WINNER — TUTORING SPECIALISTS OF THE YEAR 2025
Brighton A-Level Tutors Built for the Pace of a Big Sixth-Form College
Some Year 12s are still finding their feet after the jump from GCSE. Others are in Year 13 with an offer to hit and a mock that came back short. Our Brighton A-Level tutors work both ends, tracing what's actually leaking marks and rebuilding it before predictions go to UCAS.

TWO GRADES UP IN BRIGHTON
What a Brighton A-Level Tutor Catches That a Big Class Misses
In a college of a few thousand, two students can sit in the same room with completely different problems. One is a Year 13 whose evaluation stalls after the first counter-argument; the other did fine at GCSE and got blindsided by how much A-Level throws at you. A Brighton A-Level tutor reads the actual paper, marks it the way the exam board marks, and starts from whichever gap is real, the missing content or the exam-day timing.

What A-Level Subjects Do We Cover?
A-Level Maths Tutoring
Pure, mechanics and statistics — three subjects in one. Tutors target the topics your child is losing most marks on first.
A-Level Biology Tutoring
The volume of content catches most students out. We help your child structure revision and master the long-answer questions.
A-Level Chemistry Tutoring
Mechanisms, calculations and required practicals — broken down with the worked-example clarity school often skips.
A-Level Physics Tutoring
Most marks are won on multi-step problem solving. Our tutors teach the exam-board technique alongside the physics.
A-Level Economics Tutoring
Evaluation answers are where the A and A* grades are won. We focus on the analysis chain examiners actually reward.
A-Level Psychology Tutoring
Studies, theories and AO3 evaluation. Our tutors know exactly which detail wins marks and which is wasted effort.
A-Level History Tutoring
Source analysis, interpretation essays and the 25-markers — we help your child argue clearly under timed conditions.
A-Level English Literature Tutoring
For students who understand the text but freeze on the timed essay. We build structure and exam technique.
A-Level Computer Science Tutoring
Programming projects, theory exams and the NEA — we cover the whole specification, not just the parts school taught.

The A level tutoring made such a difference to my son, who had left studying until the final hour, managing to turn E and U grades into 3 C grades. Amazing.

My tutor was amazing. He helped me shape my personal statement into something I was truly proud of, and thanks to his support, I got into my dream university. Highly recommend to anyone applying to uni.

Cannot recommend The Degree Gap highly enough. Quick and helpful responses. I was immediately matched with a very competent tutor who was a massive help in helping me exceed my target grade and achieve a first class degree at university.
Tommy
★★★★★
University Student
I wish I had found The Degree Gap when I was sitting my school exams. They helped with my dissertation work and without their help I am not sure I would have graduated so successfully and landed a successful job.
Lisa
★★★★★
Parent
The Degree Gap has exceeded all my expectations. They have gone above and beyond to pair both my sons with the appropriate tutors, all of whom have been exceptional. Both my sons exceeded their expected grades in their GCSEs and A Levels and got into their first choice universities. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

WHAT COULD BE NEXT
Where Brighton A-Levels Take Students Next
Results day sets the next step, and Brighton students tend to split across three of them.
Universities
The University of Sussex out at Falmer and the University of Brighton take a big local share, and the two run the joint Brighton and Sussex Medical School for students going into Medicine. Plenty of Brighton A-Level students head off to the Russell Group as well, with Sussex and Brighton themselves strong on the sciences, media and Law.
Degree Apprenticeships
American Express runs degree and higher apprenticeships out of its Brighton operation across tech, finance and analytics, and both city universities offer their own, Sussex in data science and AI, Brighton in digital, health and engineering. Each publishes its own predicted-grade requirements, and the more competitive routes ask near the top of the A-Level band.
Career Pathways
Brighton’s digital and creative economy, the Silicon Beach cluster of studios, agencies and start-ups, pulls a lot of A-Level leavers straight into work or foundation routes. American Express and Octopus Energy hire locally too, and the NHS Sussex trusts take students into Nursing and allied-health degree routes from the same cohort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to start A-Level tutoring in Year 12, or leave it until Year 13?
Year 12 is the more common start, and it's the easier one. Beginning there means the foundations get solid before the Year 13 mocks that shape the predicted grade, and there's room to fix a shaky topic without a deadline breathing down. But Year 13 still works, especially for exam technique and the longer essay questions where a lot of marks sit. Plenty of families come to us mid-Year 13 and still move the grade.
My son got strong GCSEs but A-Level has knocked him. Is that normal, and what does a tutor do about it?
Completely normal. A-Level asks for a different kind of thinking than GCSE, more independent study and far more content to hold at once, and a strong GCSE student can still get caught out by the volume. A tutor traces which part is actually slipping, the content or the exam technique, and drills it weekly on past papers. Sessions run through Lessonspace and get recorded, so he can rewatch the harder explanations as often as he needs.
Can a Brighton A-Level tutor help with an American Express or university degree apprenticeship application?
Yes. American Express and both city universities publish predicted-grade requirements for their apprenticeship routes, and the more competitive schemes ask near the top of the A-Level band. A tutor helps lift the predicted grade toward what the scheme wants, and the subject work runs right through the application year. We can also talk through which route fits, since the apprenticeship path isn't always the obvious one from school.
Do you help with subject choices and UCAS, or only the tutoring itself?
Both. Every family speaks with one of the founders before any tutor is matched, and that conversation often covers more than the immediate subject: A-Level combinations, or whether a degree apprenticeship makes more sense than a degree. It's the same ground the founders have walked with hundreds of families through exams and applications. The tutoring is the core of it, but the wider steer comes with it.
