What is the NLG Schools Programme?
The NLG Schools Programme is a structured online tutoring service for primary and secondary schools across the UK. It delivers 1:1 and small group tuition in Maths and English, taught by fully qualified and DBS checked tutors, helping schools close attainment gaps and support disadvantaged pupils.
Research by the Education Endowment Foundation shows that pupils who receive small group tuition make, on average, four months additional progress. Pupils who receive 1:1 tuition make, on average, five months additional progress. Our outcomes consistently reflect this evidence.
1:1 Tutoring
Each pupil works directly with a specialist tutor in a focused 40-minute session. Ideal for pupils who need intensive support or have additional learning needs.
Small Group Tuition
Groups of up to 8 pupils work together in structured 60-minute online sessions. Available for 11+ preparation and GCSE Maths and English. From £20 per week or save with upfront lesson blocks.
Bespoke Reporting
Schools receive individual learner progress reports, attendance tracking and regular updates from a dedicated schools liaison officer for every pupil we support.
What Our Schools Programme Achieves
We track outcomes across every school we work with. These results come from real pupils supported by NLG tutors across primary and secondary programmes.

Rated Excellent on Trustpilot. Real feedback from school staff and parents about the NLG Schools Programme.
"Three of our most at-risk Year 6 pupils achieved the expected standard in Maths who had been below it all year. The reporting was clear and the tutor worked seamlessly with our class teachers."
"We used Pupil Premium to bring NLG in for our GCSE Maths groups. Our disadvantaged cohort pass rate improved significantly compared to the previous year. The whole process was straightforward from the first call."
"My daughter has SEND and the NLG tutor understood her needs from day one and adapted every session around her. Her confidence in English has grown enormously since starting."
"Setting up the programme took less than two weeks. It felt like a genuine extension of our pastoral team, not just an outside supplier. The liaison officer handled everything from day one."
"Our son improved a grade and a half in GCSE English in six weeks. The tutor gave him strategies we could see him using in his own writing immediately after each session."
