Study for your A Levels near your Home

If you live in or around London our college is a great option to study for your A Levels near your home. Westminster Tutors is situated in two London townhouses, five minutes’ walk from South Kensington underground station, which is on the Piccadilly, Circle and District lines, and all the mainline London stations are within easy reach due to our central location. Many of our students are able to commute from the Home Counties and further because we can offer individual timetables which make this feasible, for example starting lessons at 11am to avoid peak times, or timetabling all lessons on 2-3 days.

What others have to say about our private A Level retake courses

“I was a retake student at WT, I came in with BCC and finished with AAB. The teachers were incredible as I never thought it was possible for me to achieve an A in Economics. The 1 on 1 teaching is extremely beneficial and not only the teachers but all the staff are so attentive and supportive.

I had to go into clearing on results day as I missed my A grade in my third A level by one mark. I came into WT to the head of UCAS, who already had a plan for me for the next steps, which was not only helpful but extremely comforting. Although I didn’t get into my first choice, I still made it into King’s which is a top university for my course (Sport Science) which isn’t even a subject offered at WT but they did all the research to give me the best advice when applying to universities.

My Psychology and Economics teachers were honestly the best teachers I have ever had. They structured the teaching to what works for me and gave me constant feedback throughout the year, whilst also building a great relationship with both.

The flexible timetable was great for me and for anyone with a commute.

I would highly recommend Westminster Tutors for not only retake students but anyone looking to study for 6th form”

Lotte, A level retake student 2024

“We wanted to extend our sincere thanks for all your continuous support this year.

Your diligence and commitment has been critical for James and it has far exceeded our expectations. Going from a BCD to an A*A*A and being offered a place to study at UCL is an amazing achievement!

James has matured through this process and we couldn’t be prouder of his results.
Thank you again and we will be in touch soon for our two other boys!”

All you need to know about A Level Retakes

If you are worried you haven’t achieved the A level grades you hoped for, then don’t panic. There are several options available and one of them is retaking your A levels. Although the thought might seem unappealing at first, taking the time to improve your grades may well turn out to be a worthwhile and rewarding decision. Indeed, many of our retake students end up with grades even higher than they initially expected and go on to universities that they thought were beyond their reach. You can find out all you need to know about A level retakes on the advice pages here on our website.

Can you Retake A Levels?

The first question you have to ask yourself is “where can you retake A levels?” It may be possible to stay at your current school to resit the exams in the summer or repeat the year. Alternatively, you can retake your A levels as an external candidate at many exam centres. However, if you are looking for a fresh start and want to enrol on an A level retake course, there are a number of private sixth form colleges which offer these. Westminster Tutors has a wealth of experience and our unique teaching approach means our results generally outstrip our competitors by a long measure.

Tips on Retaking A Levels

Once you have decided on an A level retake course to enrol on, you should start planning how you will improve your grades. The first thing to consider is where you underperformed in your exams. It may be that you missed parts of your previous A level course or your understanding is weak in some areas, or it may be that you need help with academic writing or exam technique. Our expert teachers will help you identify where you need to make improvements so that you avoid making the same mistakes again. It is also possible to request back your scripts from the exam board to help you analyse your previous performance. Read the rest of this article for more top tips on retaking A levels.
