Key Takeaways
- 67% achieved A*–A in 2025, a rate comparable to that of top UK private schools. Notably, students joined us with diverse levels of prior attainment, which demonstrates the impact of a Profs tutor.
- The proportion of students achieving A*–A increased by 16% between 2023 and 2025 as a result of our continued investment in the top 3% of tutors and the global expansion of our services.
- 91% achieved A*-B over the past three years (national average: 55%).
- Our students gained +2.0 grades on average with just 22 hours of tutoring in 2025.
Methodology: A-level Outcomes
Our student outcomes are based on responses to The Profs’ annual client feedback surveys (2023-2025). Tutors were asked to distribute the survey to their students, and responses were collated and analysed by The Profs. Results were then compared against the latest available national attainment data where applicable.
The figures shown are 3-year (2023–2025) estimated averages of A-Level grade distributions in England, constructed from official subject-level statistics published by the UK’s qualifications regulator and exam boards.
Subjects were first grouped into broad categories (e.g. Sciences, Mathematics, English, Humanities, Social Sciences, etc.). Because these categories are not officially published as aggregated datasets, results were calculated by combining individual subject data within each group.
All percentage values for grade thresholds (A*, A, B, C, D and above) were derived using cumulative grade distributions from subject-level results. Group-level figures were then calculated using weighted averages based on subject entry volumes, ensuring that larger subjects (e.g. Mathematics, Psychology and Biology) have proportionally greater influence on overall results.
Final values represent three-year averages (2023–2025) to smooth out year-to-year variation and provide a stable comparison of performance across subject groups.
These figures are intended for comparative and analytical purposes only and are not official published aggregates.
Undergraduate Results
The Profs remain the UK’s leading university tutoring provider, with students achieving First-Class results at nearly twice the national rate.
Undergraduate Results Summary (2023-2025)

Methodology: University Outcomes
Our student outcomes are based on responses to The Profs’ annual client feedback surveys (2023-2025). Tutors were asked to distribute the survey to their students, and responses were collated and analysed by The Profs. Results were then compared against the latest available national attainment data where applicable.
National benchmark figures are based on UK undergraduate honours degree classification data published by higher education sector bodies and university outcomes datasets.
Degree classifications are reported cumulatively. For example, “2:1 or above” includes students achieving either a First-Class or Upper Second-Class degree, while “2:2 or above” includes students achieving a First, 2:1 or Lower Second-Class degree.
Three-year averages (2023–2025) were used where appropriate to provide a stable comparison and minimise the impact of year-to-year variation.
These figures are intended for benchmarking and comparative purposes and do not represent official published aggregates.

Methodology: University Admissions Outcomes
Our student outcomes are based on responses to The Profs’ Client Feedback Survey 2025.
Tutors were asked to distribute the survey to their students, and responses were collated and analysed by The Profs. Results were then compared against the latest available national attainment data where applicable.
Further Context About Our Results
To help students and families interpret our results transparently, it is important to consider the following:
Survey-based data: Figures (such as grade improvements or grade outcomes) are based on internal client feedback surveys and have not been independently audited.
Self-Selection Bias: Families and students who proactively hire private tutors are often motivated, resourceful, and possess the financial means to invest in supplementary education.
Survivorship and Attrition Bias: Outcome metrics track only students who chose to complete a sustained tutoring program and respond to feedback surveys, so may exclude students who dropped out or did not see improvements and chose not to give feedback.
Admissions context: High success rates for Oxbridge and other competitive universities should be considered in the context of the students we support. We screen prospective students before providing support, meaning many of the candidates we work with already have strong academic profiles and prospects.
