Our mission

Insight from someone who was just there.

We connect university students with students who are sitting the same exams, so the insight of a recent school leaver can pass directly to the people who need it.

A textbook can explain a method. Someone who sat the same exams recently can talk you through the technique: how to set out an answer, how to execute it under time pressure and how to approach the paper itself. The focus is on what you should do to pick up the marks.

Good tuition also builds a fundamental understanding of the maths, not just the steps. Knowing why a method works is what lets a student tackle questions they have not seen before, and it develops critical thinking that carries well beyond the exam.

And it makes the next step feel real. Speaking to someone at university who was in your shoes not long ago shows you what is possible and how to get there.

Recent

They sat these exams not long ago, so what they remember is still current.

Relevant

They know how today's papers and mark schemes work, and how questions are asked.

Relatable

Close in age and in experience, and they have made the move to university, so they can show you how.

Why tutoring matters

What the research says.

The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), an independent UK education charity, reviews the evidence on what helps pupils learn. Three of its findings:

+5 months

One-to-one tuition

On average, pupils who receive one-to-one tuition make about five additional months' progress. It works best when it is linked to what pupils are learning in class.

+4 months

Small-group tuition

Small groups add about four additional months' progress on average, and the smaller the group the better. The EEF finds effectiveness drops once groups pass six or seven pupils.

+6 months

Learning from an older peer

When an older learner takes the tutoring role, pupils gain about six additional months' progress on average, and the EEF finds a positive effect for tutors as well as tutees.

These are averages across many studies. Results vary between pupils and settings, and the figures describe progress in the research, not a guarantee for any one student.

Maths, for now

GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level Maths.

Our focus is maths. Lessons are online through Google Meet, one to one or in small groups, with handwritten working throughout.

GCSE Maths

About

Founded by George Adderley.

Bridge Up was started by George, a Finance, Accounting and Management student at the University of Nottingham who tutors GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level maths online.

The idea is simple: students learn best from someone who recently sat the same exams, and who understands both the technical skill and the confidence needed to do well in them.
