Why choose TLC LIVE Online School for online GCSE courses?

TLC LIVE’s online GCSE courses (KS4) are designed with flexibility, engagement, and academic success in mind. The programme offers the following:

Small classes

With a maximum ratio of 9:1, students benefit from focused, personalised teacher support. Smaller groups also create a collaborative and engaging classroom atmosphere.

Tailored lesson plans

Lessons are designed to suit the different learning abilities of students, ensuring everyone progresses at a comfortable pace.

No-camera policy

Students are not required to use cameras during lessons (except for registration), creating a stress-free, distraction-free environment that boosts confidence and focus.

Innovative technology

Lessons incorporate tools such as digital whiteboards, quizzes, polls, and videos to make learning interactive, enjoyable, and effective.

Dedicated PSHE lessons

Weekly classes ensure a balanced approach to education by nurturing personal growth, emotional well-being, and essential life skills.

Exam preparation and support

We ensure that every student in our KS4 programme is fully prepared for their GCSE exams and confident in their abilities. The programme aligns with UK exam boards such as AQA and Edexcel to equip them with the required knowledge and skills.

For students not affiliated with traditional schools, TLC LIVE guides families in registering them as private candidates at local exam centres approved by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). All subjects include constructive assessments and, where required, personalised revision plans to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement.

Students are further encouraged to develop independent learning habits through access to lesson resources and customised revision materials outside of live classes.

Student support and wellbeing

TLC LIVE equally prioritises its students’ wellbeing and academic performance, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) or anxiety. We ensure this through Individualised Learning Plans (ILPs) tailored to each student’s unique needs. All our teachers are trained in SEND practices and receive additional training if individual student needs require it. In addition, regular one-to-one mentoring sessions also help monitor student progress and provide emotional and educational guidance.

TLC LIVE’s SENDCO works closely with parents and carers to set and achieve realistic learning goals. A distinguishing aspect of our programme is “Wellbeing Wednesdays,” focusing on personal, social, and emotional growth alongside academic learning.

Study GCSEs at home with unrivalled flexibility

Families choosing TLC LIVE’s online GCSE distance learning courses benefit significantly from their affordability, flexibility, and convenience, ideal for those who travel frequently or are relocating. Online school is also a good choice for students suffering from emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA) or other forms of social anxiety.

The programme offers customised timetables to meet diverse family needs and is entirely online, allowing students to engage from any location with internet access. There’s also no homework required, as lesson resources are accessible for optional, independent learning.

100% online learning, delivered seamlessly

TLC LIVE uses advanced, intuitive technology to facilitate online learning. Our bespoke platform combines with Unicko Classroom, including interactive whiteboards, collaboration tools, and live screen-sharing to enhance the learning experience.

Students can access lesson resources independently after class, supporting revision and catch-up. All lessons are monitored, and recordings are securely stored for safeguarding but unavailable for on-demand viewing.

Please note that students need a stable internet connection on a laptop or desktop and a headset for optimal audio quality.
