What is Nova?

Live lessons and a complete revision programme, in one place

Nova is the online learning programme from STEM Tutoring. Your child joins live weekly lessons taught by subject specialists, then keeps working with the recordings, resources and practice built around those lessons — so revision has structure long before exam season.

  • Live teaching from experienced subject specialists, in small online groups.
  • A learning platform that turns each lesson into a weekly revision routine.

How Nova helps

Revision feels harder when students do not know where to start

Most families come to us with the same worries. Nova is built to answer them with routine, not pressure.

My child does not know what to revise

They struggle to stay consistent

They need more exam practice

They need support outside school

I want to know whether they are improving

They need structure before exams

Nova gives your child a clear weekly routine: live teaching, guided practice, assessment and revision tracking in one place.

Inside Nova

This is the actual programme your child logs into

Real screens from Nova — live masterclasses, recordings, Learning Sprints and exam practice, all in one place for the whole academic year.

Live interactive masterclasses

Over 40 live interactive masterclasses per subject, every year

Your child joins timetabled, teacher-led masterclasses in a small online group. Each lesson has clear objectives, lesson checks before and after, and a confidence review so learning is secured rather than simply covered.

  • Live teaching in a supportive group programme
  • Before and after lesson checks
  • Confidence rated on every objective

Lesson recordings & catch-up

Nothing is ever missed — every masterclass is recorded

Hundreds of past masterclasses sit in a searchable library, organised by subject, topic and year. Missed a lesson, or want to revisit a tricky explanation before an assessment? It is always there.

  • Searchable library of past recordings
  • Filter by subject, topic and exam year
  • Interactive catch-up with tasks built in

Learning Sprints & revision tools

Guided Learning Sprints replace aimless revision

Between masterclasses, students work through short, structured Sprints that build understanding step by step — objectives, worked evidence, practice questions and hints — so revision has a clear starting point every time.

  • Objective-by-objective progress
  • Practice questions with guided hints
  • Focus timer and revision journal

Assessments, MCQs & exam practice

Exam-style practice with a working grade you can see

Every subject has its own academic dashboard: specification, past papers, mark schemes, MCQ practice and topic-by-topic mastery. A working grade is measured live from the questions your child actually completes.

  • Target grade against a live working grade
  • Past papers and mark schemes built in
  • Weak topics identified automatically
