Building blocks for accessible learning
At NSEMM, every child deserves a chance to learn and thrive. That’s why we’ve developed a unique approach to online lessons, catering to individual needs and fostering a love of learning.
Individualised
Teaching
We move beyond one-size-fits-all education. Pre-assessments identify your child’s unique strengths, weaknesses, and knowledge gaps.
Creating an Engaging
Environment
We keep young people engaged using online videos, interactive activities, exam questions and differentiated learning approaches.
Empowering
Young People
We cultivate a growth mindset and metacognition skills, encouraging young people to embrace challenges and track their progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it all work?
- Submit Your Interest and Get a Callback
Begin by filling out our form to let us know what subject you’re looking for in a tutor. Our tutor matching team will contact you within 48 hours (usually much faster, typically outside of the 9-5).
If you need a call at a specific time, please mention it in the additional comments section. During the callback, we’ll arrange a free introductory chat with a tutor at a time that suits you. - OAA Award Eligibility
If you’re eligible for the OAA award, our tutor matching team will identify this during the call. You may need to provide evidence to support your application, which could delay the first chat by a couple of days unless you have the documentation ready. Learn more about the OAA award here. - Schedule a Free Chat
During the callback, you can speak to a tutor about what you need in the subject and why you’re looking for tutoring. You can then book your first lesson. Be sure to set up a payment method before your first lesson, or it will be cancelled. - The Payment Process
We charge for the lesson the day before it takes place, though it may take a couple of days to process depending on your bank. Subsequent lessons are charged automatically one day before each lesson. Sometimes, payments are collected in batches every other week. You’ll receive an email notification a few days before the payment clears. - Tracking Your Progress
Tutors submit detailed lesson reports after each session. All lessons can be recorded and accessed later for review and reinforcement. You can find these recordings in the lesson hub.
What are your rates?
We prioritise making top-notch tutoring affordable for everyone. We operate on a pay-what-you-can model, with lessons starting at £15 per hour so that we’re able to keep our organisation running.
If this doesn’t fit your budget, we can subsidise these lessons to a rate that you can afford. We take payment via direct debit. Rest assured, the price you pay never affects the quality of service – all our tutors are rigorously selected and continuously supported to deliver exceptional lessons.
Who are your tutors?
Our tutors are all high-achieving current university students or recent graduates from top UK universities. They possess excellent grades (A/A*s at A-levels or equivalent) and are specialists in their subjects. Every tutor is interviewed before joining to ensure a strong fit.
Where do lessons take place?
Ditch the commute! Lessons are conducted in a secure online space with a digital whiteboard, similar to Facetime.You’ll still get personalised, one-on-one sessions tailored to your child’s needs, with added benefits:
- Schedule lessons at your convenience and location.
- Meet and choose from a variety of tutors before booking.
- Review recorded lessons after each session.
- Pay-as-you-go with no minimum number of lessons.
How do you ensure the quality of your tutors’ teaching?
We have a multi-step process:
- All tutors are high achievers with excellent grades, a passion for their subjects, and undergo a thorough interview.
- Tutors are specialists in their fields, ensuring deep subject knowledge.
- Our lessons are overseen by experienced teachers (PGCE qualified) from top UK schools. These teachers provide ongoing guidance and feedback to tutors, maintaining high teaching standards.
- We encourage students to provide feedback after each session. This allows us to monitor tutor performance and address any concerns.
Can I try before I commit?
Absolutely! Enjoy a free 15-minute meet-the-tutor session to discuss your child’s needs and ensure a good fit. We can book you in to meet multiple tutors before deciding; there’s no obligation to book after the free session.
What subjects do you offer?
We offer tutoring for a wide range of subjects across various levels:
- 13+, GCSE, A-level, IB, and University entrance help.
- This includes personal statement writing and entrance exam preparation.
- Unsure if we cover your specific need? Don’t hesitate to contact us!
Do you offer any free services?
We offer a complimentary 15-minute session for students to meet with potential tutors and discuss their needs. This ensures a good fit before any commitment is made. Our Opportunities Advancement offers tutoring at a reduced rate (£7.50) or even free of charge for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Do you have location restrictions?
Unfortunately so. We are currently focused on providing high-quality tutoring for GCSE, A-Level, and IB qualifications specific to the educational systems in England and Wales. This allows us to ensure our tutors are familiar with the curriculum and can deliver the most effective support.
We are always looking for ways to expand our reach. If you are interested in our services and live outside of England and Wales, please feel free to contact us. We can add you to our waitlist and keep you updated on any future developments in your region.
How do donations to your charity benefit tutoring?
Donations are vital in allowing us to fulfill our mission of providing high-quality tutoring to all students. Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:
- Donations directly support our Opportunities Advancement Programme, offering free or low-cost tutoring to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
- Donations help us recruit and train more tutors in high-demand subjects, ensuring a wider range of expertise is available to students.
- Your contribution allows us to invest in ongoing tutor training, safeguarding and educational resources overseen by experienced teachers, guaranteeing exceptional tutoring experiences.
Do tutors get paid?
This depends. We are fortunate to have both volunteer and paid tutors on our platform. The quality of their teaching is equally high, as all tutors undergo a rigorous selection process and receive ongoing support. This ensures they possess the necessary subject expertise, strong communication skills, and a passion for helping students succeed.
