A-Levels

Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths

For the above subjects, we offer a weekly two-hour booster programme at our centres for students to fill in gaps in knowledge alongside a programme of A-level study at school or college. The programme has been developed to ensure your child develops a sound grasp of A-level concepts, focusing on the most challenging topics, skills and modules in preparation for their final exams.

As an alternative to studying in a school or college, we also offer a two-year intensive A-level course for each of the above subjects, which runs for five hours per week at our centre.

Finally, we offer the above subjects as an online one-to-one booster session.

All our programmes are delivered by highly experienced subject specialists with a proven track record in achieving the top grades.
