Learntit A-Level tuition covers Maths, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics for students in Years 12 and 13. We work through the full specification in order, integrate past paper practice throughout, and teach the depth of understanding that A-Level examiners reward.

The step from GCSE to A-Level is the largest academic transition most students experience. The content is harder, the volume is greater, and the standard of answers required to score highly is significantly higher.
Students who achieved Grade 8 or 9 at GCSE regularly find A-Level significantly harder than they anticipated. The transition is not a continuation of GCSE content. It demands a different quality of thinking, more precise use of mathematical and scientific language, and a much greater ability to work independently.
Russell Group universities commonly require AAA or AAB for STEM programmes. Medicine, dentistry, and competitive engineering courses may require three A grades alongside UCAT or BMAT scores. A-Level grades are the single largest factor in university admissions, and there is no resit mechanism that carries the same weight.
All A-Level content, including Year 12 topics, is assessed in the final Year 13 examinations. Students who develop weak understanding in Year 12 carry that into a year where they are simultaneously covering new content and preparing for finals. The time to build solid foundations is Year 12, not Year 13.
Four subjects, each taught in full from the beginning of the specification. Lessons are aligned to the student's exam board and built around the topics that carry the most marks.

A-Level demands a higher standard of thinking than any previous stage. The approach reflects that: deeper understanding, earlier exam practice, and explicit work on the type of extended answers that distinguish A grades from B grades.
Every student begins from the start of the specification, regardless of what has been covered in school. Topics already well understood are moved through quickly. Those that are not are given the time they need. At A-Level, gaps do not stay contained.
A-Level marking rewards precision. Correct methods written ambiguously, incomplete units, missing steps in derivations, and vague explanations all cost marks. Students are taught to write with the clarity and structure that examiners credit, not just to arrive at correct answers.
Exam questions are used throughout tuition, not only as the exam approaches. Students learn what examiners are looking for, how mark schemes reward answers, and how to structure responses to multi-mark and extended questions from early in the course.
Six-mark extended writing questions, evaluate and discuss tasks, and practical analysis questions are taught as a distinct skill set. Students who can answer calculation questions well but cannot write extended answers are consistently held back at A-Level.
A-Level Maths and Science tuition is available as 1-to-1 lessons or as part of a structured small-group programme. Both options are billed monthly with a paid trial available.
Students booking more than one 1-to-1 lesson per week qualify for a reduced rate of £5 off per hour. Lesson frequency and structure are discussed during the initial consultation.
Start With a Trial
We offer paid trial lessons so students and parents can experience the teaching properly before moving into regular monthly tuition. At A-Level, getting the right fit between student and tutor matters. The trial is a real lesson covering genuine content relevant to the student's year group, subject, and exam board.
Tell us the student's year group, subject, exam board, current grade, and the university grade requirements they are working towards.
The trial covers real A-Level content aligned to the student's specification and exam board. It gives an accurate picture of what regular tuition looks like in practice.
If both student and parent are satisfied, regular weekly lessons are arranged on a monthly basis, working through the full specification from the beginning.
Who This Is Best For
Whether a student is aiming for the grades required to study medicine or simply wants to make sure they do not fall behind in a subject they find difficult, A-Level tuition at Learntit is built around what the student actually needs.
Students in Years 12 or 13 working towards specific university entry grades in Maths or Science subjects
Students who are confident with calculation-based questions but struggle with extended writing, evaluation, and discussion answers
Students in Year 12 who want to build solid foundations before the Year 13 content loads and exam pressure increases
Students who find A-Level significantly harder than GCSE and need structured support to close the gap between where they are and where they need to be
A clear process designed to get students into the right support without delay, with structure agreed from the very first session.
Share the student's year group, subject or subjects, exam board, current grade, and the university requirements or target grades they are working towards.
We agree which subject or subjects to prioritise, how many sessions per week are needed, and how to structure tuition around the student's school schedule and exam dates.
The student completes a paid trial lesson in their chosen subject, aligned to their exam board and specification. Both student and parent can assess the teaching before committing to monthly sessions.
Regular weekly lessons are arranged on a monthly basis, beginning from the start of the specification and working through the full content with past paper practice built in throughout.
