About us

Up Smart Learning is a UK tutoring service built around one belief: with the right teaching, every student can achieve their target grade. We specialise exclusively in GCSE and A-Level exam preparation, so everything we do is focused on results.

Scientific teaching & learning methods

Many of our tutors are practising GCSE and A-Level examiners who know exactly what earns marks.

Genuinely personalised

Diagnostic-led plans tailored to each student's exam board and weakest topics.

David · Parent

Tyler · Student

Avinah · Parent

“Very useful, flexible and tailored lessons to exactly what I need to focus on at a given point in time. Janisha has a strong base in Maths, English and Science and can explain topics with ease in a way a student can understand, especially those grade 8/9 topics. The lessons are always really interactive and I've really benefited.”

Uzma · Parent

“Janisha is a great tutor, explains things clearly and in a way that you can understand. Always takes the time to make sure I actually get it before moving on. I've definitely improved since starting sessions.”
