One-to-one tuition for students aiming for their highest grades
You already know the basics. Now let's get you the top grades.
I offer 50-minute, one-to-one online sessions in Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics designed specifically around the weaknesses that are preventing you from achieving your potential.
Whether the problem is subject knowledge, critical thinking, AO2 evaluation, essay writing or exam technique, we'll identify it and work on it.
Expert knowledge. Expert teaching.
I'm Gideon Burrows, a qualified Religious Education teacher and specialist tutor.
I have a BA and MA in Theology & Philosophy from Oxford, alongside a PGCE in Religious Education with Distinction and QTS.
I've taught GCSE and A-Level Religious Studies and understand both sides of the equation:
What you need to know — and how you need to demonstrate it in an exam.
I'll help you move beyond simply knowing what philosophers and scholars say to analysing their arguments, evaluating them critically and constructing sophisticated answers of your own.
What we'll work on
Every session is tailored to you. Depending on what you need, we might focus on:
📚 Subject Knowledge
Mastering difficult topics, thinkers and arguments.
🧠 Critical Thinking & AO2
Learning how to analyse, challenge and evaluate arguments at the highest level.
✍️ Essay Writing
Building clear, sophisticated and well-supported arguments.
🎯 Exam Technique
Understanding what examiners want and how to turn your knowledge into marks.
🚀 A/A* Skills
Developing the precision, depth and independence that distinguish the very best answers.
The aim isn't simply to cover more content. It's to make you better at Religious Studies and Philosophy.

ABOUT ME
Hey, I'm Gideon
I became passionate about Religious Studies at A-level. My teachers were so energetic and empowering that I threw myself into the subject, achieved high grades, and went to the University of Oxford to study Theology and Philosophy.
That passion has never left me.
After a rich career as a journalist, author of 14 books, and two decades training professionals in communication, I returned to education as a mature student. I completed my PGCE with distinction at the University of East London and now teach RE across all secondary key stages in London.
I know from working in schools that too many bright, curious students are let down by chaotic classrooms, non-specialist teachers, and a system that treats Religious Studies and Philosophy as low-priority subjects.
That's why I tutor — to give you the depth, expertise, and individual attention your school can't.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based pedagogy — cognitive load theory, scaffolding, dual coding, and deep questioning. I don't just prepare you for exams. I help you become a genuinely better thinker, which means better grades come naturally.
Not ready to book?
I understand you and your parents may not be sure this course is right for you.
I offer a money back guarantee after a month, you want to leave the masterclass.
But if you're still not sure, take a £25 consultation with me, so we can explore your weaknesses, needs, and whether my Year 12 Excellence Programme is a good fit.
If you decide to proceed - and if I'm sure you'll gain from joining - you'll get that consultation fee taken off the monthly or annual cost of the course.
