Online A-Level tutoring subscription, UK
Apex is a monthly subscription, not a stack of one-off lessons. You get a set number of live 1-on-1 or small-group sessions every week in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Economics, taught by specialists in that subject, plus round-the-clock access to recorded lessons, past-paper walkthroughs and revision packs written for your exam board.
Pick the subject you need and read exactly how we teach it, which modules we cover and how the past-paper work is structured.
Pure, mechanics, statistics and the Further Maths options: complex numbers, matrices, differential equations, further mechanics. Heavy focus on method marks, working out where students lose marks on long questions, and timed paper practice under exam conditions.
Content teaching plus the parts students routinely drop marks on: required practicals, data and error analysis, six-mark extended responses and the calculation-heavy topics in Physics and Chemistry. Each tutor teaches one science, not all three.
Micro and macro, with the essay technique that decides the grade: evaluation, chains of reasoning, diagram accuracy and using real-world UK and global context. Data-response practice built from recent papers on your board.

No lengthy onboarding. Most students book the call, get matched within a couple of days and are in their first live session the same week.
We ask what you are studying, which exam board, current and target grades, and where the marks are actually going. Bring a recent paper or mock if you have one. No card details are taken at this stage.
We match you to a specialist in that exact subject and set the weekly pace: two, four or unlimited sessions depending on how far you are from the target and how long you have.
Sessions run live online, 1-on-1 or in a small group, at the same slots each week so revision has a rhythm. Between sessions you work through the recorded library and set past papers.
Parents get regular written reports: topics covered, attendance, past-paper scores and how the predicted grade is tracking against the target. No guessing about whether it is working.
The live hours are where the teaching happens, but most of a student's revision happens alone at 9pm on a Tuesday. Every plan includes unlimited access to the same library, whether you are on Essentials or Exam Sprint.

If your school uses a board or option module not listed, tell us on the diagnostic call and we will confirm honestly whether we cover it.
We used to see the same pattern with hourly tutoring: a burst of lessons before a mock, then nothing for six weeks, then panic in April. A subscription fixes the rhythm and the budget at the same time.
| Booking hourly | Apex subscription | |
|---|---|---|
| Consistency | Sessions get skipped in quiet weeks and crammed before mocks. | Fixed weekly slots for the whole term, so progress compounds. |
| Revision planning | Each lesson tends to cover whatever is most urgent that week. | A timetable planned back from the exam date, with topics sequenced. |
| Cost | Varies month to month, spikes exactly when you can least predict it. | One fixed monthly price. £129, £219 or £349, nothing added on. |
| Between sessions | Usually nothing until the next paid hour. | Recorded lessons, past-paper walkthroughs and board-specific packs, unlimited. |
| Parent visibility | Whatever the student reports back. | Written progress reports with attendance and predicted grade tracking. |
| Tutor knowledge of the student | Often restarts with a new tutor each time availability changes. | Same specialist week to week, building on what they already know. |
You are paying for this, so you should not have to work out from the outside whether it is helping. Reports go to the parent or guardian on the account, in writing, on a regular schedule.
What was covered in each session, what was set as independent work, and whether it came back done. Written in plain language, not a tick-box template.
Past-paper and topic-test scores logged over time and mapped against grade boundaries for the relevant board, so you can see the direction of travel rather than one good mock.
Every scheduled session is logged as attended, rescheduled or missed. If a student starts quietly dropping sessions, you hear about it from us that week.
Say so and we reassign, no awkward conversation required and no charge for the switch. Personality fit matters at A-Level, and sometimes the first match is not it.

The diagnostic call is with a person who teaches the subject, not a salesperson. Ask about the reports, the tutor's background, how the timetable is built, whatever you need. You can also call the office on 020 7946 0958.
Book the free callWe would rather leave this space honest than fill it with quotes nobody said. Apex is a results-focused service, so this section will only ever carry verified feedback and outcomes we can stand behind.
We are collecting written permission from current families before publishing any quotes here. Once a student and their parent have both signed off, their words go up unedited, with the subject and exam board attached.
Verified before-and-after examples, taken from logged past-paper scores at the start of a subscription and the final result, will be published here after the next results day. No rounded-up averages and no numbers we cannot evidence.
All three include the recorded lesson library, past-paper walkthroughs, exam-board revision packs and progress reports. The difference is how many live sessions you get each week.
£129/month
2 live sessions per week
Best for students who are broadly on track and want steady support through the year.
£219/month
4 live sessions per week
Best for closing a real gap between current and target grade, or covering two subjects.
£349/month
Unlimited sessions, final 8 weeks
Built for the eight weeks before exams, when the work is all papers and technique.
No hourly add-ons and no materials fee. The diagnostic call is free whether you subscribe or not.
Full pricing and plan detailsIf something is not answered here, ask on the diagnostic call or email hello@apexalevels.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Read exam tips and subject articles on the blogBoth are available on every plan. Live 1-on-1 sessions suit students with specific gaps or who need to move at their own pace. Small groups work well for topic teaching and past-paper walkthroughs, and some students focus better with a couple of peers in the room. We recommend a mix on the diagnostic call and you can change it later.
Yes, and there is no charge for it. Tell us the match is not right and we reassign you to another specialist in the same subject. You do not need to justify the request. Fit matters at A-Level, and we would rather move a student early than watch a term go to waste.
Plans are monthly. You cancel from your account or by emailing us, and the subscription runs to the end of the month you have already paid for. There is no minimum term and no exit fee. You can also pause and restart, which some families do over the summer.
Most students do. The diagnostic call establishes exactly where they are in the specification and what has already been taught at school, and the tutor builds the plan from that point rather than starting from the beginning of the course. Joining in January or February is completely normal.
AQA, Edexcel and OCR across all six subjects, with separate revision packs, specification checklists and past-paper walkthroughs for each. Tell us your board and option modules on the call and we will confirm coverage before you sign up rather than after.
We go through the subject, exam board, current grade and target grade, and look at a recent paper or mock if you have one to hand. From that we recommend a plan, a weekly session count and a tutor. No card details are taken and there is no obligation to sign up afterwards.
Twenty minutes with someone who teaches the subject. We work out where the marks are going, recommend a plan and a tutor, and you decide afterwards. No card details, no pressure.
