parents and students are often surprised how easy it is!

06. How often should my child have tutoring sessions?

This depends on their current level and goals. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for consistent progress, while others may prefer more intensive lessons closer to exams. We can recommend a schedule based on your child’s needs.

07. What if my child has a busy schedule?

We offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend sessions, to fit around your child’s commitments. Tutoring is designed to be productive and efficient, so even one hour a week can make a significant difference when supported with independent study.

08. Is there a trial available?

Yes! We offer a paid trial so your child can meet the tutor and experience online tutoring before committing. We use the trial to make an assessment and demonstrate how we can help.

09. Why are Greenhill Academics tutors considered the best you can find?

We select tutors with exceptional academic backgrounds, proven experience in helping students reach their goals, and in-depth knowledge of exam board requirements.
