OUR MISSION
A family’s budget should not limit a child’s potential.
Our mission is to make high-quality educational support accessible to everyone—not just those who can afford a private tutor for every subject.
When your child needs help, you want to give them the best support you can. But private tutoring can be expensive, particularly when they need support across several subjects. Separate weekly lessons in Maths, English and Science can quickly add up to hundreds of pounds a month.
For many families, that means difficult choices about which subjects to prioritise—or whether extra support is affordable at all.
Nova offers a different approach. By bringing students together in live online masterclasses, we share the cost of subject-specialist teaching across the group. This helps us make regular support across several subjects more affordable than arranging separate one-to-one tutors.
We want more young people to have the support they need to understand difficult topics and approach their exams with confidence, with less financial pressure on their families.

NEW FOR 2026
Theory and exam-practice sessions
Each subject now combines two kinds of live online group session: one to learn the topic, and one to practise applying it in the exam.
Theory sessions
Help your child build confidence and realise their full potential through clear explanations and step-by-step worked examples. Our live sessions make difficult topics easier to understand—not simply memorise.
Core concepts explainedWorked examplesQuestions answered live
Exam-practice sessions
Turn knowledge into marks with dedicated practice in exam technique and timing. Several of our tutors bring exam-board marking experience, helping students understand how to approach questions and where marks are awarded.

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.

NFER research suggests sustained tutoring of more than 20 hours per pupil is likely to have the greatest impact.
