GROUP COURSES

Online Group Courses

A fixed syllabus taught to a small cohort. Cheaper per hour than one-to-one, and better for students who work well to a timetable somebody else sets. Where a cohort has dates, they are below.

AP cohorts open now

26 AP subjects have a cohort you can still join, each with a published calendar. Teaching runs from the start date to February; the weeks between then and the May exam are revision and full mocks, which is why the course end is months after the last new topic.

Classes are capped at 6 students; a cohort takes 24 in total and is split by level into those classes. Lessons are 90 minutes and are scheduled in UAE time — ask for the weekly slot of a specific cohort before you book, because it is set per intake.

TR-YÖS 2027 programme

One cohort, 54 live lessons and 81 taught hours across roughly four and a half months, with 12 full mock exams. Mathematics, geometry and numerical reasoning run in parallel throughout rather than as separate blocks.

Lessons are taught in Turkish, English, Persian. Arabic is not among them for this cohort, so if you need Arabic-language teaching, one-to-one is the route — tell us at the consultation.

Cohorts without a published date

These exams have a group course you can buy into, but the intake calendar is set per cohort and is not published on this page. We will not print a date we cannot stand behind, so ask and we will tell you when the next one opens and what its weekly slot is.

Bring your own group

Three or more students who come together can have a group opened for them, on any exam — including the ones with no open cohort. It is priced at the same rate as the published group course rather than as a bespoke quote.

Useful where a school year group, a set of siblings or a few friends are sitting the same exam. Tell us who is in the group and which exam, and we will confirm the schedule and the price in writing.

When a group course is the better choice

Private tutoring is the right answer when a student has a specific, identified weakness and the plan needs to follow them. A group course is the right answer when a student needs to cover a whole syllabus from a standing start, and would benefit from a timetable somebody else sets.

That second case is more common than parents expect. A capable student who keeps postponing their own study plan often does far better with a fixed Tuesday evening and a cohort moving at the same pace than with a private tutor whose schedule flexes around them.

What a course includes

  • A syllabus you see first

    What is covered, and in roughly which part of the course, before you enrol rather than session by session.

  • A fixed weekly slot

    Set per cohort and scheduled in UAE time. The whole cohort moves together, so the timetable is the commitment.

  • Course materials

    Provided as part of the course, not bought separately.

  • Homework and review

    Set between sessions and gone over at the start of the next one.

  • A small cohort

    Small enough that a student can ask a question, which is the whole difference between a course and a video.

  • Instalment options

    Available on the longer courses, confirmed with your quote before enrolment.

A cohort starts when the cohort starts

Unlike private tutoring, a group course begins when its cohort begins, and you cannot join a syllabus half way through without missing the first half of it. The AP and TR-YÖS calendars are published below with real dates; for the other exams the intake calendar is set per cohort and we will tell you the next one when you ask. If nothing suits your timeline, private tutoring starts whenever you do.
