What It Is

What Group Tutoring Options Does NLG Offer?

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.

Quick answer: choose Specialist Groups if you want a smaller group of up to 8 students and more tutor interaction. Choose Live GCSE Groups if you want affordable live GCSE Maths or English teaching in a larger group format.
