Thinking about A-level tuition for Year 11 or Year 12? Now is the time to book.
One thing that has always been important to us at A+ Tutoring Services is the quality of our tutors. We carefully select subject specialists who are experts in what they teach. Many are current or former examiners, and all have a strong track record of helping students achieve excellent grades.
The challenge is that tutors of this calibre are always in high demand.
Every year, some families decide to wait until September before arranging tuition, only to find that the tutor they wanted is already fully booked. This year, bookings have started particularly early, and we are already down to our final September slots.
Whether your child is moving into Year 13 this September and wants a strong start to the year, or they are currently in Year 11 and would like support as they transition from GCSE to A-level study in Year 12, now is the ideal time to secure a tutor.
We currently have limited availability in:
๐น A-level Physics
๐ธ A-level Biology
๐น A-level Chemistry
๐ธ A-level Maths
๐น A-level Psychology
๐ธ A-level Business
๐น A-level Economics
๐ธ A-level English
๐น A-level Media Studies
Several of our tutors now have just one or two spaces remaining for September, and we expect the rest of the available slots to be filled very quickly.
If youโre considering A-level tuition for the new academic year, I would strongly recommend getting in touch sooner rather than later. Waiting until results day or September could mean missing out on your preferred tutor altogether.
๐ฉ Message me today to discuss availability and secure your childโs place before the remaining slots disappear.

Physics Paper 1 is done! ๐
Todayโs reactions were a real reminder that no two students experience an exam in the same way. Some walked out feeling confident, some relieved, some unsure, and some already analysing every question they can remember.
Wherever you fall on that spectrum, remember this:
The exam is over. You showed up. You gave it your best shot with the knowledge and preparation you had today.
๐๐งก
Thatโs something to be proud of ๐
Now is the time to focus on the next step, not the last one. Be kind to yourself, celebrate your progress, and remember that one paper does not define your abilities or your future.
Iโm incredibly proud of all my students and the effort theyโve put in to get to this point. Onwards and upwards! ๐

๐ Last week was half term and while many families were enjoying a well-earned break, we still had lessons running to support students preparing for exams. A huge thank you to those tutors who supported us ๐๐งก
An equally big thank you goes to our students. Despite the beautiful weather and plenty of distractions, attendance was fantastic with no no-shows at all. That level of commitment, determination and work ethic is impressive and wonโt be forgotten when it comes to writing references!
This week is a particularly busy exam week. Good luck to all students sitting A-level Physics and English exams today and to GCSE students preparing for Physics Paper 1 tomorrow. Youโll be great!
As a result, our admin availability will be more limited than usual over the coming days.

Timetables for June and September
Over the next two weeks we will be finalising timetables for June and September. Existing students currently have priority booking but that window will soon be closing as we begin allocating spaces to new enquiries.
If you would like to:
โ๏ธ Change your lesson time
โ๏ธ Increase lesson frequency
โ๏ธ Reserve your September slot
Please get in touch as soon as possible.
๐ Group Tuition Updates
Weโre planning several small-group options for the new academic year:
๐ฌ GCSE Combined Science
๐ฌ GCSE Triple Science
โ Year 10 Maths
Weโve already had interest in these groups and would love to hear from any families looking for high-quality, good-value small group tuition.
๐ A quick reminder to all current students, parents and tutors to check your timetables carefully. There have been a number of adjustments around exam schedules, and weโd like to ensure everything is accurate for billing and payments.
Finally, I have to admit Iโm quite grateful that the weather has cooled down a little! A bit of cooler weather is a blessing for those trying to concentrate.
Wishing everyone a productive week and the very best of luck in their exams.

๐ Happy half term to all our amazing students and tutors who have worked so hard over the last few weeks, preparing students for exams and end of year tests. Thank you to all of you. I really am so proud of everyone and I really do believe in what we do here at A+ Tutoring Services.
๐ค Iโm taking a break from lessons for the week to be Mum and to catch up on admin - itโs been so hard to keep up with all the extra lessons my own committed students have been taking!! ๐๐งก
โ๏ธ Please note - if you are waiting for a tutor, youโre on my list and Iโm getting through - thatโs my priority next week.
๐งโ๐ซ If youโve applied to work with us, interviews will take place after exams, in June. Please make sure your profile is complete to be considered. We are still looking for science and maths applicants (QTS only).
โผ๏ธSome of our tutorsโ timetables for June and September will be full by the start of next half term. We are taking bookings next week for:
๐นA Level Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Psychology, Business Studies, English, Media
๐ธGCSE Combined Science group
๐นGCSE Separate Science group
๐ธIGCSE Physics group
๐นA Level Physics group
โWeโve had some interest in a Year 9 maths group. Weโd love to hear from you if youโd like us to set one up for next year (foundation tier).
๐ฅ Tutors and students working over the holidays should all be set up correctly but let me know if not.
Have a lovely โ๏ธ bank holiday weekend ๐

A little bit different from my usual tutoring posts today! โฝ๐๐
As a lifelong Aston Villa supporter, I couldn't let last night's fantastic result pass without celebrating. Congratulations to the team on such an important win! ๐
Football means a lot to many of us at A+ Tutoring Services. Fun fact: my godfather was a professional footballer โฝ๏ธ One of our tutors is proudly supporting her son through his journey in a football academy too. Iโve even taught an England playerโs younger cousin! (Amazing at football and science, he was!) Seeing young people dedicate themselves to improving, staying disciplined and pursuing their ambitions is something we love to encourage - whether that's in sport or in education. ๐๐งก
Well done, Villaโฆ Up The Villa! ๐ฆ๐๐

๐FAQ๐ What makes a good tutor?
๐น Strong knowledge of the exam board
๐ธ Builds confidence, not just grades
๐น Explains complex ideas simply
๐ธ Tracks progress and adapts teaching
A great tutor doesnโt just teach - they connect.
That connection is what builds confidence, deepens understanding, and leads to real, lasting progress.

๐ Tutor Shout-Out Tuesday ๐
This week we are shining the spotlight on the wonderful Gagandeep โจ
Gagandeep is a qualified Science teacher and one of the newer members of our A+ Tutoring Services team - but she has already made such a positive impression with both students and families ๐
Gagandeep supports students with:
๐ 11 Plus (GL Assessment)
๐ Key Stage 3 English
โ๏ธ GCSE English
โ Maths up to Foundation GCSE level
What we are especially excited about is Gagandeepโs experience with 11 Plus preparation for the GL Assessment.
Her lessons are highly structured, supportive and engaging, with each session focusing on developing one key skill while still revisiting and strengthening the others along the way. She also provides a detailed review every 12 weeks and involves parents in the process, which families have found incredibly helpful ๐
We recently received some lovely feedback from one of Gagandeepโs families, who shared that they could hear Gagandeep and the student laughing together during the lesson from the next room ๐
For us, that says so much.
Building trust, confidence and genuine connection is such an important part of tutoring, especially for students who may initially struggle to open up or feel confident in learning situations. It has been so heartwarming to see how quickly Gagandeep has built those relationships with her students โจ
๐ฃ Gagandeep has opened slots for 11+ students over the summer!
We believe Year 4 is a fantastic time to begin preparing for the 11+, allowing students to build confidence gradually and without unnecessary pressure.
โ
Online one-to-one lessons
โ
Saturdays & Sundays available
โ
Evening sessions available after 6:30pm
โ
ยฃ50 per hour
โ
Experienced with GL Assessment preparation
Gagandeep also has some later evening availability for:
๐ GCSE English
๐ Key Stage 3 English
โ Foundation GCSE Maths
If you are looking for warm, structured and supportive tutoring - especially for 11+ preparation - we would absolutely love to hear from you ๐

Another Monday, another exam week ๐ซ
Last week was the first big GCSE exam week and our A-level students were busy too, including A-level Psychology on Friday, which weโre hoping went really well ๐ค
Weโve had so much lovely feedback come through after English Literature, Maths and Biology exams, with students feeling positive and confident about how things went. Some of you may have seen the messages and feedback we shared on our stories from parents and students - honestly, they really lifted our hearts and gave us such a boost going into another busy week. Thank you for taking the time to share those moments with us ๐๐งก
This week is another full-on exam week:
๐งช Chemistry this morning
๐ English Literature and Computer Science tomorrow
โ๏ธ Plus many more GCSE and A-level exams as we head towards half term, with schools breaking up on Friday.
I hope everyone managed to get a little rest this weekend despite the pressure of exam season. I had a lovely family get-together with relatives visiting from Canada and a big family birthday celebration, which was such a welcome chance to switch off from revision schedules and exam timetables for a little while.
Meanwhile, my daughter has been away on her Duke of Edinburgh expedition and came back very wet ๐ง๏ธ๐ which has been made slightly more complicated by our broken washing machine (2nd of the year!)! Weโve got a repair visit today, so fingers crossed that gets sorted - not the best timing ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
A few important reminders for families:
๐ฌ Our GCSE Science Group starting 18th June now has just 3 spaces remaining.
This is aimed at current Year 10 students wanting to get ahead before autumn mock exams. With three sciences and six exam papers to prepare for - plus holidays and half terms - there are actually fewer lessons available than people often realise before Autumn mocks arrive.
We consistently see that students who take the steady, sustained approach over time make far stronger progress than those trying to cram nearer the exams. Starting earlier also gives students time to build confidence and develop a strong relationship with their tutor.
๐
We are also now planning and finalising one-to-one timetables for June and September.
Science availability in particular is becoming very limited, so if youโd like to join the waiting list or enquire about tuition for Year 10, Year 12 or younger students, please do get in touch soon. Current students will receive first choice of times before remaining slots are allocated. So if you are hoping to swap your time, please contact your tutor this week.
Wishing all our students a calm, confident week ahead - youโve got this ๐ชโจ
