A Levels

A level (General Certificate of Education Advanced level) is a two year qualification at key stage 5 (KS5) aimed at learners aged 16+. Most students typically study 3 or 4 subjects at A level.

Preparation for A levels

After completing their GCSEs, students will carry on into years 12 and 13 either at a college or sixth form to do their A-levels, with exams at the end of year 13. A levels play a crucial role in progression into higher education; universities and colleges will offer grade boundaries where students will need to achieve prerequisite grades before they can apply. For example, a student may need to achieve grades ABB or A*AA in order to apply to their chosen course.

For young people faced with the pressure of achieving top grades for university applications, working with a tutor can be transformative. As well as offering excellent subject knowledge, tutors can offer strategies to manage stress, ensuring students remain focused and confident. A tutor not only improves their student's ability to study more effectively but also provides deeper insights into their chosen subjects, sparking genuine interest and enthusiasm. Specialist tutors bring a wealth of expertise, going beyond the syllabus to enhance the student’s understanding and preparing them for university-level study. Investing in professional tuition services can give students the academic edge they need to excel in their exams and future studies.​
