Why SHLC exists
The problem was almost never ability.
Aadam spent five years teaching in UK secondary schools, and kept meeting the same student. They were working hard, sitting through every lesson, and still slipping behind. Nobody had stopped to work out which pieces were missing, so every new topic was being built on top of an older gap that had never been closed.
He started SHLC in 2020 to do that first part properly. Find out exactly what a child can and cannot do, build the plan around what is actually missing, then show the parent what is changing. Every tutor here works the same way, whichever subject you come to us for.
What every tutor here has to have
We keep the team small on purpose, so every tutor we take on meets all four, whichever subject your child needs.
A qualified teaching background
At least five years in their subject
Interviewed, observed and assessed
Teaches only their own subject
The method
Three steps, in this order, every time
A wrong answer on a worksheet shows that your child is stuck. It does not show why. So we start by finding out exactly what is going wrong.
1
Assess before teaching
The first session is an assessment, not a lesson. We map what your child knows and work out whether a lost mark came from the method, the arithmetic or misreading the question. Three problems, three different fixes.
2
Build the plan around the real gaps
Lessons close the specific gaps we found, in the order that makes each one easier than the last. That is usually not the order of the specification, which assumes nothing earlier is missing.
3
Track it and tell you
You get a written note on what improved, what is still being worked on and what the next sessions cover, so you always know how it is going.

The results
2 to 3
GCSE grades up, typically in three to seven months
That is the typical move across eleven grade changes and a resit pass logged since 2021, including a grade 2 to a 5 in six months and a 6 to a 9 in seven. Each one is listed with its start, finish and timeline in how our GCSE students improve, so you can judge it yourself.
Results vary with where a child starts, how much time is left and the work they put in between lessons, so we never promise a fixed grade.
He explains the question in a way that she understands and is patient with her. She has gone up two GCSE grades in a short period of time.
A lifesaver when my daughter moved to a new school. He quickly found where she needed help and her grades have soared.
First class tutor, patient and worked at my child's pace to improve his confidence and skills. Highly recommended.
