From KS3 to GCSE
JPW tutors provide live, engaging online classes and individual 1-2-1 feedback to help students realise their true potential and achieve amazing exam grades.
About the JPW Method
With a combination of…
Highly interactive classes between the tutor and students
1-2-1 video feedback on work
Our purpose-build learning portals
We were able to help over 400 students achieve their dream grades, last year alone.
We find the perfect balance of giving your child a space to share and discuss ideas in a team, while giving them all the 1-2-1 support they need through our unique method of marking work via video. Our learning portals supplement this with access to extra recorded content, model answers and even lessons from the examiners themselves.
About Jacob Williams
After graduating from Oxford and teaching in a private school, Jacob Williams designed the JPW method and now oversees the entire programme as head instructor.
Alone, he has helped hundreds of students become the best version of themselves and achieve grades that set them up for sixth form, university and the rest of their careers.
After carefully studying the way students are taught in school, Jacob identified certain issues (such as the vagueness of most teacher’s feedback on their student’s work, or even a lack of personal feedback altogether) and has worked to design programmes that target these areas and make sure nothing is left to chance for every student when sitting their exams.

FAQs
How big are the groups?
The group size is not based on a fixed number. If the group is ever large, we have other tutors in the class that our team teaches as teaching assistants to help answer questions and make sure students get the help and attention they need.
Normally it might be in the region of 15 students before we do this, similar to a private school
Does English excellence programme cover Language and Literature?
The course covers both Language and Literature because the skills needed are very similar -- we teach them together
How long does the course run for?
The course runs up to your exams -- so June 2024 for Year 11s and June 2025 for year 10s. Because it is skills based, the course is based on ability not year group.
Which exam boards is the course for?
The course is suited for all main exam boards (AQA, Edexcel/Pearson, Eduqas/WJEC, OCR) because the content is 90% the same.Where the numbering or format of questions is different, we make this clear with differentiated resources.
How long is the commitment and what happens after the first 3 months?
The course is a 3 month minimum commitment because we need this long to ensure you make progress. After that, most students chose to continue until their final exams so they can practice building up their skills consistently and have the best chance of success. However, you're completely free to pause or cancel after the first 3 months if you need to!
Who teaches the lessons?
The sessions are taught by different members of Jacob's team. Jacob oversees the entire program as the Head Instructor, and different tutors do different roles including teaching the groups and providing feedback on work.
All our tutors are qualified teachers with at least 5 years tutoring experience getting amazing results for students.
So you don’t just get support from one tutor -- you have a proven method based on the three steps to Excellence that have helped over 400 students, and you have a whole team working together to continually improve and get you better results.
How do you deal with different Literature texts?
We focus on the core skills that examiners mainly look for, which are the same for each literature text, rather than just telling you to remember more quotes! However, we also have lots of resources on all the popular texts and can help ensure you have the knowledge needed for Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, An Inspector Calls, Blood Brothers, A Christmas Carol, Jekyll & Hyde, the poetry anthology collections, and many more, including all the Literature texts studied in AQA, Edexcel/Pearson (including Edexcel/Pearson iGCSE), OCR, and Eduqas/WJEC!
How do the group lessons work? Do you have to be on camera?
The lessons are on Zoom and they are interactive -- you put your ideas and questions in the chat. Students can raise their hands to unmute. You don’t have to be on camera though!
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes! The second sibling will receive 50% off their tuition package. To take advantage of the discount, just use this page to sign up for one child. After you join, our enrolment team will reach out via email and WhatsApp, so let them know you have another child wanting to join and they will help them get set up and ensure you can avail yourself of the sibling discount!
