GCSE ICT tutors
6 UK tutors who teach ICT at GCSE. £30–£150/hr · median £55
ICT as a discrete qualification has largely been replaced by Computer Science at GCSE and A-level, but it still appears at KS3, in BTEC and Cambridge Nationals routes, and in adult and Functional Skills contexts. Content is more applied than CS (spreadsheets, databases, project work, digital literacy) and assessment leans on coursework and scenario tasks. Tutoring helps most with the structured project work and with the digital-literacy gap older students sometimes carry. For students mid-stream in legacy ICT specs, check the awarding body (Cambridge Nationals, BTEC, OCR) and the cohort year, as content has shifted repeatedly.
GCSEs are sat in Year 11 (age 15-16), with most students taking 8-10 subjects. They're the load-bearing UK school qualification: the 9-1 graded exams that drive sixth-form admission, apprenticeship eligibility, and (via maths and English at grade 4 or 5) university and many job prerequisites. Tutoring demand peaks here. The biggest grade gains tend to come from exam-paper technique rather than further content. Students often know more than they show. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, CIE) diverge on content and assessment, so tutor familiarity with the specific spec is meaningful in most subjects.
