Get the grades you want without the stress you don’t
With over 12 years of experience, whatever your situation – I’ve got your back. I don’t do this as a side hustle. As a full-time tutor, I am always available. I’ve also spent thousands of hours analysing every question on every past paper.
Ideally September or October. At the start of the new school year. This way, you can get as high a grade as you want. Only your effort will limit you. Not your current ability. You should have 1 lesson a week. Maybe 2 a week if you want to FULLY cover 2 or 3 subjects.
If you have left it later than this:
- 3-4 months before an exam.
- The holidays, summer, half terms.
I can advise you on how many lessons a week and hours of homework you will need to reach your goals. - Finally, occasional lessons anytime during your course.
For capable students before interviews, entrance exams, or competitions. Or when hitting a tricky topic.
The earlier you realise you need help the better.
Students usually see a good improvement, with most seeing a 1 to 3 grade increase. E.g. from a C to an A would be a 2-grade increase.
I have seen greater improvements than this several times. Most of my students end up getting 7-9s.
Making notes to memorise information, instead of testing. The fancy way of saying this is ‘active recall’ methods.
To be fair, a lot of research has taken place in this area. And all of it comes back with the same results: note takers score less than people who use active recall methods.
Active recall is when you force yourself to recall information.
Methods like closing the textbook/revision guide, then repeating what you read in own words.
Also flashcards, worksheets and past papers obviously fall under this category.
Absolutely. I can answer any question you place in front of me.
I know an expert in all my subjects. I know every part of every exam board. I need no advance notice of what you want to cover.
Even the hardest question from the end of any exam or competition I can figure out.
Over my many years tutoring, I have only been stumped a couple of times. In both cases I figured them out within 48 hours and sent solutions. To be fair these were horrendous questions!
I also show you how I think while solving these live, which is a great way to learn how to think. Working together through homework in a lesson is a great way to learn quickly while also taking some of the load off your shoulders.
I always make sure you are learning how to do it, not just watch me doing it for you. Watching me do questions doesn’t help you score higher in your exams. And that is my primary goal.
Weekly lessons throughout the last or both years of the GCSE/A-Level are my usual advice. I don’t offer fortnightly lessons at a fixed day/time. But you can book ad-hoc lessons any time with my online booking system.
If you a lot of help with 1 subject, but only a bit for 1/2 others, 1 lesson a week is OK. To cover two or more subjects fully, 2 lessons a week are needed.
More than 1 lesson a week is advisable if you really need a decent boost, or if you start tuition later in the year, especially near exams.
Sometimes pupils are so busy during term time, they can only fit lessons in during holidays. Here we do a concentrated block of lessons, usually 2 or more a week. This requires genuine work and dedication between lessons.
I've helped over 300 students smash their exams.
Andrew is a great tutor and has helped my daughter enormously with Chemistry A level.
