Secondary Tuition

A-Level Private Tuition

The step up into sixth form or college asks more of students than GCSEs ever did, and the goals shift too. Some are chasing top grades for a competitive application. Others just need a difficult subject to feel manageable again. Lionheart tutors adapt to each student, pairing subject expertise with exam-board precision and the mentorship that helps young people thrive.

Why Families Choose Lionheart

Our holistic learning approach

At Lionheart, we believe students learn best when they feel understood. Our tutors are mentors who can stretch students intellectually while still offering the reassurance they need in these pivotal years.

At A Level, that often means guiding students to think independently, debate with confidence, and connect their studies to the wider world.

Benefits that last well beyond their sessions

As students get to grips with a subject, they also get better at working through problems on their own, staying with something difficult, and trusting their own thinking. Those habits outlast the exam, and they’re what sixth form is really preparing them for.

Our Key Aims

How we support students for A-Levels

Strong A-Level results come from more than covering content. Our tutors focus on how a student learns, build the subject knowledge back up where it’s needed, and sharpen the exam skills that make the difference on the day. Everything below is part of that.

Building mastery & confidence

We revisit core concepts, close knowledge gaps, and strengthen understanding so students approach their A Level subjects with clarity and assurance.
Exam preparation & technique

Knowing a subject and performing well in the exam aren’t the same thing. Our tutors focus on the technique, so students go in knowing exactly what’s expected.
Stretching high achievers

For students aiming at A* grades or competitive university entry, we extend beyond the syllabus, encouraging deeper analysis, wider reading, and critical debate.
Specialist SEND support

Many of our tutors have extensive experience with students who learn differently, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, or autism. We adapt teaching approaches while maintaining ambition and rigour.
University preparation

Alongside subject tuition, we help students develop the independent study skills, confidence, and intellectual curiosity that set them up for higher education.

Your A-level questions answered

How does A-Level tuition with Lionheart work?

We begin with a careful consultation to understand your child’s goals, current progress, and learning style. From there, we match them with a subject-specialist tutor who knows their exam board in detail. Lessons are entirely one-to-one, designed to build knowledge, sharpen technique, and give students the confidence to perform at their best.
What subjects do you offer for A-Level tutoring?

We provide expert tuition across all major A-Level subjects, including Maths, Further Maths, English, Sciences, Humanities, Languages, and Economics. Beyond the core subjects, we also offer tailored support in areas such as Politics, Psychology, and Computer Science. Every programme is personalised to the student’s needs and future ambitions.
Do your tutors specialise in exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, or OCR?

Yes. Our tutors have detailed knowledge of all major UK exam boards, AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and Cambridge International, as well as the nuances between them. Tuition is always aligned precisely to the specification your child is studying, with exam technique tailored to each board’s style of questioning.
Can A-Level tutoring help improve predicted grades?

Absolutely. Many families come to us seeking higher predicted grades for university applications. Our tutors work on the specific areas that influence teachers’ assessments. This could be essay structure or problem-solving. This also helps students demonstrate consistency and progress in schoolwork.
What support is available for Oxbridge or Medicine applicants?

We offer specialised preparation for competitive university pathways, including Oxbridge and Medicine. This can include admissions test preparation, personal statement coaching, and mock interviews. For students taking A-Levels, this support runs alongside subject tuition, ensuring academic rigour and application readiness go hand in hand.
Can tutoring help with A-Level resits or exam retakes?

Yes. We regularly support students preparing for resits, whether in November or the following summer. Tuition focuses on previous weak points, exam timing, and rebuilding confidence. Many students make significant grade improvements through a carefully structured retake programme.
Do you provide intensive revision during school holidays?

We do. Holiday revision programmes are a popular option for students wanting to consolidate knowledge, prepare for mocks, or get ahead. These can be short booster courses or more intensive schedules, tailored to fit family plans and academic priorities.
Can you support international students taking A-Levels?

Yes. We work with international families across the globe, either online or through residential tutors. Our team is experienced in supporting students who may be new to the UK curriculum, ensuring they are fully prepared for A-Levels and competitive university applications.

Hear from our families

For over three decades, we’ve had the privilege of supporting families through their most important educational decisions. Here’s what parents say about their journey with Lionheart.

Just a quick note to say thank you to the whole team. James has his place at Latymer and we honestly couldn't have done it without Sarah's guidance. She knew exactly when to push and when to ease off. Something we never quite mastered as parents! The mock interview session was particularly helpful in building his confidence.
The Thompson Family

Thank you so much for arranging the mock interview. Having someone who actually knows what schools are looking for made such a difference to Ben's confidence. He went into his Hampton interview knowing exactly how to structure his answers and when to expand on topics. The whole process felt much less mysterious after that practice session
Claire and Tom H.

As parents, we were drowning in 11+ advice and conflicting strategies. Lionheart cut through all the noise with clear, expert guidance tailored specifically to our daughter. The difference wasn't just in her results, it was in her entire approach to learning. She's now thriving at St Paul's Girls' and still uses the study techniques they taught her.
