C -> A in 8 Weeks

April 2025

A student and her parents came to us desperate..

My heart sank. Spring mocks came back with a C, but the offer demands an A! We tried tutor after tutor — no change.. I need someone to take charge, right away.

— mum

They decided to join The Academy.

The first sessions were heavy. Concepts felt slippery and exam timing was brutal. We began with a diagnostic to map strengths, gaps, and speed bottlenecks. Then we slowed the pace and rebuilt method by method: understanding first, execution second.

The Academy

We established close communication with the student and her parents to support progress at every step. That included:

  • offering bespoke home practice sets targeting her specific problems,
  • providing extra support between lessons when homework became challenging,
  • applying exam techniques used by top 1% students drilled into muscle memory,
  • maintaining parent communication with under 15-minute DM response time, Monday to Sunday, 8am-8pm.

These are standard CS Prime practices applied to every student, not experimental methods. And these are only a few examples of the full range of support and systems we offer.

  • Tutor example 1 – personalised markup for a student
  • Tutor example 2 – annotated code corrections
  • Tutor example 3 – exam strategy board
  • Tutor example 4 – week-by-week tracker

Here is a glimpse of day-to-day Academy lessons

The Finale

After three weeks, the results started to show: +10% on the average score. Confidence followed. Answers became structured, timing steadier, corrections rarer.

We pushed into full papers, mixed-topic rotations, and calm repeatability. By week eight, timed scripts held at 78%. June arrived. A-levels finished. The C became a strong A.

Parents had clarity. She had control. The dream university was back within reach.

Want the same for your child? Book Consult.

It takes little time, no commitment, and is free of charge — the first step towards bringing your child to their prime and learning how the Academy works. We will get a baseline, build the plan, and drive to A*.

P.S. This case shows only our well known methods (techniques include: tracing substitution, mid-code debugging, explicit data typing, ...). Our top 0.1% advantages are proprietary to CS Prime Academy and exclusive to clients. You cannot find them anywhere else.

Natalie V. — a happy mum envied by neighbours for son's results

Philipp speaks the same language as school students. My son easily understands and absorbs information thanks to Philipp’s ability to explain complex topics clearly. My son’s results have improved significantly, and his foundations are now stronger.

Vivian Yeung — parent

Vivian Y. — another happy mum, finally relieved about A-Level grades

Philipp is a very responsible, committed and skilful tutor. He taught my daughter for math. He quickly understand my daughter weaknesses and strength so as to design different techniques to suit her personally to deal with her problems in the subject. And, he tailor-made different techniques and use different types of questions to ensure her to pick up the key points and know how to tackle the questions easily. He is a very patient and always encourages the students so that they are eager to learn and can have sharp improvement in a short period of time.

In addition, he gives feedback to parents after each class so as a parent, I clearly understand the progress.
