About Exam Star Learner 

  Exam Star Learner is an educational charity. We are on a mission to address the lack of access to personalised learning support for underprivileged youth. We aim to deliver personalised and affordable tutorials in Maths, English, Science, and French to underachieving and disadvantaged children and young people. We are dedicated to narrowing the attainment gap, boosting confidence, and raising aspirations of 5-18year-olds. We believe that no child should be left behind in the Southwark community due to financial constraints.  

Education is unfair 

A growing number of parents and guardians are paying for children as young as four to receive additional tuition. Research show that unlike their well-off peers, many children from lower income families are unable to afford the cost of private tuition which averages £25 per hour in London. This exacerbates education inequalities and contributes to widening the attainment gap.

Exam Star Learner Levelling the Playing Field 

Unlike other tuition organisations, Exam Star Learner’s private tuition is genuinely affordable and personalised. Compassion, equality, and independence are among our core values.

We want to inspire our students and help them gain confidence and self-esteem so that they can maximise their potential and achieve greater success in school and in the workplace. We pair children and young people with tutors, and they learn in weekly personalised online tutorials which cater to their specific learning needs. We are currently in partnership with Southwark Council and the DofE.

This shared role is designed to devise and execute an all-encompassing marketing strategy to engage parents and schools via various channels.
