Course Fees

Whether you're just beginning your home education journey or looking to add structured, exam-aligned classes to an existing timetable, we aim to help. This page provides an explanation of how our courses work, what’s included and the fees involved, so you can make the best decision for your child with confidence.

To help parents and carers compare the different routes, we use topics as a common unit of measurement. We do it this way, as different courses have different levels of contact time, i.e., some lessons are an hour and some an hour and a half; some courses have one lesson a week and others have two, and other courses are completed independently.

A ‘topic’ includes:

• Directed Learning. This is either a live, interactive lesson or, for self-paced routes, a set of learning activities designed to be completed within an hour.

• Guided Independent Learning. This might be a recorded short lecture, academic reading, watching a video, taking notes or planning.

• An Independent Learning Assignment (ILA). This assignment serves as a vehicle for students to apply the knowledge they have acquired and for teachers to check understanding. ILA tasks are designed to be of an appropriate length for the age group.

• Additional Resources. We provide accompanying notes, videos, activities, games and quizzes to provide support, challenge and growth.

Whichever route you choose, the fee quoted is all you will pay. There are no additional charges for coursework tutorials, mock papers or marking. Fees cover absolutely everything. This means no nasty surprises, just everything students need to succeed.

With Nexus Educate courses, you’re not just gaining access to a series of webinars; you’re receiving the best possible teaching, exam preparation, feedback and guidance throughout your programme of study.

All courses include the features listed below:

💻 Student Dashboard

Students access all necessary information through the learning 'dashboard'. This has direct links to calendars, meetings and assignments to ensure they never miss important dates or activities. The platform also includes links to relevant materials, videos and resources.

🗄️ Online Resource Library

A comprehensive bank of resources is available for students, including detailed notes, flashcards, videos, games and quizzes. These resources help students to explore topics at their own pace and reinforce their understanding and are designed to be accessible by students of all abilities.

💎 Support and Challenge

Extension tasks and 'aiming high' activities are included as standard. These aim to inspire and challenge all learners. Students also benefit from essay plans, scaffolds, sentence starters, model answers and spaced repetition flashcards to enhance their writing skills and knowledge retention.

🧭 Progress Tracking

Our teachers and examiners offer regular feedback, both individually and for the class, on specific concepts and assignments. Termly progress reports are sent to parents/carers, detailing individual student progress and highlighting areas for growth.

👩🏻‍🏫 Active Engagement

Our live, interactive ‘cameras on’ lessons allow teachers to identify students who may require additional assistance. This ensures that every student receives the attention they need, fostering engagement and support, even for those who may initially feel hesitant.

✅ Task Management

Students have access to a range of tools and applications to support them in their learning journey. All apps, games, and additional platforms are linked to their registered email, ensuring easy connectivity and the ability to track their progress.

🧐 Intensive Exam Prep

We schedule additional revision sessions for all classes in April, following the release of the final exam timetables. We revise key areas for specific exam papers and questions and deliver workshops focused on answer structures, time management and exam preparation.

🔩 Extra Help

We offer one-to-one sessions for students who may need extra help with specific subjects or concepts. This can be arranged on a flexible schedule to accommodate individual needs. We do our best to accommodate every student who requests this.

📝 Personalised Feedback

We mark Independent Learning Assignments thoroughly and in detail, providing individual, personal feedback. We highlight students' strengths and areas for development. We celebrate effort and attainment and offer clear targets to help students reach their full potential.
