BEFORE YOU BOOK

Understanding A Levels

Two years. Three subjects. The qualification that opens universities.

AS Level

The first year of A Level study. For AQA, OCR and Edexcel, AS is a separate one-year qualification and does not count towards the full A Level. For Cambridge International, AS marks can carry forward into the full A Level.

Year 12, ages 16 to 17 · Can be taken as a standalone qualification

Full A Level

The full A Level result. University offers are almost always based on final A Level grades. The jump from Year 12 to Year 13 is significant. Students who are not well supported in Year 12 often struggle in the second year.

Year 13, ages 17 to 18 · Final exams cover the full two-year course and determine university entry

Cambridge AS and A Level

The CIE version of A Levels, taught in international schools across the world. Same core qualification, different exam board and mark scheme. Widely accepted by UK and global universities.

Grades 11 and 12 · CIE board, international schools · Graded A* to E

A Level grade scale and what universities actually want.

A Level grading scale from A* to E, showing typical offers of AAA for competitive courses and A*AA or above for Oxford, Cambridge and Medicine
A Levels are graded A* to E, with U for ungraded. A* is awarded to students above the A* grade boundary on the full A Level, which the exam board sets each year from raw marks. AAA is the standard offer for competitive courses. A*AA or A*A*A is required for Oxford, Cambridge, and top medicine programmes. Uplift Academy students have achieved A* results in Mathematics, Sciences, and English.

A LEVEL EXAM COMPONENTS

The parts of A Level that decide the grade.

A Level assessment varies by subject and board. Here are the three components that most subjects include, and how Uplift Academy prepares students for each one.

Written Papers

The core of every A Level. Paper 1 and Paper 2 test different parts of the syllabus. Paper 3 in some subjects tests synoptic links across all topics. Most marks come from these papers.

Your tutor drills past papers by paper type. They focus on mark scheme language and on the structured question formats that carry the most marks.

Practical and Planning

AQA, OCR and Edexcel science A Levels include a separately reported practical endorsement, plus practical questions in the written papers. Cambridge International assesses practical skills in Paper 3 (AS) and Paper 5 (planning and analysis).

Your tutor prepares students for the specific practical assessment format on their board. For CIE Paper 5, we train the planning response format specifically.

Non-Examined Assessment

Some A Level subjects include coursework or a non-examined component. English Literature and English Language both have NEA components. Biology and Chemistry have required practicals logged across the year.

Your tutor supports coursework planning and drafting. For science practicals, they help students understand what the endorsement requires and how to record it correctly.

THE UPLIFT EDGE

What makes us different?

The A Level promise we stand behind.

Tutors who currently teach at international schools.

Our A Level tutors are active teachers. They attend board CPD sessions. They follow each board’s latest specification updates, examiner reports and grade boundary changes.

One tutor. Through to results day.

Your child keeps the same tutor, full stop. The tutor who taught them in October knows exactly where they are in December. No new faces before mock exams. No strangers before final papers. The same person, all the way through.

Board-specific. Not a generalist.

Your child’s AQA Chemistry tutor teaches AQA Chemistry. They know the required practicals for this board. They know the specific command words AQA uses. We do not assign whoever is available. We assign the specialist your child needs.

Indian teachers. Personal investment. Every time zone.

Our tutors bring the care that Indian parents recognise. The 9pm WhatsApp answer. The monthly report that tells you more than a grade. The tutor who knows your child’s weakest topic without being reminded. Families in London, Dubai, and Singapore feel this difference within weeks.

SUBJECT SPECIALISTS

Every A Level subject. One specialist tutor.

Every student is matched to a tutor who teaches only their subject on their exact exam board. Never a generalist.

Why Uplift Academy for A Levels

A Level tutoring by teachers who know the mark scheme.

Uplift Academy provides 1-on-1 A Level tutoring for students from Grade 6 through to Year 13. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Arti Agarwal, we are the trusted A Level tutoring partner for Indian diaspora families in London, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, the US, Australia, and across 15 countries. Our A Level tutors currently teach at international schools. They set internal assessments. They attend board training. They know the AQA mark scheme is not the same as the OCR mark scheme. They know what a grade boundary shift looks like. When your child’s tutor reviews a practice paper, they mark it the way an examiner would.
Most A Level students who come to us are not struggling because they do not know the content. They are struggling because they do not know how to show the examiner what they know. A Level marking is precise. Command words matter. Structure matters. Our tutors close that gap first. We serve Indian families who expect the best. Our tutors answer a WhatsApp the night before a paper. They write a monthly Progress Report. They treat your child’s results as personally important. That is what separates a tutor who teaches from a tutor who cares.
Founded by Dr. Arti Agarwal, MBBS Gold Medallist, King George’s Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, and Government of India (Ministry of HRD) awardee for teaching excellence. An A Level Biology or Chemistry tutor with a medical degree brings subject knowledge that a subject graduate alone cannot match.
