The cost of the wrong tutor is not just the hourly rate.

It is a lost term, a vague plan, and a student who still cannot answer a six-mark question under exam conditions. Biology and Chemistry are all we teach, so we know exactly where A Level students lose marks and how long it takes to fix.

Meet your tutor before you commit.

The first step is deliberately low pressure. Book a free consultation, tell us where your child is struggling, and meet the tutor before any paid lessons begin.

4

Meet your tutor for free

A free introductory session so you can check the fit before paying for anything.

Not an agency. One tutor, start to finish.

Agencies pass you between profiles and hand your child whoever is free that week. At HS Tutors you deal with me directly. I teach every lesson, mark every piece of work, and know exactly where your child stood in September and where they stand now.

Enhanced DBS checked, and happy to show it. Certificate and references available on request before the first lesson, online or in person.
Two subjects only: A Level Biology and Chemistry. I teach the AQA, OCR and Edexcel specifications in depth rather than covering ten subjects at surface level.
The same tutor every week, never a substitute. One plan built around your child's weak topics, adjusted after every mock and every past paper we mark.

This is not the cheapest way to find a tutor.

It is a specialist teaching two subjects to a small number of students each week. The price is on the page before you book a call, and it does not change once we start.

A Level Biology & Chemistry

Online, one to one £40/hr

Live on video with a shared whiteboard. Notes and marked work sent after every lesson.

In person, one to one £50/hr

At your home, locally in [your town and surrounding area]. Covers travel, so there is no separate charge.

Small group £30/hr each

Two to Ten students at a similar level, working through the same topic. The lowest cost per student.

You are paying for the planning, not just the hour.

No A Level exam rewards knowledge alone. Able students lose marks on command words, extended six-markers, required practicals and calculation layout rather than on the science itself.

Between lessons I mark past paper questions against the real mark scheme, track which topics keep costing marks, and plan the next session around them. That preparation is included in the hourly rate.

Book your free consultation.

A free 30 minute call, parent to tutor. I will ask where your child is now, what grade they are aiming for and when their exams fall, then tell you honestly what I think the gap is and how long it takes to close.

You speak to the tutor, not a sales team. I am the person who would teach your child.
You leave with a clear next step, including which topics to target first, whether or not you book lessons with me.
No pressure and no lock-in. If I am not the right fit, I will say so on the call.

Students are welcome on the call too. It often helps to hear directly from them which topics feel worst. Afternoon,Evening and weekend slots are available.

Frequently asked questions

The things parents usually want to know before booking. If yours is not here, ask on the call.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. It is a 30 minute call with me, at no cost and with no obligation to book lessons. I will ask about your child's current grade, target grade and exam dates, then give you my honest view of what needs work first.

If I do not think tutoring is what your child needs right now, I will say so.

How much do lessons cost?

Online one to one is £35 per hour. In person, at your home locally, is £50 per hour and includes travel. Small group lessons work out cheaper per student.

You pay week to week. There is no package to buy upfront and no minimum number of lessons.

Which subjects and levels do you teach?

AS and A Level Biology and Chemistry only, across AQA, OCR and Edexcel. Teaching two subjects rather than ten is deliberate: it means I know the specifications, the mark schemes and the common traps in detail.

Are you DBS checked?

Yes, I hold an enhanced DBS check and I am happy to show the certificate before the first lesson, whether we work online or in person.

For in-person lessons a parent or guardian is welcome to be in the house throughout, and for online lessons you are welcome to sit in on the first session.

Is online tutoring as effective as in person?

For A Level Biology and Chemistry, yes. We use a shared whiteboard so your child sees every diagram, mechanism and calculation being built up, and they keep the notes afterwards.

Some students focus better with someone in the room, which is why in person is offered locally. We can talk through which suits your child on the call.

What happens in a typical lesson?

We start with the topic your child is currently struggling with, work through the theory until they can explain it back, then apply it to real past paper questions under exam conditions.

Between lessons I mark the questions they attempt against the official mark scheme, so the next session targets whatever cost them marks.

How often should we have lessons, and can we cancel?

Most students do one hour a week per subject, increasing in the run-up to mocks and finals. We can adjust as exams get closer.

There is no contract. If you need to stop, pause over a holiday or change your slot, just let me know in advance.

How do we stay in touch between lessons?

By email to start with, and I share a WhatsApp number after your consultation so you can reach me directly about timings, homework and progress.

Book a free 30 minute consultation. If tutoring is the right next step for your child, I will tell you exactly what I would work on first. If it is not, I will tell you that too.
