Live 1:1 & pairs A-Level preparation

A-Level Online Tutoring: Live Small Classes

Depth, exam technique and a steady plan for AS and A2

A-Levels go much deeper than IGCSE, and the jump catches many students by surprise. Our small live A-Level classes (1:1 or pairs) rebuild any shaky foundations, teach each topic to the depth the exam needs, and practise the longer, multi-step questions that decide the top grades.

  • A-Level Mathematics

    Pure mathematics, mechanics, and probability and statistics, with careful work on algebraic fluency and method marks.

  • A-Level Further Mathematics

    Complex numbers, matrices, further calculus, and further mechanics and statistics for students aiming at math-heavy degrees.

  • A-Level Physics

    Mechanics, materials, waves, electricity, fields, and nuclear and particle physics, including practical-skills questions.

  • A-Level Chemistry

    Physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, with practice on mechanisms, calculations and data questions.

How our A-Level preparation works

  1. 1

    Start with a diagnostic

    The first classes find out exactly which A-Level topics are secure and which are not, so no time is spent on what your child already knows.

  2. 2

    Teach the concept, then the exam

    Each weak topic is taught properly first. Only then do we move to exam-style questions, so marks come from understanding and not from memorised steps.

  3. 3

    Practise with real question styles

    Students work through past-paper style questions, learn how marks are awarded, and practise writing answers the way examiners expect.

  4. 4

    Timed practice and review

    Closer to the exam, classes include timed sections. Every mistake is reviewed and sorted: a gap in knowledge, a misread question, or a timing problem.

  5. 5

    Parents stay informed

    After each class you can see what was covered and what comes next, so you always know how preparation is going.

FAQs

A-Level tutoring: common questions

  • We teach to your child's syllabus, including Cambridge International AS and A Level and Pearson Edexcel International A Level. Share the board and subject code when you book.

  • Yes. For students preparing without a school, the teacher plans the full syllabus across the available time and sets regular practice between classes.

  • It depends on the subject and how much support school provides. Many students take one or two classes a week per subject, and more close to exams. The free trial helps decide.

  • Yes. The first class is free, and it includes a check of your child's current level.
