So, you know you need A-Level tuition, but you have looked online, and immediately thought, 'how do I know which tutor is the best?' Well, look no further. We have compiled a list of the best tuition businesses in the industry, with important facts about each, to help you make a decision.


Avalon Education


Avalon Education is a renowned tuition business (featured in Tatler and the Daily Mail) as well as a university admissions consultancy. This means that their qualified and vetted tutors are used to helping students get the grades they need for universities like Oxford and Cambridge, and so they have the experience needed to help you get the top grades. Their tutors can also work with homeschool students or serve as residential tutors, and they have done so for many families around the world.


As every student's progress is overseen by Avalon Education's Director, who picks the tutors for each student personally following an in-depth consultation, and then remains in regular contact with the family, they can ensure consistent, holistic support covering all of the student's academic needs. Furthermore, they offer a £5 trial session, so you can try out their tuition before committing!


Pricing: £105/hour

Rating: 5/5 - With the best tutors in the industry, a unique focus on high achievement, and a £5 trial session, you can't go wrong!



Superprof


Superprof is an online platform for finding tutors. They have everything from A-Level tutors, to guitar teachers, to dance instructors. They allow tutors to set their own rates, and then Superprof charges a monthly fee of £39 for students to use the platform. Some like their model as they can find the tutors themselves, and maybe even get one for cheap, but it does mean they lack the vetting and guarantee of service that you would find on other platforms.


Pricing: £39/month, plus the tutor's hourly rate

Rating: 4.5/5 - There is a huge amount of choice, and you might find a great tutor for cheap, but you have to vet the tutor yourself, and pay a monthly fee!


Kensington & Chelsea Tutors


KC Tutors are based in South West London, with experience helping students throughout school and university age. They offer a consultation, match you with your tutor, and offer continuous check-ins, resulting in many happy clients.


Pricing: £90/hour

Rating: 4.3/5 - They're a reliable option if you're based in South West London, but the local focus makes it hard for them to support students elsewhere in the country or abroad.


Owl Tutors


Owl Tutors are a tuition agency that allows you to choose your tutor through their platform, so you can read each profile and request the tutor that you think is a good fit. This affords you more autonomy over the process, but lacks the strategic oversight some parents may require.


Pricing: £90-£120/hour

Rating: 4.1/5 - They allow you to choose tutors yourself via their online platform, with many great tutors to choose from, but they don't have anyone crafting the overarching strategy for the student.


Dukes Tutoring


The tutoring arm of the giant Dukes Education, Dukes Tutoring offer reliable A-Level tutoring in the major subjects. They also offer tuition for other age groups, from early years onwards, and are integrated with the rest of Dukes Education for any other educational needs.


Pricing: £110/hour

Rating: 4.1/5 - They are a great, established brand, but the vastness of Dukes Education's offering (offering tuition; running nurseries, schools, and colleges; providing university application support; doing industry experiences; etc.) means that it is hard to get the bespoke, personal service offered by other tutors
