For parents of Year 12 & Year 13 students wondering what's really stopping an A or A*

Your child moves up at least one full grade in A-Level Maths, right up to an A or A*, in 12 weeks, without piling on more revision hours

Miss the target we set together, and we refund the final term. In writing.

Most tutors just do more of what the school's already doing. We find the exact marks your child is losing on the mark scheme and close that gap.

For STEM, engineering, medicine and most Russell Group universities, an A* in A-Level Maths is the one thing admissions teams won't move on.

Homework marked weekly by an Edexcel examiner Luke Savin and his team of QTS-qualified maths teachers run your child's weekly lessons Your child's exam-board-specific struggles and target grade, mapped out
The problem

Your child is putting in the hours. It still isn't turning into a higher grade.

They go to their lessons. They watch YouTube videos. They do the past papers. And you're still hoping it clicks.

Most students don't lose marks because they don't understand the topic. They lose them on timing, on multi-step questions under pressure, and on the traps examiners set every year.

None of that is your child's fault. A teacher with 30 students in the room hasn't got time to teach it one on one, and an hourly tutor is usually working through whatever your child brings that week, not what's actually costing them the grade.

Fix the actual gap and it isn't just a better grade on results day. It's the STEM, engineering or medicine offer conditions met, no scrambling through Clearing, and a head start on university itself, because their maths and exam technique are already a level above everyone else's.

How it works

Four steps your child runs through every week, inside the A-Level Excellence Programme

We find the gap

A personalised assessment and the Excellence Tracker measure exactly what's holding your child back.

We build a targeted practice plan

No time spent re-teaching what they already know. Practice is targeted at the specific topics actually costing the grade.

We break the hard topics down

Mechanics, pure maths, the parts that usually get memorised rather than understood.

We teach exam technique too

How to structure an answer, how to pick up every mark on offer, how to manage time under pressure.

Why this actually works

It isn't a talent problem. It's a targeting problem.

We tier every past paper question, on every exam board, by how many students at each grade actually get it right. Some are questions a D or E student can already answer. Some sit in C and B territory. And some are the ones only A and A* students get right.

🥉
D / E questionsAlready secure, not where the time goes
🥈
C / B questionsAlready scoring full marks here, every time
🥇
A / A* questionsWhere almost all the practice time goes, the ones that actually separate the grade

Your child's Excellence Tracker uses that to show us exactly which of their skills are weak, and points them straight at the harder questions on those specific skills, on their specific exam board. Not a general revision pack everyone else gets. The exact questions that separate a B from an A, for the topics your child hasn't nailed yet.

In plain terms: revising harder on the wrong questions won't move the grade. Revising the right ones will.

Who's teaching your child
Luke Savin

Luke Savin

I've spent 10 years teaching A-Level Maths in UK classrooms. I've got a first-class degree in mathematics, a PGDE in Secondary Maths Education, and a Masters in Education Practice with a specialism in Maths. I was awarded a Mathematics Teacher Training scholarship for my teaching and leadership in the subject. Across that career, I've taught over 1,000 A-Level Maths students.

I left the classroom because I kept seeing the same thing. Bright students falling short. They were capable. School gave them the content and left them to work out the plan on their own. That's why I built this to run entirely online: the same structure and the same tracking, whether your child lives round the corner from me or three hours away.

I don't teach every lesson myself, and I want to be upfront about that. Arthur, Mark and Kaihan teach alongside me, so between the four of us that's over 50 years in UK maths classrooms — and it means your child gets a consistent, exam-board-specific lesson every week, not whoever happens to be free. Arthur's an Edexcel examiner, so when we mark your child's work, we're marking it exactly the way the exam board will, not just checking if the answer's right. Mark ran a school maths department for years before he joined us, so he's seen most of the ways a bright student gets stuck long before it shows up on a report.

Some of our other tutors, Soham, Liaba and Affan, mark homework and run the weekly drop-in sessions, so nothing your child submits sits unchecked for long. Affan's one of them too. He came through this programme himself, grade C to A*, so when he tells your child it's possible, he's not guessing.

The guarantee

We back this two ways

A grade A or A* in Maths is one of the few results that still holds real weight on a STEM, engineering or medicine offer, which is exactly why we're willing to guarantee it, not just teach toward it.

You can leave any time, for any reason, and get back what you haven't used. No contract, no minimum term. If it isn't working for your family, you tell us and we refund the balance.

And if your child is working at around a grade C and does the work with us, we guarantee at least a grade A by the end of the programme, or we refund the final teaching term. All we ask is that your child shows up and does the work. The full detail on what that means is in the footer.

Starting further back? The same guarantee applies at every level; if your child isn't at a grade C yet, we guarantee a jump of two full grades instead, on the same terms.

See exactly where your child stands, and whether we can get them there.

I don't take every family who books, only the students I'm confident we can get there.

My calendar is right below. Pick whatever time works for you and your child.

The A/A* Grade Guarantee applies to students who complete 12 consecutive weeks of the programme, attend at least 80% of lessons, complete 100% of set homework, and keep their Excellence Tracker up to date each week, across Edexcel, OCR, AQA and WJEC A-Level Maths. If your child starts below a grade C, the guarantee is a two-grade improvement rather than a guaranteed A/A*. Guarantee claims must be made within 14 days of the final result, with refunds processed within 7 working days of verification. Withdrawing from the programme early invalidates the guarantee. Full terms are confirmed on your call.
