Umer: From Grade 6s to 8s, Now on Track for Medicine
GCSE Maths and Triple Science
Student Background
Umer, a Year 11 student, came to Top Grade Tuition with solid predictions — mostly 7s across GCSE Maths and Triple Sciences. Despite his natural ability, his mock results hovered around 6s and low 7s, and his dream of studying medicine felt slightly out of reach.
The Top Grade Approach
We worked with Umer to tighten his exam technique, focusing on structured revision, intensive science paper practice, and consistent feedback from subject specialists. Our tutors used targeted gap analysis and stretch materials to push him beyond the grade 7 boundary, while providing motivation and accountability through weekly goal-setting.
The Result
Umer exceeded expectations on results day, achieving Grade 8s in all core subjects — including Maths, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. He is now studying A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry, and Maths, on a clear path toward applying for Medicine.
Areeb: Against the Odds, Passed the 11+ in One Year
11+ Entrance Exam
Student Background
When Areeb joined Top Grade Tuition in September 2023, he scored significantly below average on our initial 11+ baseline test. His comprehension, Maths fluency, and reasoning skills were all behind the typical level for his age — and the odds of passing the 11+ seemed slim.
The Top Grade Approach
We created a personalised support plan for Areeb, starting with core skill-building in vocabulary, arithmetic, and logical thinking. His tutor focused on consistent weekly targets, positive reinforcement, and lots of timed paper practice to gradually build speed and accuracy. With close collaboration between tutors and his mum, Areeb's progress was monitored and adapted every step of the way.
The Result
Areeb defied expectations and successfully passed his 11+ exam. He's now preparing to start Year 7 at Burnham Grammar School this September — a huge achievement in less than a year of focused work.
Inayah: Turning It Around, Scored 9 in English Language
GCSE Success Story
Student Background
At the start of Year 11, Inayah was struggling. Her school had predicted her a Grade 5 in English Language and Maths — and she failed her mock exams in Science. With aspirations of studying Maths at A-Level, she needed a major turnaround.
The Top Grade Approach
Our tutors stepped in to rebuild Inayah's confidence, focusing on strengthening her core understanding in Maths and Science. Through weekly targeted sessions, exam paper walkthroughs, and structured revision plans, we helped her not just catch up — but get ahead.
The Result
Inayah's final GCSE results speak volumes: she jumped from predicted 5s in English and Maths to a 9 in English Language and a 6 in Maths. After failing her science mocks, she achieved 8s in both Biology and Chemistry. She is now confidently pursuing A-Level Maths.
