By Year 13, the difference between a summary and a real evaluation is the difference between a C and an A on most essay papers. Our Liverpool A-Level tutors mark and re-mark work the way examiners do, so the judgement marks stop leaking before offers land.
From £37/hr · rates agreed directly with your tutor
FROM Cs TO As ON MERSEYSIDE
A Liverpool or LJMU offer turns on a predicted grade, and in Year 13 that grade is mostly decided by evaluation marks. What a Liverpool A-Level tutor usually finds first is a student who knows the content cold but writes it like a GCSE answer, listing points where the examiner wants judgement.
"The Degree Gap helped my child go from Cs to As. They have a great selection of tutors who not only assist with the curriculum but also helped with university choices and applications."

This is the classic AO3 gap, and it's fixable. The content is usually all there; what's missing is the habit of weighing one point against another and reaching a judgement. A tutor drills that evaluation move on real questions, marking and re-marking until the structure becomes automatic. The grade tends to move once the writing starts arguing instead of describing.
By finding where the marks are actually going, then working the exam technique that recovers them. Predicted grades come from performance in mocks and class assessments, so the work is on the papers, not the prediction itself. Start in Year 12 or early Year 13 and there's real room to move before offers are confirmed.
Yes. The engineering route at Halewood and the life-sciences schemes out at Speke screen on strong A-Level grades and a genuine reason for choosing them over university. Tutoring lifts the subject grades into the band those schemes look for, and families get guidance on how the apprenticeship and university options stack up against each other.
From £37 an hour, with qualified examiners and the most experienced tutors priced higher. You'll know the rate before you commit. Most Liverpool families run a weekly session across Year 12 and 13, adding a second in the run-up to the mocks that set UCAS predictions.
