ABOUT
What Are A-Levels?
A-Levels are the most widely recognised university entrance qualification in the UK. Students typically study 3–4 subjects in depth over two years, with final examinations in each subject determining their grade. The right subject choices and strong grades are the keys to securing a university place.
Popular A-Level Subjects
Popular subjects include Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business, Psychology, English Literature, and History. STEM applicants typically combine Mathematics with Sciences, while Humanities applicants focus on essay-based subjects. ELT's specialist tutors deliver instruction tailored to the syllabus of each exam board — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and Cambridge International.
Exam Technique & Past Papers
A-Levels demand not just knowledge recall but essay writing, analytical thinking, and application skills. Our tutors, who are well versed in the mark schemes of each exam board, teach efficient answer-writing techniques, time management, and strategies to maximise marks. Systematic past-paper practice builds the confidence needed for peak performance on exam day.
A-Level Strategy for University Applications
University applications in the UK are submitted through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). It is essential to understand the A-Level subjects and grades required by target universities and courses (e.g. A*AA) and work backwards to create a study plan. ELT supports the entire UCAS process — from subject selection advice and improving Predicted Grades to Personal Statement preparation.
OUR APPROACH
ELT's A-Level Preparation
One-to-One Tutoring with Subject Specialists
A-Levels require a high degree of subject expertise. Each subject is taught by a specialist tutor in one-to-one sessions, following a systematic approach aligned with the relevant exam board syllabus for efficient grade improvement.
Mark Scheme-Based Answer Writing Guidance
We thoroughly analyse A-Level mark schemes and teach students how to write answers that earn marks. For essay-based subjects in particular, we systematically build skills in logical structure, use of evidence, and critical analysis.
Past Papers and Mock Exams for Exam Readiness
Past papers are practised by year and by topic to develop familiarity with question patterns and a feel for time allocation. Regular mock exams are conducted to maximise performance under exam conditions.
Strategic Support with UCAS Applications in Mind
We provide a cohesive support package that encompasses subject selection advice informed by university entry requirements, efforts to raise Predicted Grades, and assistance with Personal Statement writing — all with the UCAS application in view.
