What moves a grade

Marks go missing in predictable places. A Year 12 topic that was never quite understood and everything since is built on. Answers that are right but not in the form the mark scheme wants. Time. So the first session is a diagnostic past paper, topic by topic, and we start where the marks are cheapest. Every tutor works from your exam board's own specification.

The date that matters isn't in Year 13. Predicted grades come from Year 12 exams, and they're what Oxford, Cambridge and everyone else reads in October. A B that becomes an A in the Year 12 summer changes who reads your application. That's where we push hardest.

How we teach it, and who does

Weekly in term, online on Scolari, with notes after each session that you can read. Maths and Further Maths are Leo, Archie, Abe, Ami and Injune. Physics is Leo, Archie, Abe and Geena. Chemistry and Biology are Emily, Emmie, Daniel, Benjamin, Kyla, Summer, George and Geena. Amber takes Biology and Philosophy, and Katerina takes Biology. History and English are Irina, Will and Jennifer. Geography is Annan. French and German are Owen and Jennifer.

The same tutors coach admissions, so a physics student's tutor takes them straight on to the ESAT and the interview without a handover. One of Leo's GCSE students went from 8-7-7 to 9-8-9 in science over a set of mocks.

“I found it really useful to be able to do essay plans with Will and find the knowledge beforehand, as it helped with my essay technique whilst also being effective revision.”

“I found it really useful to be able to do essay plans with Will and find the knowledge beforehand, as it helped with my essay technique whilst also being effective revision.”

Isla

A-Level History Student

“Owen gave very good support to my son before his French A-Level; his lessons were focussed and useful. He did great mock sessions for his oral and really helped him feel super prepared and confident. I would definitely recommend him.”

Debbie K

Parent of an A-Level French Student

“Owen has been an exceptional tutor for German A-Level for my daughter. He has expected and demonstrated high standards in terms of work undertaken. He has a very thorough knowledge of not just the subject but also the curriculum, which is so vital in a tutor. He has, outside of tutoring hours, ensured that work is marked and has been available for queries. I would recommend Owen completely and without hesitation for his dedication, knowledge, teaching skills and high standards.”

George R

Parent of an A-Level German Student

“Owen has been a fantastic German A-Level tutor for my daughter. His feedback during the sessions was precise and constructive and he has been generous with his time. Owen's lessons have been both valuable and enjoyable and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and committed tutor.”

FAQs

How often are lessons?

Weekly in term, from £55 an hour, and twice a week before Year 12 exams and mocks. An hour is standard, or 90 minutes for a timed paper with review.

Which exam board?

Yours. Send us the board and specification code from any past paper and your tutor works from that board's papers and mark schemes. Edexcel mechanics and AQA mechanics really aren't the same exam.

Can predicted grades change?

Your school sets them from Year 12 exams and will usually revise them if you give them a reason to. The time to change one is the Year 12 summer, so we plan the spring term around it.

Do I need Further Maths?

For Cambridge Maths, in practice yes, with STEP on top. For physics, engineering and computing at either university, strongly advised. If your school doesn't offer it, we can teach it alongside your other A-levels, and you can sit the exam as a private candidate.

How do online lessons work?

Video and a shared whiteboard in one window on Scolari. Past papers get annotated live, the notes stay afterwards, and progress is recorded after every lesson so nothing gets lost.
