A-Level tutoring
The step up from GCSE catches out students who never had to work at GCSE. Content arrives faster, questions stop telling you which method to use, and the marks go to the reasoning rather than the answer.
One to one online lessons in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science and Religious Studies, taught to your specification by tutors who teach at this level. £30 a lesson, and the first 30 minutes are free.
No card details for the trial. Change tutor at any time, at no cost.
We do not teach every A-Level. The list above is what we can actually staff, which is a shorter list than most tutoring sites publish.

Teaching UK students since 2020.
Start here
Send the subject, the exam board and the year group, and we will tell you honestly whether we have a tutor who teaches that specification. If we do not, we will say so rather than book you in and work it out later.
Subject, exam board and what is going wrong is enough to get started. We reply seven days a week, usually within minutes.
No card details are taken and there is no obligation to book lessons afterwards. See our privacy policy. Prefer to message? WhatsApp us.
A-Level students are usually the ones sending the enquiry rather than a parent, and that is fine. Tell us what you are actually stuck on and the first session will be worth something.
By stage
Year 12, Year 13 and a resit year are three different problems. Starting in September with a shaky Year 12 is not the same job as being six weeks out from a paper, and neither resembles rebuilding after a result that closed a door.
| Stage | Where lessons go | Worth enquiring when |
|---|---|---|
| Year 12 | Securing the first-year content that everything else is built on, and learning to work independently rather than waiting to be taught | The first assessments came back well below GCSE performance, or the subject stopped making sense within a term |
| Year 13 | Second-year content, the Year 12 gaps it keeps exposing, past papers and the specific way marks are awarded in that subject | Mocks show a gap between where you are and the grade an offer depends on |
| Resit or reapplying | What the result actually showed, which papers cost the marks, and a plan for a full year rather than a repeat of the last one | You missed an offer, took a Clearing place you are unsure about, or decided to apply again with achieved grades |
Still on GCSE content? Online GCSE tutoring is the better starting point, and many of the same tutors teach both.
Results and what follows
A-Level results day 2026 is Thursday 13 August. UCAS updates on the morning to show whether a place is confirmed, and Clearing choices can be added from the afternoon. Your grades come from the school or college, not from UCAS.
A-Levels are not resat in the autumn. The next full sitting is the summer 2027 exam series, so a retake is a year of work rather than a few weeks of it. That is not a reason to avoid it, but it is a reason to decide deliberately instead of on results morning.
Check the arrangements with your school, college or exam centre before entering, because entry deadlines and centre availability differ.
Worth understanding before you pay for it. A reviewer checks whether the mark scheme was applied correctly, and can only raise a mark where the original marker made an identifiable error. Marks can go down as well as up.
In summer 2025, Ofqual recorded 58,830 AS and A-Level grades challenged and 14,150 changed, which is 24.1%. Roughly one challenge in four moves a grade.
Results day, UCAS and remarksUsually the right call when the gap is one subject or one paper rather than the whole set, and when there is a specific reason the result happened. Tutoring on the papers that cost the marks is a far better use of a year than sitting through the whole course again.
Most resit students work alongside a job or a gap year, which makes a fixed weekly slot matter more than usual.
Applying in the autumn with grades already in hand removes the guesswork that predicted grades introduce. Paired with a resit, it is a legitimate route rather than a fallback, and universities treat it as one.
If you are unsure whether the grades justify a year, that is worth a conversation before you spend money on lessons.
We will tell you if we do not think a resit is the right decision. That happens, and it is better said in a free session than four months into a plan.
Why it gets harder
Because the skill being tested changes. GCSE rewards knowing the content and recognising the question type. A-Level rewards choosing an approach when nothing in the question tells you which one to use, then justifying it.
A GCSE question usually tells you what it wants. An A-Level question hands you a situation and expects you to work out which tool applies. Students who relied on pattern matching find the pattern has been removed.
Sixth form assumes independent study in a way school never did. Students who coasted at GCSE on classwork alone are suddenly responsible for consolidating content nobody will check they have consolidated.
Year 13 content assumes the first year is secure. A weak grasp of differentiation or moles resurfaces every few weeks, and by then there is no timetabled space to go back and fix it.
The Education Endowment Foundation's review of one to one tuition finds it is more likely to help when it is tied to normal lessons, aimed at identified gaps, and monitored so the plan can change. That is evidence about a method, not a promise about any individual student.
Subjects
Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science and Religious Studies with Philosophy and Ethics. Physics and English depend on who is free that term, so ask rather than assume. Everything else, we do not teach.
| Subject | Cover | Who teaches it | Where lessons usually go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maths | Yes | Imran, Asia, and Lily on request | Pure, calculus, advanced functions and statistics, with the Year 12 algebra that keeps undermining them |
| Biology | Yes | Priya, Mahin and Nadia | Precise wording, the long-answer questions, and the difference between describing and explaining |
| Chemistry | Yes | Mahnoor and Nadia | Organic mechanisms, energetics, equilibrium, quantitative work and practical endorsement theory |
| Computer Science | Yes | Sidra | Programming and system design alongside the theory paper, which pull in different directions |
| Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics | Yes | Faijah, Jonathan and Harleen | Deploying ethical theory under exam conditions rather than reciting it, and building an argument that holds |
| Physics | Ask us | Anna, subject to availability | Depends on who is free that term, so send the board and specification and we will confirm before you book |
| English | Ask us | Not currently staffed at this level | We teach English to GCSE. For A-Level, ask and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it |
What we do not teach at A-Level: Further Maths, Economics, Business, Psychology, History, Geography and Modern Languages. If you need one of those, a subject specialist elsewhere will serve you better than we would, and we would rather say that than take the booking.
Specifications
We ask before the first lesson. At A-Level the boards diverge more than they do at GCSE, particularly in the optional content, so teaching the wrong specification wastes lessons in a way that is not obvious until a paper comes back.
Most students know the board and very few know the specification code. Send the course name, the textbook, or a photo of a past paper header and we will identify it before lessons start.
For Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers, or CCEA qualifications in Northern Ireland, contact us first. Coverage depends on who is available and we would rather check than guess.
A-Level exam dates for 2027 are published as provisional until the boards finalise them. Our guide to the 2027 exam dates tracks what has been confirmed so far.
A-Level specialists
Not every tutor on the team teaches at A-Level, and we do not pretend otherwise. The six below are the ones who do, and between them they hold a PGCE with QTS, three Master's degrees, examiner experience and a working software engineering job.
Maths, to A-Level
A PGCE in Secondary Maths and a career in secondary and further education, so the route from Year 7 arithmetic to A-Level calculus is familiar ground rather than a stretch. Teaches to the specification and marks as he goes.
Best for students who want a qualified classroom teacher
Maths and Statistics, to A-Level
Has taught at secondary and undergraduate level, so A-Level Maths sits inside her range rather than at the edge of it. Strongest on the topics students give up on first: algebraic manipulation, calculus and statistics.
Best for A-Level Maths aimed at the top grades
Chemistry, GCSE and A-Level
A Master's in Inorganic Chemistry and time in scientific research, which shows in how she handles the topics that are genuinely hard rather than merely fiddly: bonding, energetics and equilibrium.
Best for A-Level Chemistry, including practical endorsement theory
Biology, to A-Level
An MTech in Biotechnology and a Master's in Education from the University of Bath, plus years of examining at higher level. Knowing how papers are marked changes what gets taught in the final term.
Best for A-Level Biology and long-answer technique
Religious Studies and Philosophy, to A-Level
A King's College London degree in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics followed by a PGCE with QTS, then nearly seven years teaching Humanities in schools and online. Writes her own revision materials and model answers.
Best for A-Level Philosophy and Ethics essays
Computer Science, to A-Level
A working software engineer as well as a teacher, so the programming half of the course is taught by somebody who writes code for a living. That matters at A-Level, where the theory paper and the practical project pull in different directions.
Best for students who pass the theory but freeze at writing code
Jonathan, who holds an MA in Theology, Nadia, who covers A-Level Biology and Chemistry, and Mahin, who teaches A-Level Biology, also work at this level. A coordinator reads your enquiry and picks one of them, with the reason.
Inside a lesson
Live on Zoom with a digital whiteboard and shared documents. You work through problems while the tutor watches, get corrected while the mistake is still fresh, and finish with one specific thing to do before the next session.
An hour of watching someone else explain things is not tutoring. At A-Level in particular, the student has to be doing the work while somebody who knows the subject watches them do it. That is the part a revision video cannot replace.
Cost
£30 for a 60-minute one to one lesson, falling to £27.50 on a three-month term plan and £25 on an annual plan. A-Level costs the same as KS3, and a tutor with a doctorate costs the same as one without.

per 60-minute lessonPublished UK averages for one to one tutoring sit at roughly £37 to £38 an hour, and A-Level is usually charged above that. We do not charge a premium for level or for qualification. No sign-up fee, no matching fee, and the 30-minute trial takes no card details.
Being straight with you
Our 34 reviews are from GCSE and Functional Skills families, and none of them is about A-Level teaching. Putting a GCSE review on this page and hoping you did not check would be easy, and it is what we found on this page before we rebuilt it.
What we can point at instead is verifiable. Six of the tutors listed above teach at A-Level, and the qualifications on their profiles are the real ones rather than a description of everyone as an expert. You can read all 39 profiles and see exactly which levels each person covers.
You can also judge the teaching yourself in 30 minutes, before any money changes hands, which is more useful than a stranger's testimonial anyway.
Common questions
Anything not answered here, message us and we will tell you straight. We usually reply within minutes.
Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Religious Studies with Philosophy and Ethics. Physics and English depend on tutor availability that term, so ask before assuming. We do not teach Further Maths, Economics, Business, Psychology, History, Geography or Modern Languages at A-Level.
AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC or Eduqas, depending on the subject. Send the specification code or the course name when you enquire and we will confirm coverage before anything is booked. For Scottish or Northern Irish qualifications, contact us first.
£30 for a 60-minute lesson, £27.50 each on a three-month term plan and £25 each on a twelve-month annual plan. The same rate as KS3 and GCSE, with no premium for the level or for a more qualified tutor, and no sign-up or matching fee.
Thursday 13 August 2026 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. UCAS updates on the morning to show whether a place is confirmed, and Clearing choices can be added from the afternoon. Your actual grades come from your school or college rather than from UCAS.
No. A-Levels are not resat in the autumn, so the next full sitting is the summer 2027 exam series and a retake means a year of work. Check entry deadlines and arrangements with your school, college or exam centre before committing.
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing the odds first. A reviewer checks whether the mark scheme was applied correctly and can only raise a mark where the original marker made an identifiable error. Ofqual recorded 58,830 AS and A-Level grades challenged in summer 2025 and 14,150 changed, which is 24.1%. Marks can go down as well as up.
No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. A tutor can explain difficult content, provide practice and feedback, find the gaps and prepare you for the paper. The result also depends on your starting point, attendance, independent work and what happens on the day.
We teach the theory that the written papers assess, including the required practical techniques, apparatus and the analysis questions built on them. The endorsement itself is assessed by your school or college and cannot be delivered online.
We can confirm a tutor's DBS status before lessons begin, and you are welcome to ask. Our safeguarding policy sets out how we work with students under 16, and all lessons are one to one on Zoom.
Recordings can be arranged on request where appropriate, subject to safeguarding, privacy and consent. Confirm it when you arrange the lessons rather than assuming it is switched on by default.
Possibly, and it usually means two different tutors. Tell us every subject and the times you can keep to, and we will check whether a workable schedule exists before you commit to anything.
Yes. Tell us the subject, the board, the intended sitting and the exam centre you are entered with, or whether you still need to find one. Entry as a private candidate is arranged with the centre rather than with us.
Tell us and we will rematch at no cost. You do not lose lessons, restart a plan or pay a fee. At A-Level the fit matters most in whether you will admit to not understanding something, which is the whole point of one to one teaching.
It depends on the subject and who is free at the times you can keep to. Evening slots fill first, and A-Level tutors are a smaller group than the GCSE team. Send your availability and we will tell you the next genuine option rather than quote a response time we cannot hold to.
Free 30-minute trial
Send the subject, the exam board and the grade you are aiming at. We will put forward one tutor who teaches that specification, or tell you plainly that we cannot cover it. No card details, no obligation, no follow-up sales call.
Enquiries answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We usually reply within minutes, and WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach us.
