WELCOME TO WESTMINSTER TUTORS – ONE OF THE BEST INDEPENDENT SIXTH FORM COLLEGES IN LONDON

Westminster Tutors is one of the oldest and best independent sixth form colleges in London. Established in 1934, our culture of scholastic excellence is deeply embedded and we continue to set the standard for other colleges to follow.

We achieve exceptional results because of our unique approach. Students are either taught one-to-one or in exactly matched groups of 2-3 students. Lessons are therefore precisely tuned to give each student the right amount of stretch so that significant academic progress is made. Due to our approach we are also totally flexible, with adaptable timetables and courses tailored to each student’s needs. 

Another unique aspect of our offering is that each student receives an hourly mentoring session every week.  Mentoring addresses academic needs such as study skills as well as pastoral support and hands-on help with UCAS applications. This has a a significant impact on progress and wellbeing, and enables all of our students to achieve their fullest potential.

One year can make the world of difference in our small and beautiful college.  Places are limited so if you want to get back on track contact us now to arrange an appointment.

PRIVATE SIXTH FORM COLLEGE

Westminster Tutors is one of the top independent sixth form colleges in London.  Our reputation for academic excellence spans over 90 years and we are the ideal place for students who would like to study A levels with highly qualified teachers and exceptional personal support. In our 2024 ISI inspection we were rated Exceeding Expectations and Excellent in all categories.  We are also very well reviewed in the Good Schools Guide.

PRIVATE COLLEGE A LEVELS

Our A level courses are tailor-made to suit each student.  We offer many A level subjects and all exam boards, with any combination of subjects being possible. A level courses are taught one-to-one or in groups of two to three, meaning every student receives personal attention.  The atmosphere is welcoming and informal with lots of student activities, all in a vibrant central London location.  See our A level courses

A LEVEL RETAKES

Westminster Tutors offers flexible A level retake courses which are individually designed.  This means our A level retakers have a seamless transition continuing on the same board and units: this allows them to focus on the areas they need most help with. This approach has led to fantastic results and every year the large majority of our retake students take up places at Russell Group universities.   Find out about A level retakes

UCAS & CAREERS

We are ambitious for all of our students. Preparing our students for the world of work and providing the best personal guidance on careers and university applications is a central aspect of the support we provide. Expert and impartial advice is offered on a one-to-one basis throughout the sixth form. Find out about how we go the extra mile with our careers and UCAS support

Why do we believe Westminster Tutors is one of the best independent colleges in London?

We achieve exceptional results because of our unique approach.  We do what we have always done, and we do it well.  We only enrol sixth form students and focus on excellence in this field.  Our approach of one-to-one or very small group teaching combined with weekly mentoring and superb UCAS support delivers results year after year.

To a certain extent we think our A level results and university destinations speak for themselves but don’t just take our word for it.  100% of our parents say they would recommend us and many of our enrolments are from word of mouth.  Our TrustPilot reviews are also resoundingly positive.

Most of all, we think you should come and see for yourselves.  Our Principal meets with all prospective students and parents and will explain what we are able to offer and how we can help you.  Your first visit to the college will give a taste of the personal attention we offer, so contact us now to arrange an appointment.

Private Sixth Form College in the Heart of London

Westminster Tutors is a private sixth form college in the heart of London. We can be found on Old Brompton Road, which is only a few minutes’ walk from South Kensington underground station on the Circle, District and Piccadilly lines. Our location in central London means we are just around the corner from the V&A, Science and Natural History Museums as well as the Royal College of Music, Institut Français, Royal Geographic Institute and many other prestigious organisations.

Our Courses

At Westminster Tutors, we teach all of our courses either one-to-one or in very small groups. A typical sixth form A level student would study three subjects over the course of two years, although we often admit ambitious students who are studying a fourth subject or an EPQ. Students also join us to retake their A levels over one year or six months, going on to achieve results which lead to exceptional university destinations.

In addition to our courses for enrolled students at the college, we offer Oxbridge preparation, private tuition and Easter revision for students at other schools who wish to enhance their grades and UCAS applications with help from our expert teachers.

Students’ Results

Our A level students’ results reflect the hard work they put into their studies, the expertise of our teachers and the positive impact of our unique mentoring system. In 2024, 43% of all A level grades were A*-A and 80% were A*-B. We take particular pride in these results as we are a non-selective college, and our students make exceptional progress from their starting points. Students on our A level retake courses perform equally well, obtaining excellent results and taking up places at top universities.

SUBJECTS OFFERED

We offer over 25 A level subjects and teach all exam boards. While we have our own chosen exam boards, our unique one-to-one approach enables us to offer a seamless transition for students who join us in Year 13, continuing them on the same board and units, and our A level retake students cover exactly what they need.   Discover all the A level courses we offer.
