Hi, I’m Archie.

Archie Dyer, founder of Cognivia Tutoring

I was never top of my class in primary school, but before my IGCSEs I decided to really give it a go.

I went on to achieve 10 A*s at IGCSE and 43 points in the IB, with 7s in HL Maths, Physics and Economics. I’m now in my second year of Theoretical Physics at UCL, after a First in my first year.

I believe learning should be fun, motivating and affordable. My lessons are relaxed, clear and built around each student, because progress looks different for everyone.

Approach

Learning should be fun, motivating and affordable.

Archie Dyer, founder

Clear, calm and built around you.

Find the real gap

Marks are usually lost two or three topics before the one that looks wrong. The first lesson finds that missing idea.

Rebuild, then practise

The idea is explained step by step, then tried on exam-style questions from your own exam board or course.

Keep parents in the loop

After every lesson, a short note on what was covered and what to practise next, in a relaxed lesson where no question is too obvious.
