NimaI went from 43% in first year to receiving a masters offer at the LSE! Having almost failed my first year I decided to get tutoring from The Profs in my second year. Thanks to the brilliant quality of the tutors I managed to score a 1st in my second year and receive an offer for the LSE Masters in Management. A big thank you to The Profs.

A Level Politics Tutors: Frequently Asked Questions
How do The Profs select and vet A-Level Politics tutors?
The Profs runs one of the most rigorous tutor selection processes for private tutoring in the UK - only 3% of applicants are accepted. Every A-Level Politics tutor is assessed to ensure they can deliver subject-specific politics tuition, exam preparation and university-level depth where required, whether as one-to-one private tuition or support for learners preparing for AQA, Edexcel or OCR specifications.

Our A-Level Politics tutors combine academic rigour and practical insight.

- Step-by-step development of examination skills: timing, planning answers and effective use of evidence

How does A-Level Politics tuition prepare students for university, undergraduate study and dissertation-level work?
A-Level Politics tuition is structured to do more than secure exam grades - it prepares students for undergraduate study, admissions and independent research, including dissertation-level work.
- Development of academic writing, essay planning and critical thinking suitable for university-level work

Why do families continue tuition with The Profs beyond A-Level Politics and into university?
Continuity and specialist progression are the main reasons. Over 90% of students rebook the following term when ongoing support is needed. This continuity helps students transition smoothly from A-Level exam focus to university-level study and dissertation work.

- Targeted feedback on essay structure, use of evidence and critical analysis

Can The Profs help with coursework, essay plans, dissertation and academic writing for Politics?
Yes. Our tutors provide guidance on planning and structuring essays, developing argumentation, referencing and academic writing conventions appropriate for A-Level and university-level work. Tutors advise— they do not complete assessed work on a student’s behalf. They also support dissertation planning and academic writing for undergraduate learners preparing for university.
Which exam boards and awarding bodies do your A-Level Politics tutors cover?
Our tutors are experienced with the main UK awarding bodies and their specifications, enabling targeted exam preparation and politics tuition tailored to each syllabus.
- AQA A-Level Politics
- Edexcel (Pearson) A-Level Politics
- OCR A-Level Politics
- WJEC/EDUQAS where applicable
Can tutors support students aiming for Oxbridge or Russell Group politics courses?
Yes. We have tutors who specialise in admissions and interview preparation for Oxbridge, Russell Group and other top institutions. Support includes advanced subject tutorials, essay development, mock interviews and UCAS personal-statement review.
What minimum commitment to tuition and revision do you recommend for A-Level Politics improvement?
Most improvements are seen with consistent tuition over a term. Typical guidance is:
- Minimum placement: 5 total hours
- Typical first session: 2 hours
- Recommended frequency: weekly or twice-weekly depending on the target grade and timescale
- Internal data: sustained input (e.g. 21 hours) often produces material grade shifts; 40 hours supports multi-grade improvement
How do you ensure online lessons are interactive and suited to politics revision?
We use a suite of integrated tools for real-time interaction and revision.
- BitPaper interactive whiteboard for essay mapping and source analysis
- Screen share for past-paper walkthroughs and model answer review
- Session recordings so learners can revisit explanations and use them for revision
- Tutors provide tailored reading lists, essay plans and study skills guidance to support independent learning
Is there support for students studying History and Politics, Politics and Economics or combining Politics with other subjects?
Yes. Many tutors have cross-disciplinary expertise and can coordinate tuition across related subjects to improve overall performance and university readiness. This is particularly valuable for students studying History and Politics, Politics and Economics, and Philosophy alongside Politics.
How do I book and what happens after I confirm a tutor?
Booking is managed through our placement process. Once you approve a tutor match and pay the placement fee (£70), sessions are scheduled and the tutor will share a lesson plan, resources and objectives for the first block of tuition. Payments are processed securely and you only pay for booked hours. This applies across GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate tuition.
