A-Levels are a rigorous, globally recognised qualification that prepares students for university in the UK and beyond. Students typically take three or four subjects in depth over two years, sitting all their final exams at the end of the second year.
In London, A-Levels are the standard post-16 route, taught at state school sixth forms, sixth-form colleges, independent schools and specialist tutorial colleges, many of which take international students arriving at 16. Almost all use UK-domestic boards such as AQA, OCR, Edexcel and WJEC Eduqas, where the A-Level is linear and the AS is a separate qualification that does not count towards the final grade. That is a sharp change for students arriving from international schools, where the AS usually makes up half of the A-Level.
With tailored learning plans built around each school's syllabus and exam series, we help students across London reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in London
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in London:
- Westminster School
- St Paul's School
- City of London School
- Dulwich College
- Harris Westminster Sixth Form
- Brampton Manor Academy
- MPW London
- DLD College London
State schools and colleges: Students at London's school sixth forms and sixth-form colleges, where class sizes are larger and one-to-one support can make the difference at the top grades.
Independent schools: Students at London's independent schools aiming for Oxford, Cambridge and competitive courses such as medicine, where A* grades and admissions tests both matter.
International students: Students who move to London for sixth form, often from an IGCSE background, and need to adjust to linear UK A-Levels, new boards and a different style of assessment.
Private candidates: Students resitting after leaving school, studying online or adding a subject, who enter exams independently at a centre that accepts private candidates.
A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities, including London's own UCL, Imperial, King's College London and LSE, and are recognised for admission worldwide. For international families, a London sixth form gives students UK A-Levels, UCAS guidance and familiarity with the UK system before university.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- The qualification London universities are built around
- Recognised for US, European and international admissions
- Three or four subjects in depth rather than a broad diploma
Why students in London choose us
London has more tutors than anywhere else in the UK, but quality and specialism vary widely, and the best are booked up and expensive. Students arriving from international schools face a particular gap: most London tutors know the UK boards but not the Cambridge or Edexcel International courses a student took before, and few explain how linear A-Levels and a standalone AS change the way the two years should be planned.

I tutor English at A level and IGCSE, across both Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel. One to one, built around what the mark scheme actually rewards rather than what students assume it does.Tell me where you are and where you want to be, and we'll work out how to get there.

I'm a Business, Economics and Accounting teacher with over six years' experience preparing students for A Level, IGCSE and O Level exams. I teach to the Cambridge (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel specifications, so lessons are built around what each mark scheme rewards: precise definitions, application to the case, and well-supported evaluation.
At A Level, I focus on the skills that lift grades: structuring extended essay answers, applying theory to case-study data, and handling calculation-heavy Accounting questions. At IGCSE and O Level, I build secure foundations so students go into their exams confident.
My lessons are interactive and exam-focused. We work through past papers, examiner reports and mark schemes, and I connect every concept to real business examples so it sticks. Students leave with better grades and the confidence to think analytically and apply their knowledge independently.

Which boards and exam sessions
London schools and colleges almost all follow UK-domestic boards: AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel and WJEC Eduqas, with a small number of independent schools using Cambridge International for some subjects. UK A-Levels are linear, with all exams sat at the end of the course in a single summer series, and there is no autumn A-Level resit series. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen for each subject.
- UK boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, Eduqas): One May/June series each year with results in August. The AS is a separate qualification and does not count towards the A-Level grade.
- Cambridge and Edexcel International: Used by some independent schools and by students continuing an international course, with May/June and October/November series, and a January sitting for some Edexcel subjects.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
Most students in London are entered by their school or college. Those studying independently, resitting after leaving school, or taking a subject their school doesn't offer need to find an exam centre that accepts private candidates, which many schools do not. Specialist exam centres and some independent colleges in London take private entries, usually for a higher fee than school candidates pay. Registration deadlines fall several months before the summer series, and exam fees are paid to the centre, not to us.
- Through your school: Students at a school or college are entered automatically. Nothing to arrange.
- As a private candidate at a local centre: Choose a centre that accepts private candidates for your board. Subjects with coursework or a science practical endorsement need a centre that can supervise and assess that work, so confirm this before you commit to a board.
- Registration deadlines: Entries for the summer series close early in the year, with late fees after that. Plan early, especially for resits.

FAQs
We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.
Yes. Most London students take GCSEs rather than IGCSEs, so families usually choose our online GCSE tutoring, matched to the student's UK board. Students who arrived from international schools part-way through an IGCSE course, or are finishing one as private candidates, can use our online IGCSE tutoring. Both start from $50 USD (£38) per hour. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour.
London families pay the same USD rates as everyone else. A-Level and AS tutoring with an academic tutor starts from $60 USD (£45) per hour, and packages reduce that by 5% (10 to 20 hours), 10% (21 to 30), 12.5% (31 to 50) or 15% (51 hours and over). Pay as you go is invoiced after each lesson, and there are no lock-in contracts. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. Visit pricing.
Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the lesson fee. That applies if you cancel less than one hour before the start time, or don't turn up. You can still change a session time whenever you need to, as long as you give your tutor notice.
Yes. London is on GMT (UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (UTC+1) in summer. We record your availability and time zone when you apply, and only match you with a tutor who can teach when it suits you, for example after school, around sixth-form commitments or at weekends.
Yes, but you need a centre that accepts private candidates, and many London schools do not. Specialist exam centres and some independent colleges take private entries, usually for a higher fee than school candidates pay. If your subject has coursework or a science practical endorsement, confirm the centre can supervise it before committing to a board. Fees are paid to the centre, not to us. See our resit and retake tutoring.
Students on UK boards in London sit all their A-Level exams in a single May/June series at the end of the course, with results in August. There is no autumn A-Level resit series. Students on Cambridge or Edexcel International can also sit in October/November, and Edexcel International offers January for some subjects. Summer entries close early in the year, so confirm deadlines with your school or centre. See our A-Level tutoring.
Almost all London schools and colleges use UK boards: AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel and WJEC Eduqas. A small number of independent schools use Cambridge International for some subjects, and students continuing an international course may be on Edexcel International. Boards can differ by subject, so tell us each one and we will match a tutor who knows it.
Lessons are online only, in our own virtual classroom. London has more tutors than anywhere else in the UK, but quality varies and the best are booked up. Online, location stops limiting your choice: a student who arrived from an international school can work with a tutor who understands both their earlier Cambridge or Edexcel International course and their new UK board. Parents can join any lesson. See how it works.
Yes. We tutor A-Level students across London one-to-one online, matching each one with a tutor for their subject, exam board and target grade. That includes students at state sixth forms and colleges, independent school students aiming for Oxford, Cambridge or medicine, international students adjusting to linear UK A-Levels, and private candidates resitting or adding a subject. Apply online and a Learning Advisor will review it the same day.
