Parent of A-Level Student
My son gained almost two grades higher than his year 13 mock paper. His tutor was excellent.
Year 12 mocks quietly set the predicted grade UCAS eventually sees. Our Leeds A-Level tutors lift students out of borderline territory and into the band their offers actually ask for, well before those predictions get locked in.

TWO GRADES ON FROM THE YEAR 13 MOCK
A-Level results across Leeds sit close to the national picture, but the spread inside any one sixth form is wider than a headline suggests. What that hides is the student who did well at GCSE and now can't see where the marks are leaking. A Leeds A-Level tutor finds that leak on a past paper and builds the depth Year 13 papers reward.

Get in touch and we'll connect you with the right A-Level tutor for your child. We'll ask a few questions about their subjects, year group, and exam board — and introduce you to a tutor who fits.
It's very common, and it isn't an effort problem. A-Level Maths is genuinely a different subject, especially the balance of pure, mechanics and statistics. An A-Level Maths tutor finds the gap on a past paper in the first session, and the plan from session two builds the depth the Year 13 papers demand.
By working on the marks she's leaving on the table, not by racing through the specification again. Most of the movement comes from exam technique and AO3 evaluation, the parts a class of thirty rarely has time to mark and re-mark. Start in Year 12 and there's room to lift the predicted grade before it goes to UCAS.
Yes. Those schemes screen on predicted grades and UCAS points, so the tutoring work lifts a student into the band the more competitive routes ask for. Beyond the grades, the founders share guidance on the application itself, drawing on years of helping families weigh a degree apprenticeship against a university place.
From £37 per hour, with the rate depending on the subject and the tutor and agreed before booking. Most Leeds families settle on a weekly hour through Year 12, then add a second session in the run-up to the Year 13 mocks that set UCAS predictions.
