2. Our Services
UpMyGrade provides online one-to-one tutoring for GCSE and A-Level students across the UK. Lessons are delivered remotely via Discord, our online lesson platform.
All tutors on the UpMyGrade platform hold a minimum of an A* at A-Level in the subject(s) they teach and have been interviewed and DBS checked before being accepted onto the platform.
We reserve the right to decline any booking request at our discretion.
3. Free Trial Session
We offer a free introductory trial session for new students. The following conditions apply:
-
One free trial session per student
-
The trial session is subject to tutor availability
-
We will confirm your trial date and time by email or phone following your request
-
The free trial is designed to help establish a good tutor-student fit — it does not constitute a commitment to ongoing lessons on either side
-
We reserve the right to withdraw the free trial offer at any time
4. Booking Lessons
Lessons are arranged through the UpMyGrade platform. Once a lesson is confirmed:
-
You will receive confirmation of the date, time and tutor
-
Lessons are conducted via Discord — you are responsible for ensuring your child has access to a working device, internet connection and (where required) a microphone
