A Levels are exams taken by students in England and Wales, usually at the end of Year 13, following two years of study. Most students only take only three or four A Levels. Although the curriculum for each subject varies between exam boards, A Levels represent a significant step up in detail and difficulty compared to GCSEs.
We can provide tuition for all the leading A Level exam boards, including Pearson (Edexcel), OCR, AQA, and WJEC Eduqas. The expert tutors we introduce have helped students achieve top grades across each of the exam boards. They are highly familiar with the unique requirements of every exam board and tailor their tutoring to ensure your child is thoroughly prepared for their final exams.
We can provide tuition for every major subject at A Level, including:

A Levels represent a significant step up in academic rigour and difficulty from GCSEs. With most students taking only three or four A Levels (compared to around three times as many GCSES), A Levels are more detailed, demanding and intense. As such, many students can struggle to make the step up to the standard required.
Furthermore, A Levels are vital for admission to university and therefore have a huge impact on your child’s academic and career prospects. Universities will base their decision to offer your child a place in large part on their predicted A Level grades. Then, once they’ve made their offer, your child will need to secure certain grades in their A Levels to meet it and ensure admission.
Working with an experienced and qualified A Level tutor can take the pressure off, ensuring your child excels in their A Levels, receives strong predicted grades and meets their potential in the final exams.
An A Level tutor is a subject expert and an experienced and passionate teacher. Working one-to-one with a student, they can lead them through the A Level curriculum, reinforcing areas of strength and explaining any concepts or topics the student does not understand. A good A Level tutor should always have an eye on the exam, and use their in-depth knowledge of the exam board the student is taking to ensure they are thoroughly prepared for their assessments.
A Levels are the most commonly retaken exams in the UK. If your child didn’t achieve the results they were hoping for or that they needed for their chosen university, an A Level retake and resit tutor will help them to improve their results second time around. We introduce the highest calibre of A Level tutors for retakes. They can consolidate your child’s knowledge, address any areas they struggled with at the first attempt, and provide new exam and revision techniques. A Level retake tutors ensure that one bad result won’t stand in the way of gaining a place at their chosen university.
At SLT, all of our tuition is delivered one-to-one. In school, individual attention is limited – teachers move classes along according to the understanding of the ‘average’ student, meaning if your child finds a topic particularly easy or difficult, the class does not move at the right pace for them. A good A Level tutor will target the areas your child struggles with, tailoring their teaching style precisely to the student’s individual requirements. The effect is often transformative – students make rapid progress and reach their full potential in their final A Level exams.
There are many ways to be a great A Level tutor, but all tutors should have the following:
At SLT, all of the tutors we introduce are highly qualified, hand-picked, and personally matched to your child. Get in touch if you would like to book in an A Level tutor or to find out more.
A Level and AS Level tuition can take place online, in person in London or live in. We can also introduce tutors for A-Level home schooling, including registering your child for their exams. If they need it, your child can have a tutor for each of their A-Level subjects. We keep in touch with you to hear how your child is doing and can increase or decrease tuition accordingly, depending on progress in each subject.
Every A Level tutor that we introduce will have an exemplary academic record, usually with a degree or postgraduate degree in the A Level subject that they tutor, plus experience with your child’s exam board and teaching effective exam technique.
We recommend working with A-Level tutors with a wealth of proven previous experience teaching at A-Level. They should have experience with your child’s exam board. For subjects like English and History, they’ll need to be familiar with the particular set texts and areas of History.
