No cost, no obligation

Free 20-minute Science grade diagnostic

A short, structured conversation about where the marks are going and what to do about it. It is not a free lesson, and it is not a sales call.

What happens

Six things in twenty minutes

  1. You tell me where things standYear group, subject, exam board, and what is actually going wrong. Two or three minutes.
  2. We establish the gapCurrent performance against the grade you are aiming for.
  3. We narrow down what is causing itFrom what you describe — and from a recent mock or marked paper if you have one to hand — we work out whether the problem is most likely knowledge, exam technique, application, calculations, question interpretation, or a combination.
  4. We look at what has already been triedRevision that isn’t working is worth knowing about, so we don’t repeat it.
  5. You get initial directionConcrete first steps you can act on straight away — whether or not you go on to work with me.
  6. We decide whether this is a fitIf I am not the right person, I will say so. That is a better outcome for everyone than a programme that doesn’t suit.
What it is not

It is not a free tutoring lesson, and no one will be pressured into anything. If Learn & Smash is not the right fit for your child, I will say so on the call.

What you walk away with

Initial direction you can act on immediately — whether or not you go on to work with me.

Both of these began with exactly the call you are about to book. Every review is on the results page, in full and unedited.

“The past-paper work made the difference. Shakib knew exactly what the examiners were looking for in the long answers, and within a few weeks I'd stopped dropping marks on questions I genuinely understood. Came out with an A*.”

Jake · Year 13 · A-Level Chemistry

“Biology, Chemistry and Physics all clicked at different times and Shakib never once made me feel like I was behind. He was patient with every question, however small it was. I came out with 9s in all three.”
