GCSE Maths 📐
"Master the Method, Calculate Your Trajectory, and Boost Your Grades"
Confidence is key in Maths. We find exactly where your topic gaps are. Whether it is Algebra, Geometry, Probability, Ratio, Statistics, or somewhere else entirely, and help you work through them.
Foundation Tier: We focus on the essential topics to help you progress towards a strong pass, all whilst building real confidence and understanding. Only then do we turn to past papers to reinforce that knowledge.
Higher Tier: We develop the advanced problem-solving skills required for Grades 7, 8, and 9, covering everything from Quadratics and Simultaneous Equations to Circle Theorems and Vectors.
Exam Technique: We teach you how to show your working clearly, pick up method marks, and avoid the common mistakes that cost students grades on the day.
Exam Boards: We have in-depth knowledge of Edexcel, AQA, and OCR exam papers and mark schemes, so your preparation is always exam-specific.
GCSE Physics ⚡
Master the Wonders of the Universe and Accelerate Your Exam Success.
Physics is not just about memorising equations. It is about understanding what they mean and knowing when to apply them. We build that deeper understanding so that whatever the exam throws at you, you have the tools to tackle it.
The Required Practicals: We explain all the experiments you need to know for the written exams, so you are fully prepared for data, method, and evaluation questions.
Equation Mastery: We teach you how to rearrange and apply formulas with confidence, so the mathematical side of Physics never costs you marks.
Topic Focus: We cover Energy, Electricity, Particle Model, Radioactivity, Forces and Motion, Atomic Structure, Waves, and Space in depth.
Foundation Tier: We solidify core concepts and ensure you can recall and apply the key equations confidently, helping you progress toward a strong pass.
Higher Tier: We cover the topics that set top grades apart, like Electromagnetism and Momentum. We train you to master multi-step calculations and the tricky 6-mark extended writing questions that require precise Physics language.
Exam Boards: We have in-depth knowledge of Edexcel, AQA, and OCR exam papers and mark schemes, so your preparation is always exam-specific.
GCSE Biology 🔬
Adapt, Understand, Excel — Biology Driving for Top Grades.
Biology rewards students who truly understand the bigger picture, not just those who can memorise facts. We help you connect ideas across topics so that unfamiliar settings put forward in exam questions don’t catch you off guard.
Core Concepts: We cover all the major topics in depth — Cell Biology, Organisation, Infection and Response, Bioenergetics, Homeostasis, Inheritance, Ecology, and Evolution.
The Required Practicals: We explain all the experiments you need to know for the written exams, so you are fully prepared for data, method, and evaluation questions.
Foundation Tier: We build confidence in the core content — ensuring you can recall key processes, interpret data, and apply biological ideas clearly in your answers to progress toward a strong pass.
Higher Tier: We dive into the toughest topics like Hormonal Coordination, Genetic Engineering, and Natural Selection, as well as 6-mark extended writing questions. Teaching you the structured technique and the precise biological language needed for Grades 7, 8, and 9.
Exam Boards: We have in-depth knowledge of Edexcel, AQA, and OCR exam papers and mark schemes, so your preparation is always exam-specific.
GCSE Chemistry 🧪
Let us be the catalyst to launch your results.
Chemistry can feel overwhelming, the topics seem disconnected at first — but once the underlying patterns click, everything becomes clear. We make those connections for you.
Core Topics: We cover Atomic Structure, the Periodic Table, Bonding, Quantitative Chemistry, Chemical Changes, Energy Changes, Rates of Reaction, Organic Chemistry, and more.
Maths in Chemistry: From calculating moles to working with concentration and yield, we make sure the mathematical side of Chemistry never costs you marks.
The Required Practicals: We explain all the experiments you need to know for the written exams, so you are fully prepared for data, method, and evaluation questions.
Foundation Tier: We focus on building a solid understanding of the core chemistry — key atomic principles, the Periodic Table, balancing chemical equations and the essential calculations — so you can approach the exam with clarity and confidence.
Higher Tier: We go deep into topics like Electrolysis, Transition Metals, and Dynamic Equilibrium — the content that defines the difference in accessing Grades 7, 8, and 9. We also develop your technique for the 6-mark extended writing questions, ensuring you use the precise chemical language examiners are looking for.
Exam Boards: We have in-depth knowledge of Edexcel, AQA, and OCR exam papers and mark schemes, so your preparation is always exam-specific.
THE PROPULSION DIFFERENCE
Why Students Choose Us
Mock Exam Debriefs: We see your mocks in Years 10 and 11 as key milestones. We analyse your papers to find out exactly where you lost marks.
Exam Technique: Many students lose marks not because they do not know the topic, but because their answers do not match what examiners want. We help you fix this.

Greg has been absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old son. He went from dreading learning to actually looking forward to sessions, which has been a huge shift for us. Greg is highly empathetic and quickly understood Harry's SEN profile, identifying areas of weakness and adapting his teaching style and pace to suit him perfectly. The one-to-one approach worked incredibly well for my son's anxiety, and as a result we've seen clear academic progress alongside a big boost in confidence. He has also built a strong relationship with Greg in a short space of time and genuinely sees him as a trusted adult, which has made all the difference. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for a tutor who truly understands and supports the individual child.

Greg has been absolutely fantastic with my daughter. She was very nervous about starting Maths, Further Maths and Physics at A Level and needed a confidence boost. Greg was happy to alternate between these subjects. He looked into the examination boards that she is using to ensure that he covered the correct topics. He listened to what she wanted to cover and was always exceptionally well prepared for each lesson. My daughter always came out of the lessons happy and relaxed and felt that she had progressed well in her learning. I cannot recommend Greg highly enough. He has a fantastic relaxed attitude, very friendly and highly professional. Thank yo
