Online tutor Cardiff — built for WJEC, not just AQA

Most tutoring sites are built around the English boards. Cardiff schools mostly sit WJEC GCSEs and A-Levels, take the Welsh Baccalaureate, and many teach through the medium of Welsh. A tutor who only knows AQA and Edexcel is the wrong fit.

Skoolskill is set up for the Welsh system. Online AI tutor Cardiff — your tutor lives in your phone, reads your notes, knows your WJEC specification, and quizzes you for 15–20 minutes a day from your own room in Roath, Pontcanna or Whitchurch.

Which Cardiff schools does it work for?

All of them. A few examples:

  • Welsh-medium schools: Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Edern
  • English-medium comprehensives: Whitchurch High School, Cardiff High School, Llanishen High, Fitzalan High, Radyr Comprehensive, Cantonian High
  • Faith schools: Bishop of Llandaff CIW High School, St Teilo’s, Corpus Christi
  • Independent schools: Cardiff Sixth Form College, Howell’s School, The Cathedral School

The AI tutor doesn’t care which school you’re at — it reads your actual notes, WJEC past papers and textbook chapters.

WJEC GCSE, A-Level and Welsh Bacc — prep that compounds

The students who hit top WJEC grades aren’t usually the smartest — they’re the ones who practised regularly from Year 10 and Year 12 onward.

Skoolskill structures this:

  • September–December: identify weak topics per subject, 15 min/day of foundational drilling
  • January–March: WJEC past paper practice, timed sections
  • April–May: full mocks, timed, WJEC format
  • Week before the exam: light review, error log, sleep

All practice uses WJEC specifications and past papers, plus support for the Welsh Baccalaureate Individual Project.

Where Skoolskill won’t replace a Cardiff tutor

Some situations still need a human:

  • Welsh-language speaking practice and oral exam pronunciation feedback
  • University and medicine interview prep — mock interviews, UCAT coaching
  • Exam anxiety coaching — a person who notices when you’ve stalled
  • Specialist support for dyslexia, dyspraxia or other learning needs

Plenty of Cardiff students combine both: a human tutor now and then for strategy, Skoolskill daily for the actual practice.

Questions people ask

Does Skoolskill follow the Welsh system and WJEC?

Yes. Cardiff schools sit WJEC GCSEs and A-Levels and the Welsh Baccalaureate (the Skills Challenge Certificate), and many teach through the medium of Welsh. Skoolskill is set up for the WJEC specifications and uses WJEC past papers, so the practice matches what you actually sit.

Is Skoolskill a physical tutoring service in Cardiff?

No — Skoolskill is an online AI tutor, not an agency with an office in the city centre or Cathays. That means no bus ride for tutoring, no agency introduction fee, and no cancellation charge. It's available at 9 PM on a Sunday before a Monday exam.

Does it work for Cardiff schools and sixth forms?

Yes, for every school across Cardiff — Welsh-medium schools like Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf and Plasmawr, English-medium comprehensives such as Whitchurch High, Cardiff High, Llanishen and Fitzalan, faith schools like Bishop of Llandaff, and independents like Cardiff Sixth Form College and Howell's. The tutor adapts to your actual specification.

Can it help with GCSE and A-Level prep?

Yes — primarily WJEC, the main board in Wales, plus AQA, Edexcel and OCR where a Cardiff school uses them. WJEC past papers sit in the practice library, sorted by topic and year. Planning counts backward from your exam date, so you get steady daily practice instead of a panicked April.

What about the Welsh Baccalaureate?

Skoolskill helps with the academic side and the Individual Project research and writing for the Skills Challenge Certificate. For the community and enterprise challenge elements, your school coordinator is the better fit, but the AI supports planning, structuring and the written components.

How does it compare to Cardiff tuition agencies?

Private tutors and agencies around Cardiff charge £25–£50/hour. Skoolskill is free to start, £6.99/month for Pro. For one hour a week that's £900–£1,800/year with a tutor versus £0–£84 with Skoolskill.

Which areas does it cover?

All of them — because it's online, it's the same whether you're in Roath, Cathays, Pontcanna, Whitchurch, Llanishen, Penarth or out towards the Vale. No travel, same access for everyone.

How do I start?

Create a free account, tell us your year (Year 5–13) and subjects, and snap a photo of your notes or a past paper. Your first tutoring session starts in under three minutes.
