Our tutors are all university students who remember what it’s like to study for GCSEs, A-levels and university admissions. This means they can relate to students, build confidence and tailor their teaching to each individual’s learning style.

Lessons are designed around each student’s goals, whether that’s strengthening subject knowledge, reviewing homework, improving study skills, preparing for exams or getting ahead in class.

Tutors monitor progress throughout and provide lesson notes after every session, including:

• A summary of what was covered
• What the student did well
• Areas for improvement and next steps

They also regularly use past exam questions to reinforce learning, provide feedback and help students measure their progress over time.

All lessons take place online via video call, usually using Google Meet. Students join through a private link shared by their tutor.

Tutors often use OneNote to create a digital notebook where lesson notes, homework, revision resources and practice questions are stored. This gives students ongoing access to everything covered during their tutoring sessions.

York Medic Tutors was founded by Amal and Ken, who are also experienced tutors themselves.

Our wider tutoring team consists of university students studying a range of STEM subjects. Every tutor is selected for their academic ability, communication skills and enthusiasm for teaching.

Each tutor has their own teaching style, and we carefully match students with someone who best suits their academic goals and personality.

Visit our Our Tutors page to learn more about the team.

Lessons are arranged directly between students and their tutor. We generally recommend one hour per week at a regular time, although lesson frequency can be adapted to suit your schedule.

Students are welcome to pause tutoring, rearrange sessions where needed, or book additional lessons during revision and exam periods. As our tutors are also university students, availability may vary during university exam seasons. If you know you’ll need extra flexibility, let us know and we’ll match you with a tutor whose availability fits your requirements.

Please visit ‘Our Tutors’ page to get to know them all. 

Although York Medic Tutors operates independently from schools, our tutors aim to complement classroom learning. They can tailor lessons around a student’s exam board, syllabus, revision timetable, mock exams and school assessments.

Parents can monitor progress through shared lesson notes, which include summaries, strengths, areas for development and recommended next steps. Parents are also welcome to contact tutors directly to discuss their child’s progress, and Amal and Ken are always available to answer any questions.

Tutors keep a record of each lesson, and York Medic Tutors sends an invoice detailing the lessons completed, topics covered and the total amount due. Payments are due within seven days of the invoice date.

If you need to cancel a lesson, we ask that you give as much notice as possible. Lessons cancelled at least 24 hours in advance can be rearranged without charge. We also understand that unexpected circumstances, such as illness, can arise and will always try to be as accommodating as possible.

Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for full details of our payment and cancellation policies.

Absolutely. Students and parents are encouraged to stay in touch with tutors via email, text or WhatsApp.

Students are welcome to ask questions about homework or topics they’ve found challenging, while parents can contact tutors regarding progress or upcoming lessons.
