Programme format

Small-group teaching, with a careful joining route where needed.

Standard pathway: live small-group lessons with up to four students, matched by level, confidence, ambition, and regular test performance.

Diagnostic Bridge: when a student joins part-way through the year or needs closer assessment before placement, we may begin with a short one-to-one Diagnostic Bridge.

One-to-one tuition: a separate service at £50/hr, subject to suitability and availability.

Where a student takes more than one subject, the combined arrangement and any ongoing teaching terms are confirmed during consultation.

KS2

Key Stage 2: Years 5–6

Years 5 and 6 are the foundation years for students who need stronger Maths fluency, reasoning, SATs readiness, and confidence before secondary school.

Our KS2 pathway is Maths-first. Year 6 students may add focused SATs English support where appropriate, but the main pathway remains built around stronger Maths foundations.

Who this stage is for

Students in Years 5–6 who need to strengthen core Maths, build reasoning skills, SATs preparation, and confidence before moving into secondary-level work.

Pathways available

  • Maths Foundations: 1 session per week
  • Maths + SATs English support: 2-session pathway where appropriate

KS3

Key Stage 3: Years 7–8

Years 7 and 8 are the foundation years for students who want to move confidently into GCSE Maths and Science later.

For students aiming towards strong GCSE Science or STEM subjects, we use these years to strengthen core Maths, Physics and Chemistry understanding before Year 9. This helps students begin GCSE-style Science with better confidence, rather than spending Year 9 repairing weak foundations.

Who this stage is for

Students in Years 7–8 who need stronger foundations, steadier confidence, or a more ambitious route towards GCSE work.

Pathways available

  • Maths Foundations: 1 session per week
  • Maths + UKMT Stretch: 2 Maths sessions during UKMT preparation
  • Maths + Science Balance: Maths plus one Science
  • Full Core Foundations: Maths, Physics and Chemistry

Some students focus more heavily on Maths before UKMT season, then move into a more balanced Maths and Science pathway afterwards. We do not usually recommend more than three academic sessions per week at this stage.

GCSE Prep

Years 9–10 GCSE preparation

Years 9 and 10 are where students build the topic coverage needed for serious GCSE performance.

GCSE questions often connect two or three topics in one problem. If students move into past papers too early, they can become confused and lose confidence. Our Years 9–10 pathway builds the Maths, Physics and Chemistry foundations first, with regular testing and an 80% mastery target.

The aim is for students to enter Year 11 with enough coverage to make exam rehearsal useful, not overwhelming.

Year 9 Maths new-parent entry

Starter is four complete 60-minute online small-group lessons for £100 (£25/hr).

After four attended teaching lessons, we review suitability and agree the next step explicitly. There is no automatic renewal or move to monthly payments.

Who this stage is for

Students in Years 9–10 who need secure GCSE foundations before exam-year pressure begins.

Pathways available

  • Maths
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • 2-subject pathway
  • GCSE Full Core: Maths, Physics and Chemistry

Year 11

Year 11 GCSE exam year

Year 11 is where topic knowledge must turn into exam marks.

We focus on weaker topics, mixed-topic GCSE questions, past-paper method, timing, written accuracy, and mark-scheme discipline. Students need repeated exam rehearsal, but the rehearsal must be corrected properly.

We run GCSE-style mock exams around late November or December, again around February or March, and, where useful, one further mock close to the final exam period.

Who this stage is for

Students in Year 11 who need topic gaps, exam method, and final GCSE preparation handled with clear structure.

Pathways available

  • 1 subject support
  • 2-subject exam pathway
  • Full Core Exam Programme: Maths, Physics and Chemistry

A-Level Maths

Joining route

Diagnostic Bridge

Students joining part-way through the year may begin with a short Diagnostic Bridge before entering the standard programme.

This is an intensive one-to-one entry pathway, usually up to four sessions and normally no longer than four weeks. We use it to assess level, identify gaps, observe how the student learns, rebuild confidence, and recommend the right pathway.

If your child needs further one-to-one catch-up after the Diagnostic Bridge, we will discuss the plan and cost with you before adding anything extra.

Questions parents often ask

Before you choose a pathway.

These are the questions many parents ask before deciding whether Jothi is the right fit for their child.

Are the standard programmes one-to-one?

Our standard programmes are live small-group lessons with up to four students in a batch.

We use small groups because the right peer environment matters. Students often rise faster when they learn alongside carefully matched peers who are working at a similar level and aiming high.

One-to-one tuition is a separate service at £50/hr, subject to suitability and availability. It is not included in the group rates above.

The Diagnostic Bridge may be used where a student needs closer assessment before joining a group.

How do you place students into groups?

We place students based on level, confidence, ambition, and regular test performance.

We also review how students work in lessons. If a student needs a different pace, more challenge, or more support, we can adjust the group where needed.

Why not only offer one-to-one tutoring?

One-to-one tuition is a separate service at £50/hr, subject to suitability and availability. It can be useful for diagnosis or catch-up where appropriate.

For standard programmes, a carefully matched small group gives students personal teaching while also creating pace, comparison, and ambition. Students can see stronger work, raise their standards, and learn alongside peers with similar goals.

What is the Diagnostic Bridge?

The Diagnostic Bridge is a short one-to-one entry pathway for students joining part-way through the year or needing closer assessment before placement.

It helps us assess level, identify gaps, observe how the student learns, rebuild confidence, and recommend the right pathway. It usually runs for up to four sessions and normally no longer than four weeks.

How are the group tuition rates structured?

Group tuition uses a clear hourly rate for each student. The teaching is still organised through structured pathways with clear topic coverage, assessment, feedback and parent communication.

An hourly rate does not mean ad-hoc tutoring. We discuss the right route and availability before teaching begins.

What happens after the first Year 9 lessons?

After four teaching lessons, we review how your child is settling in and discuss the right next step with you.

Any ongoing hourly or monthly arrangement is discussed and agreed separately. There is no automatic monthly conversion.

Can ongoing teaching remain hourly?

Yes. Ongoing hourly participation can remain appropriate. We explain and agree the price before any change, and collect the next agreed payment before further paid teaching.

Can my child join part-way through the year?

For routes with current availability, yes, subject to a suitable group and available lesson times. We confirm the route and teaching terms before lessons begin.

Where needed, we begin with the Diagnostic Bridge so we can understand the student’s current level and recommend the right route.

Can students move between groups?

Yes. Regular testing and lesson observation help us understand whether a student is in the right group.

Where needed, we adjust the placement so the student is supported, challenged, and working at the right pace.
