Frequently asked questions
Which qualifications are equivalent to A-Levels?
UK universities treat the IB Diploma, Cambridge International A Levels and Pearson Edexcel International A-Levels as equivalent routes to A-Levels. For students on an American curriculum, AP exams (often with SAT or ACT scores) can play a similar role. Each university publishes its own requirements for each qualification.
Can one tutor help with both A-Levels and admissions tests?
Yes. Students preparing for the TMUA, ESAT, MAT or STEP often combine it with A-Level Maths or Further Maths tuition, because the content overlaps.
Do you help students applying to both UK and US universities?
Yes. Many of our students apply to both. We teach A-Levels or the IB alongside SAT or ACT preparation and can advise on how the two application systems differ.
Are lessons online or in person?
Both. We teach in person in London and online for students anywhere in the UK. Online lessons use a shared digital whiteboard, so working is visible step by step, and every session can be recorded for revision.
Do you offer one-to-one tuition or small groups?
Both. One-to-one tuition is fully tailored to the student. Small groups are capped at six students so that every student still gets individual feedback.
How do we get started?
Book a free consultation. We discuss the student's school, exam board, current grades and target, then recommend a plan. Most students begin with a diagnostic assessment so that lessons focus on real gaps rather than topics they already know.
Not sure which exam to focus on?
Book a free consultation and we'll map out the right plan for your target universities.
