Advanced level qualifications are known as A-Levels and are subject-based qualifications that can lead to further study, training, university or work.
Most 16 year old students will study three A-Levels over two years with the A-Level Exam now taken at the end of two years.
To begin an A-Level course, students will normally need at least five GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 with at least a grade 7 in the subjects that they wish to pursue through to A-Level.
An A-Level tutor has the opportunity to focus on the specific subjects and areas that a student may be struggling with. At school, a teacher can only give limited individual attention to each student, as there is limited classroom time available with the teacher required to meet the needs of the whole teaching group. An A-Level tutor can offer academic support to a student, if they have missed out on some of their learning, whether through illness, absence, a lack of understanding or a lack of effort. A short, direct and intensive course of lessons can have a profound impact on an A-Level student's performance and confidence. An A-Level tutor can add the polish, academic rigour and exam technique required to enable them to perform to their full potential in an exam situation.
