Hear from students and parents
“Wow, well that is a real turnaround! From a 4 to an 8 in 2 months.”
“The lessons are very helpful and help me with harder topics and also revise other topics in a wide range of methods.”
“Freya worked with my son in a 1:1 revision morning... I cannot recommend Olympus Geography highly enough!”
“I received a 9 for geography this morning! Thank you so much for all of your support over the last year.”
“I got all 9s in my GCSEs and 91% in Geography. Thank you so much for helping with geography.”
“I just got my results today and I got an 8 in geography, I was one mark off a 9.”
What we covered on the call
- The gap
- Where your child's grade is sitting versus where they want it, and how long that gap has been there.
- What's holding the grade back
- At GCSE level it is usually command words, case study evidence, long-answer structure, or confidence. Rarely the knowledge itself.
- The next step
- For families in this position, the GCSE Geography Grade 9 Blueprint is usually the right next step. September to May.
What's included. The Olympus Method
Know It
A solid knowledge foundation across every exam board topic, including a precise, exam-ready case study bank.
Show It
Turning knowledge into answers that earn marks. Exam technique, not just content.
Score It
Timed practice under real exam conditions, examiner-standard marking, monthly feedback, run from September to the final papers.
- One live weekly class, recorded.
- Under 10 students per cohort.
- Monthly examiner-marked assessment with written feedback naming what to change next.
- Q&A support between lessons.
Is this still the right fit?
This is right if
- You left the call with a clear answer for what's been holding the grade back.
- Your child is willing to commit to the weekly class and their own work between sessions.
- You'd rather pay once for the right support than try something cheaper first.
This isn't right if
- You're still weighing this mainly on price.
- Your child isn't genuinely on board with this themselves.
- You want more time before deciding. That's completely fine, see the deposit option below.
Our Grade Guarantee
If your child attends our live sessions and completes the monthly assessments, and hasn't increased by 2 grades in the first 3 months, they'll get a free place on our next intensive booster course in the school holidays, at no extra cost, to help close the gap before their final exams.
Pricing
For context, 1-1 tuition alone typically runs around £100 an hour. Across a year that adds up to well beyond what the full Blueprint costs, and this includes examiner marking, monthly assessments and support most 1-1 tutors don't offer.
This isn't the cheapest Geography support available. Most families who reach us have already tried something cheaper.
