Advanced Tuition is a collective of high-achieving undergraduates, postgraduates, working professionals and qualified teachers — people with a strong academic record of their own.
They come from medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, economics and education, and almost all of them were Advanced Tuition students first.

We specialise in the core subjects so students grow confident across all of them
At GCSE we concentrate deliberately on English, Maths and Science, because these are the subjects that build transferable academic skill.
English
Language and literature, building comprehension, written communication and the ability to construct an argument from evidence.
Mathematics
Logical thinking, problem-solving and working accurately under pressure — the reasoning that underpins every quantitative subject.
Science
Biology, chemistry and physics, developing analysis, interpretation of information and the application of knowledge to unfamiliar problems.
Strength in English, Maths and Science travels
Students who become genuinely strong in these three subjects develop analysis, logic, comprehension, communication, problem-solving, independent study and exam technique.
In our experience those skills transfer. Students who build them at GCSE consistently find they carry into History, Geography, Psychology, Economics, Business Studies and the rest of their timetable. We specialise in the core so that our students can perform across their whole academic programme — not because we think the other subjects matter less.
An individual approach, from the first session
-
Personalised assessment
Every student starts with an assessment of where they actually are, so lessons target the genuine gaps rather than repeating what is already secure.
-
Small-group teaching
GCSE classes of up to five students, and small A-Level classes, mean every student is seen and heard rather than lost in a lecture-style room.
-
Regular progress reporting
Parents hear how their child is doing on a regular basis, not just at exam time.
-
Teachers who are developed too
The same individual approach applies to our tutors. They are observed, supported and developed so the standard in every classroom is maintained.
Our standards do not stop at recruitment
We do not hire a tutor and leave them to it. Advanced Tuition runs an internal teaching quality-assurance process that continues for as long as a tutor teaches here.
New tutors are mentored. Lessons are observed. Feedback is gathered from students and from teachers, and used to identify where a tutor can improve. That feeds into appraisals, development plans where they are needed, and into who we recruit next.
The process runs: recruit, check, train, observe, support, gather feedback, develop. It is led by Fuad Moalim — himself a former Advanced Tuition student, who studied Chemistry at Queen Mary University of London, returned to teach GCSE and then A-Level classes, and now works on tutor development alongside a professional career in quality assurance.
Seven steps, repeated for every tutor

An academic community, not a few hours of tuition
Since 2014 we have built something that keeps returning to itself.

- Profession
- Return as tutor or mentor
Hundreds of our graduates have gone on through university and into careers across healthcare, science, engineering, finance and beyond. Some come back as tutors and mentors, some speak at our Careers Days, and many stay connected — which is why our students are learning from people who have recently walked the same path.
Advanced Tuition made a real difference to how I approached my A-Levels. The small classes meant I could actually ask questions without feeling behind, and my teachers knew exactly where I was struggling.
As a parent, what stood out was how approachable the teachers were — nothing felt stiff or corporate. My daughter looked forward to her sessions, and her grades reflected it by the end of the year.
I came in nervous about my GCSEs and left feeling properly prepared. The teachers explained things at my pace and the small groups made it easy to keep up.
Two ways to study with us
Our GCSE weekend programme is a complete English, Maths and Science package. The weekday programme is flexible, one subject at a time. A-Level is taught in specialist four-hour weekend sessions.
