Choose Specialist Groups for a smaller, more interactive learning environment, or Live GCSE Groups for affordable live GCSE Maths and English teaching.
NLG currently offers two distinct online group tutoring routes for GCSE students: Specialist Groups and Live GCSE Groups. Both are live and tutor-led, but they are designed for different needs. Specialist Groups keep numbers smaller for greater interaction, while Live GCSE Groups offer a larger live teaching format at a lower cost per lesson.
Group tutoring gives GCSE students a structured weekly learning routine, live teaching and the opportunity to learn alongside other students. The choice between Specialist and Live GCSE Groups lets families balance interaction, group size and cost.
Students hear questions and explanations from others in the group.
Regular sessions create routine and accountability.
Small groups help students realise they are not the only one finding topics hard.
Groups are built around GCSE Maths and GCSE English revision and support.
Students can ask questions and take part, not just watch a webinar.
Weekly sessions provide repeated opportunities to practise programme content.
The right route depends on how much interaction your child needs, the group environment they prefer and your budget. Specialist Groups provide a smaller setting, while Live GCSE Groups make live tutor-led GCSE support accessible at a lower lesson cost.
The two products are deliberately different. Specialist Groups prioritise a smaller group experience and greater interaction. Live GCSE Groups prioritise accessible live teaching at a lower lesson cost.
Choose the format that best matches the level of interaction your child needs and how you would prefer to pay.
Up to 8 students. The £16 lesson rate applies to the 10-lesson upfront option. A weekly payment option is also available at £20 per lesson.
Up to 50 students. Four live GCSE group lessons are purchased upfront, giving students structured weekly support at a lower cost per lesson.
Both are live, online and tutor-led. The key difference is the size of the group, level of interaction and price.

Read verified NLG reviewsParents need more than subject knowledge. They need a trusted provider with safe processes, clear tutor matching and a strong record of supporting students online.
NLG offers two group routes: Specialist Groups and Live GCSE Groups. Both are live and tutor-led, but they differ in group size, interaction and price.
Specialist Groups are smaller online groups of up to eight students, designed to give learners greater interaction with the tutor while following a structured GCSE Maths or English programme.
Live GCSE Groups are tutor-led online GCSE Maths and English sessions delivered to groups of up to 50 students. They provide structured live teaching at £8 per lesson, purchased in a four-lesson block.
Specialist Groups start from £16 per lesson when purchasing 10 lessons upfront. A weekly payment option is also available at £20 per lesson.
Live GCSE Groups cost £8 per lesson, with four lessons purchased upfront.
The current group tutoring routes focus on GCSE Maths and GCSE English.
Specialist Groups are the better fit where greater tutor interaction is a priority because groups are limited to up to eight students.
One-to-one tutoring may be more appropriate where a student needs an individual pace, dedicated SEND support or highly personalised lesson content.
Choose a smaller Specialist Group for greater interaction, or a Live GCSE Group for affordable structured teaching in a larger live format.
