What our students have done

On a Grade 1 in Year 10. Now doing A-Levels.

“I remember crying through the first lessons because I was so scared of failing. … Thanks to her support, I passed my maths GCSE and got into the sixth form of my choice, and now I’m doing A-Levels feeling confident.”

GCSE Maths student, now studying A-Levels

Up two grades in five weeks.

“Before I started I was on a grade 6 but in 5 weeks I went to a grade 8 and it was because of your techniques like repeating a similar questions that helped me sooo much.”

Working hard, and the grades still aren’t moving?

Parents tell us this on the first call more than anything else. It’s rarely about effort. Usually one of these is getting in the way.

  • Gaps from earlier years.

    Most students who are stuck aren’t stuck on today’s topic. They’re missing something from a year or two back. We find those gaps early and fill them, so new topics finally have something to build on.

  • Confidence and exam nerves.

    Plenty of students decide they’re “just not a maths person” and stop trying. We start where they feel comfortable, build small wins each week, and practise under exam conditions so the real thing feels familiar.

  • Motivation and accountability.

    Lots of students know they need to work but can’t get started, or can’t keep going. We build the habits with them and check in every week, so the effort turns into progress.

Three steps, and you only commit after the second.

  1. Day 1

    Free consultation Free, no obligation

    Meet your tutor.

    A relaxed video call with the student and a parent. We find out where the student is stuck, agree a target grade and the gaps in the way, and tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.

    • Get to know the tutor
    • Agree a target grade
    • No obligation
  2. Week 1

    Trial lesson One hour, paid

    Try a real lesson.

    If it looks like a good match, we pair the student with the right tutor for a one-hour lesson on a topic they find hard. It’s a paid lesson, so it’s the real thing, and both sides can see whether it works before committing to more.

    • Matched to the right tutor
    • A real topic from their syllabus
    • Decide afterwards

  3. Days 1-90

    Your 90-day plan Two lessons a week

    Follow a plan built for you.

    We map out the next 90 days around the student’s exam board, exam dates and weakest topics, then work through it in two 1-to-1 lessons a week. After every lesson, parents get a written update on what was covered and what comes next, on their own parent login.

    • Two 1-to-1 lessons a week
    • Lesson updates on your own parent login
    • Homework and feedback every week

    The plan has a 90-day minimum. Grades move when habits change, and habits take a term to stick.

Why I started Class Hero.

I started Class Hero at 17, during the pandemic, with one mission: to help students in Wembley, where I grew up, keep their grades on track when school was disrupted.

For me, education was a way out. My parents were factory workers who never had the chance to finish secondary school, and life at home was hard. After we lost my mum, things became even harder. My dad struggled with depression, and my sister and I drifted apart.

School became my safe place. I was lucky to attend one of the best state schools in the country, where I sat my first GCSE in Year 8, went on to achieve 10 A and A* grades, took part in the UKMT Maths Challenge, and gave a LAMDA public speaking piece on homelessness.

Since then, I’ve spent over six years tutoring in tuition centres and privately, gained eight months’ experience in schools, and studied the theory and pedagogy of teaching at the University of Warwick. I’ve seen first-hand what works, and Class Hero exists to give every student the kind of support my family couldn’t afford when I was growing up.

  • Over six years of tutoring
  • 112 students taught, and 95% reached their target grade
  • 10 A and A* grades at GCSE
  • Specialist subject: Economics

What students and parents say.

“He went from being underachieving to above average in a year. He has become a lot more confident in maths.”

Jennifer, parent of a Maths student

“She teaches them with their weakness in mind and help them to understand what to do. … I have noticed a leap in their grades in school and they are well on their way to exceed them.”

Nelson, parent of two daughters in Year 11 and Year 8

“I used to think I could never do it, however you’ve helped me through rigorous amounts of questions on certain topics which definitely made a difference to at least try and get some method marks.”

GCSE Maths student, after sitting the Higher tier paper

“Regular feedback provided to us regarding our son’s performance. Surprised how she manages to hold our son’s concentration for so long.”

Questions parents ask.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the student’s current grades and what they need, so we go through it on the free consultation. There’s no charge for that call.

Why a 90-day minimum?

Ninety days is the time it takes for real results to show. It’s long enough to learn the technique, practise it on exam questions and see it in the marks.

Are lessons online?

Yes. Every lesson is live and 1-to-1 on our online learning platform, so students can learn from anywhere.

Do you give progress reports or updates after sessions?

Yes. Everything is on our platform, where you’ll have your own login.

Which subjects do you teach?

Maths, English, Science and Economics, across all exam boards. Economics is Bhavisha’s specialist subject, and we match every student to a tutor who knows their subject and board.

Who will actually be teaching my child, and what are their qualifications?

Bhavisha, or a tutor she has trained personally in the Class Hero method. We make the match in step 2, the trial lesson.

Do you have experience with SEN students (ADHD, dyslexia, autism)?

Yes. Our tutors have experience with SEND students, and we use research-backed methods.

Will my child definitely reach their target grade?

No honest tutor can tell you that. What we can do is build the plan, teach the technique and keep the student accountable. So far, 95% of our 112 students have reached their target grade.

A short video call, with no obligation. We agree the target grade together, and if we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you.
