How A-Level Tutors Can Help
A-Levels are a big step up from GCSE, with more demanding content, greater independent study and higher expectations. Many students benefit from extra support to strengthen subject knowledge, break down complex ideas into manageable steps and stay on top of coursework, homework and revision. A tutor can provide regular structure and accountability, explain topics in different ways until they make sense, and help students turn class notes into clear revision resources. Tutors can also focus on exam-style questions and mark schemes so students understand what examiners are looking for, avoid common pitfalls and feel more confident in mocks and final exams. They can also provide reassurance and encouragement, helping students to manage stress, rebuild confidence and stay motivated when work feels overwhelming.
Tutors help to fill gaps in understanding and consolidate key topics, build a realistic, structured revision plan that fits around school or college commitments, and improve confidence, independence and motivation so students feel more in control of their studies and better prepared for their exams. This can give both students and parents greater peace of mind as exams approach.
A-Levels, Highers and Advanced Highers
A-Levels (Advanced Levels) are usually taken over two years in Years 12 and 13, with most students choosing three subjects. Strong results can open doors to university, apprenticeships and employment.
In Scotland, our tutors offer one-to-one support for Highers and Advanced Highers, which are the equivalent of A-Levels for students typically aged 16–18. Depending on distance and availability, lessons can take place online or as home visits, using SQA course content and specimen papers to prepare for assessments and exams.
Exams, Results and Resits
A-Level exams usually take place between May and June, with timetables set by each school or college and published on exam board websites such as AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and SQA. Our tutors are familiar with all major exam boards and use past papers and mark schemes in lessons so students can practise under realistic conditions.
A-Level and AS results are released in August each year.
For example:
- In 2026, results day in England and Wales is Thursday 13 August 2026, and in Scotland SQA results day (including Highers and Advanced Highers) is Tuesday 4 August 2026.
Exact dates are confirmed annually on the official exam board and SQA websites. Tutors can also support students in preparing for different outcomes, including university offers, Clearing and alternative pathways.
For students retaking A-Level exams or sitting them as private candidates, tutors can target the areas where marks were lost, work through past papers and examiner reports, and help build a focused revision plan.

A-Level Tutors for Adults and Undergraduates
We welcome enquiries from adults returning to education who need A-Levels for career or university entry, as well as undergraduates who would like extra help with A-Level content that underpins their degree. Tutors can offer flexible lesson times, including evenings and weekends, with lessons online or face-to-face depending on location and availability.
Many adults have been away from formal study for some time, and tutors are used to starting at a comfortable level and building skills and confidence steadily.
Vetted, Well-Qualified and Experienced Tutors
Personal Tutors has been introducing families to private tutors since 1970 and is one of the UK’s longest-established private tuition agencies. We place great importance on safeguarding and quality, and do not simply publish any advert; tutors must meet our entry criteria and complete our registration process before we introduce them to families. Tutors are at least university graduates; many are qualified teachers or lecturers. All tutors are required to hold an appropriate Enhanced DBS (Child Workforce) certificate or PVG in Scotland, and references are requested with an emphasis on character, conduct and safeguarding.
As an independent agency, we regularly collect feedback from parents and students and monitor tutors’ performance over time. This helps us continue to recommend tutors who provide a reliable, professional service and gives you added reassurance compared with unverified online adverts or anonymous listings.

How often should A-Level tuition take place?
This depends on the student’s needs, goals and current level of confidence. Many A-Level students have one lesson per week in each subject, with extra sessions added before mock exams and final exams. You can discuss a suitable plan with your chosen A-Level tutor.
Do you offer online as well as face-to-face A-Level tuition?
Yes. Many tutors offer local home visits, online A-Level tuition, or a combination of both. When you enter your postcode and select your preferences, we’ll show you tutors who can provide the type of tuition you prefer.
Which A-Level subjects can you help with?
We can usually offer tutors for most A-Level subjects, including Maths, Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, History, Geography and Languages (French and German), as well as other A-Level subjects. If you have a more specialist subject in mind, please contact us and we’ll let you know if there are tutors available.
How much does A-Level tuition cost?
Fees vary from tutor to tutor, depending on their qualifications, experience, subject and whether lessons are local home visits or online. In many cases, tutors also hold additional specialist qualifications in their subject area, such as master’s degrees, doctorates or relevant professional qualifications. Your free list email will include a recommended hourly fee range for the subject and level, as well as details of our small agency fee. You can then talk this through with your chosen tutor and agree what works for you both, with no obligation to go ahead if it doesn’t feel right.
Can A-Level tutoring help if exams are quite soon?
Yes. Even if exams are approaching, focused one-to-one support may still make a difference. Tutors can prioritise key topics, work through exam-style questions and help improve exam technique so students feel more confident on the day.
Do you help with A-Level resits and private candidates?
Yes. Many of our tutors work with students who are retaking A-Level exams or sitting them as private candidates. They can help identify where marks were previously lost, strengthen understanding and build a realistic revision plan.
How soon can A-Level tuition start?
This depends on tutor availability, your location and how flexible you can be with days and times. In some cases tuition can start quite quickly once you’ve chosen a tutor; at busier times, such as just before exams, it may take a little longer. Requesting your free list early gives you more choice of tutors and lesson times.
What happens if the tutor isn’t the right match?
If, after a few lessons, you feel that a tutor isn’t the right fit, you’re under no obligation to continue. You can contact us to discuss this and, where possible, we’ll suggest alternative tutors who may be more suitable.
Can adults and undergraduates use this service?
Absolutely. We welcome enquiries from adults who need A-Levels for career or university entry, as well as undergraduates who would like extra help with A-Level content that underpins their degree. Our A-Level tutors can offer flexible lesson times and can help rebuild confidence with study skills and exam preparation.
