British-trained teachers, hand-picked and managed by the two founders. One-to-one, at home or online.
Finding a good teacher isn't the hard part. Making sure it's the right one, and that the work is actually getting somewhere, is what we're here for.
GCSE and iGCSE for Years 9 to 11, at home or online, overseen by the founders throughout.
For Year 9, before the GCSE years begin. We close the gaps, build steadier study habits, and get the groundwork in place while there's still time.
Specialist teachers for Maths, English and the three Sciences, plus the rest of the curriculum. They know the exam boards, we keep track of the mocks, and confidence comes back where it has slipped.
Understanding how AI works, how to use it responsibly, and how to apply it effectively in academic work. A skill that will matter as much as any subject on their CV.
There are good directories in this market, and they'll find you a tutor. We manage the teacher, the relationship, and the outcome — which is a different thing entirely.
We pick one teacher for your child and tell you why, in writing. No pile of CVs to sift through yourself.
Scheduling, billing, materials, messages — we deal with all of it, so it never lands on your plate.
You'll hear from us before you have to ask — a straight answer on how your child is doing and what's next.
If a teacher isn't the right fit, we sort out a replacement quickly — and we cover the cost.
No one joins our roster until they've cleared every step.
We don't match on subject and availability alone. We build a learning profile of your child — how they focus, revise, handle difficulty and exam pressure — and apply the same evidence-based framework to every family, then pair them with the teacher whose documented strengths fit. It's a decision we can explain to you in writing.
Two founders who came through the British education system themselves — with backgrounds in medicine and law — and who care deeply about teaching done properly.
Nayyab studied medicine in the UK and practises as a family medicine doctor in Dubai. She brings the same instincts medicine demands to Hawthorne House: listening closely, knowing when something needs to change, and leading every family relationship from the first conversation onward. She makes a point of understanding each child before anything else, and gives parents one person who knows their child's programme and is always easy to reach.
Bilal has a legal background, having studied law in the UK, and has built a career at the intersection of law and emerging technology. Currently serving as AI and Legal Technology Lead at Thomson Reuters MENA, Bilal brings the same rigour and attention to detail to Hawthorne House — overseeing the teacher roster, maintaining the standards every family is promised, and making sure every family feels genuinely looked after.
We'll discuss pricing at your first consultation. It's shaped around your child's subjects, year group and the level of support, then set out plainly in a written proposal afterwards.
