My son gained almost two grades higher than his year 13 mock paper. His tutor was excellent.
For a lot of Tunbridge Wells students, A-Level is the first time hard work alone stops being enough, and the Year 12 grades show it. Our Tunbridge Wells A-Level tutors find where the subject changed shape and rebuild the study around it, well before UCAS predictions go in.

A SELECTIVE-TOWN YEAR 12 STORY
The students we see most in Tunbridge Wells aren't the ones who've fallen apart, they're the ones who breezed through GCSE and hit Year 12 baffled that the old approach stopped working. An A-Level tutor reads the recent work, marks it against the real scheme, and shows exactly where describing needs to become evaluating.

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.
This is the most common story we hear from selective-school families. The tutor doesn't just add content, they rebuild how the student works: how to plan an essay, how to revise actively, how to sit a timed paper. Once the method is in place the grades tend to follow, because the ability was never the issue.
Yes. Those schemes screen on predicted grades and on the strength of the application. So tutors work on the subject grades the route needs and help the student sharpen the written side. Most start in Year 12, so the evidence is ready before the window opens, and it runs alongside a UCAS plan since many students apply to both.
By finding the exact question types costing marks and drilling them weekly against real papers. The tutor marks the way the exam board marks, so the mock evidence a school uses for predictions has somewhere to move. Most families see a shift within six to eight weeks of steady sessions.
From £37 an hour. A recent Russell Group graduate teaching their own subject sits at the entry rate, while a senior tutor or qualified examiner sits higher. We agree the rate with you before any session, with no contracts.
