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.
To ensure meaningful analysis and sufficient sample sizes, individual A-Level subjects were grouped into broader academic categories. For example, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Econometrics were analysed within Mathematics & Quantitative Sciences, while English Literature, English Language and Philosophy were grouped within English & Humanities. This approach allows for more robust comparisons across subject areas while still reflecting subject-specific performance.

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.
