UKCAT Private Tutoring
Private tuition is a flexible option. We can tailor our UKCAT course to your needs and deliver the course using one-to-one tutoring. Thus allowing you to take the UKCAT course at a time that is suitable for you!
Is Private Tuition the best study option for me?
Private Tuition is just one of the study options available to you, to help you prepare for the UKCAT.
We would normally suggest that students do one of our UKCAT classroom courses rather than private tuition. This is because students will receive the same course materials and practice tests, whichever option they choose.
We find that students often benefit from being in a classroom environment; working through problems with their peers and benefiting from questions asked by other members of the class. Please see below for a number of other reasons why a classroom course might be better for you – should you decide that you would prefer Private Tutoring however, please call us on +44(0)20 7930 3130.
Your enquiry will then be passed to our academic team, who will contact you to find out about your availability, so that we can match you with one of our tutors.
Reasons to choose Private Tutoring:
- There is a specific section(s) of the test that you would like to focus on
