Why AS Level needs the right tutor

AS Level is where the step up from GCSE actually happens. Marks are won on application, technique and timing rather than recall, and the habits built in this first year decide how the second one goes.

What makes AS Level hard to prepare for alone

AS Level moves faster and goes deeper than anything students have done before, and it is studied alongside two or three other subjects at the same level. Classes are taught to the middle of the room, so gaps formed in the first term are easy to carry forward unnoticed.

  • A sharp step up in difficulty from GCSE
  • Marks decided by technique, not recall
  • Grades that determine university options

How tutoring changes the outcome

One-to-one tutoring targets the two things a classroom cannot: exam technique and the specific topics a student keeps getting wrong. A tutor marks work the way an examiner would, shows where the marks went, and then drills those areas until they hold. Confidence follows from that, not the other way round.

  • Exam technique built on real past papers
  • Targeted work on areas of weakness
  • Confidence going into the exam

Check whether your AS grades count

Depending on your exam board and the route your school has chosen, your AS subjects may count towards your final A-Level grade. Worth confirming early, because it changes how much rests on the Year 12 exams.

Curious by nature, engineer by training, teacher by heart.

Hi! I was born in Güines, a big village in Cuba, where I grew up surrounded by nature—probably why I still love being outside. I went to a high-tech secondary school, where I fell in love with Physics, Mathematics, science, and electronics. Later, I moved to Europe and got my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electronic Engineering. Seven years in different European cities gave me a love for art, history, and museums, and friends from all over the world.

I worked first as an engineer in a biotechnology research center, and later taught IGCSE Math, Physics, and Science for over 10 years at an international school in Havana (ISH). I also tutored students in A-level Physics online. Tutoring and classroom teaching taught me what inclusiveness, active learning, differentiation, and inquiry really mean.

Now I'm retired from in-person teaching and living in Buenos Aires with my wife and my daughter's family. I'm excited to keep teaching and learning with you!

I am Hans K and a native from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I have been teaching IB/DP , IGCSE and 'O' and 'A' levels for the last 20 years on a variety of internationals schools, both in Europe and the U.S. I carry degrees from Leiden Uni. in Leiden, The Netherlands, and completed my doctors course work at Carnegie-Mellon Uni. in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

I think it was the Cambridge Assessment Exam Board where the exams were forwarded to by the school.

Teaching provides a unique opportunity to shape lives and influence young people towards a responsible future, hence, my passion for teaching. As one with a passion for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, I understand that many students face real challenges grasping the concepts of the subjects. Hence, teaching provides me the avenue to tackle this, while also making a contribution; giving back to the society and also challenging myself towards further growth and development. I have taught since my secondary school days; taking more than 800 students in total; at various levels (on a one-on-one basis, in groups and at mass teaching levels). I have also taught at various educational levels (secondary and tertiary) as well as to a diverse range of student ethnic backgrounds with a very high success rate in student comprehension evinced by their later performance. Having gained significant experience teaching this subject, I have a very broad understanding of what is expected of students writing the GCSEs and A-level exams. I have also prepared students for varying exams including the – 11+, 13+, 16+, and curricula - GCSE and A-levels (Edexcel, OCR, AQA), IB (SL and HL) and Scottish National with excellent results from students - most of my students achieving grades 8 and 9. My teaching success rate has been largely due to my deep and vast understanding of the subject matter, coupled with my calm, interesting and engaging manner of communication that makes even an average and uninterested student develop a desire for Maths and Science. I use diverse teaching-aids, web-resources etc. as necessary."

I hold a First Class honours degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Advanced Chemical Engineering from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. I am also a UK Qualified Teacher with more than 4000 hours teaching/tutoring experience over a period of 15+ years. This has provided me with diverse experience necessary for tutoring different students' backgrounds with evident successes in the exams. I am hoping to be of help and assistance to any student in need.

What does AS Level involve?

AS Level is the first year of A-Level study, taken in Year 12. On some boards it can be certificated as a standalone qualification; on others it is simply the first half of the two-year course. Either way, it is where the foundation for the final grade is built. Here's how it works.

01

How AS Level works

Students choose three or four subjects and study the first half of each in Year 12. There are no compulsory core subjects: you pick the subjects that fit the degree and career you are aiming for. Some students drop a subject after AS and carry three through to A2.

  • Three or four subjects, chosen freely
  • Year 12, the first half of the A-Level course
  • Standalone qualification on some boards
  • A natural point to narrow subject choices
02

How you're assessed

AS Level is marked by the exam board, not by teachers, and the grade rests mainly on written exams. Some subjects add a practical element or coursework, but exam performance is what counts. AS grades run from A, the top grade, down to E, with U for ungraded.

  • Externally examined, not teacher-marked
  • Mainly final written exams
  • Practical or coursework in some subjects
  • Graded A to E (U = ungraded)
03

Why they matter

AS results are the strongest evidence a school has when setting predicted grades, and predicted grades are what university offers are made against through UCAS. A strong AS year widens the range of courses worth applying to; a weak one narrows it before the application is even written.

  • The basis for predicted grades
  • Shapes which courses are realistic
  • Sets the trajectory into Year 13
  • A recoverable point to fix weak areas

Continuing into Year 13?

Every subject listed here is also tutored at A-Level, so students carrying a subject through to Year 13 keep the same tutor and the same plan. See A-Level tutoring.

What does sitting AS Level involve?

AS Level is a one year course with exams at the end of Year 12. The exact shape depends on your subject and the exam board.

01

Format and structure

Most A-Level subjects are assessed by two or three written papers sat at the end of Year 13. Papers usually split the content between them, with one often synoptic, drawing on the whole course. Question types range from short answer and structured questions through to essays, depending on the subject.

  • Typically two or three written papers
  • Question types vary by subject and board
  • Coursework or NEA in some subjects
  • Sciences carry a separate practical endorsement
02

Timing and marking

Papers usually run between 1½ and 2½ hours. Marking is done externally by the exam board, and grades are awarded against boundaries set each year rather than a fixed percentage. Boundaries move slightly with the difficulty of the paper, which is why raw marks alone tell you little.

  • Papers commonly 1½ to 2½ hours
  • Externally marked by the exam board
  • Grade boundaries set each year
  • A* to E, with U for ungraded
03

Where and when it's sat

Exams are sat in fixed series set by the exam board, and are normally taken at the school or college teaching the course. Private candidates, including students resitting, register with an approved exam centre themselves. Entries close months in advance, so the timetable is worth checking early.

  • Fixed exam series set by the board
  • Results published on a set date
  • Entries close months in advance
  • Private candidates register with an approved centre
See the detail for your board

The AS year sets up the A2 year

Year 13 builds directly on the content and technique established in Year 12, and a gap left unfixed at AS tends to widen rather than close. Getting the foundations right now is what makes the second year manageable.

How we prepare you for AS Level

The AS year is where study habits are set, and the ones a student carries into Year 13 matter as much as the content they cover. The first session is about understanding where the student is now: the tutor discusses goals with the student and parent, sets measurable outcomes, and develops a roadmap with them. From there, lessons follow a cycle of guided work, independent practice and review, which is how habits get built rather than talked about.

01

Key skills tutors focus on

Content knowledge is the starting point, not the goal. AS papers reward applying what you know to something you have not seen before, and saying it in the words the mark scheme is looking for. Learning that now means arriving at the final exams with the technique already in place.

  • Reading the command word and answering the question asked
  • Applying a known method to an unfamiliar context
  • Structuring extended answers so every mark is earned
  • Working accurately under exam timing
02

Materials and practice used

Practice comes from real past papers for your board, marked against the official mark scheme. Lessons run on a shared online whiteboard, so worked solutions are saved and can be revisited between sessions. Students leave each lesson with specific work to do, which is how independent study habits get built rather than talked about.

  • Past papers and mark schemes for your board
  • Timed papers under exam conditions
  • Examiner-style feedback on written work
  • Set work between lessons to build independence
03

Common mistakes we help students avoid

Most lost marks are predictable, and the habits behind them form early. Students revise by rereading rather than answering questions, write everything they know instead of what was asked, and treat AS as a warm-up rather than the foundation of the final grade. Each one is far easier to fix in Year 12 than in Year 13.

  • Revising content instead of practising questions
  • Ignoring the wording of the mark scheme
  • Leaving long-answer questions until last
  • Treating the AS year as a warm-up

AS Level tutoring FAQs

Vetting, pricing and how the online classroomworks. Anything not answered here, ask a LearningAdvisor.

Can I keep the same tutor from AS Level to A-Level?

Yes. Your tutor is matched to your subject and exam board, so they can carry on with you into Year 13 and the full A-Level. That keeps continuity, because they already know your strengths and the topics you find hardest. Learn more about online A-Level tutoring.

Why get an AS Level tutor in Year 12?

AS Level is where the real step up from GCSE happens. Marks depend on application and exam technique rather than recall, and habits formed in Year 12 shape Year 13. An AS Level tutor targets weak topics before they carry forward, and helps build the results that predicted grades are based on.

How much does AS Level tutoring cost?

Online AS Level tutoring is priced the same as A-Level: from $60 USD (£45) per hour with an academic tutor. Pay as you go, invoiced only after each lesson, or buy a package upfront and save up to 15%. There are no lock-in contracts. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. See our 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.

Do AS Level grades count towards my final A-Level?

It depends on your exam board and the route your school has chosen. In some cases, AS results count towards the final A-Level grade. In others, they don't. Either way, schools use AS results to set predicted grades for UCAS. Check with your school early, because it changes how much rests on your Year 12 exams.

What is the difference between AS Level and A-Level?

AS Level is the first year of A-Level study, taken in Year 12. On some exam boards it can be certified as a standalone qualification; on others it's simply the first half of the two-year course. AS grades run from A to E, while full A-Levels go up to A*. Find out more about online A-Level tutoring.

How quickly can I be matched with a tutor?

A Learning Advisor reviews every application the same day it comes in. Once a suitable tutor is confirmed, they contact you directly to arrange your first lesson. Matching is based on subject, exam board, target grade and availability, including your time zone.

Is there a free trial?

We don't offer a free trial. Instead, every student gets our first session satisfaction guarantee: if you're not happy after your first lesson, we refund it in full and find you another tutor at no cost. See our pricing for what's included.
