Question 1

What is A-Level Accelerators?

Accepted Answer

We're a UK A-level tuition company that runs live, small-group online courses in Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics. Every session is built around exam questions and mark schemes rather than just re-teaching content, and it's led by Dr Waleed Ahmad, a doctor and former top-performing A-level student who has worked with over 1,000 students.

Question 2

Who teaches the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Your subjects are taught live by subject specialists who know the spec inside out, achieved top grades themselves and have helped hundreds of students do the same. Dr Waleed runs the final sessions himself on exam technique, active recall and study strategy, so students leave knowing how to turn content into actual marks.

Question 3

What makes you different from a normal tutor?

Accepted Answer

A typical tutor mostly re-explains content, which usually lifts a student to a B and then stalls. We focus on the things that actually move grades from B to A and A*: recall under pressure, applying knowledge to unfamiliar questions, and exam technique. That's why our sessions go straight into exam questions after covering the key content briefly.

Question 4

How do I know if it works?

Accepted Answer

Students rate their confidence in each topic before and after every session, and it climbs consistently across our 12-week programmes. You can also read real student feedback on our homepage. And because the first session is risk-free, you can judge the teaching yourself before committing.

Question 5

Which subjects can I take?

Accepted Answer

Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics. You can take one subject or several, and on the Summer Accelerator the more you take, the more you save.

Question 6

What is the difference between your programmes?

Accepted Answer

The Summer Accelerator is a six-week course over the summer that gets Year 12 students ahead on the high-yield Year 13 topics before term starts. The Subject Accelerators are live 12-week exam programmes that run through the year. The Study System teaches the exam technique and revision strategy that sit on top of subject knowledge. If you're not sure which fits, book a free call and we'll help you choose.

Question 7

How are the sessions structured?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are live and interactive, typically two hours each. We cover the key content briefly, then work through exam questions and mark schemes together, so students are practising the skill the exam actually tests rather than passively watching.

Question 8

What if I miss a session?

Accepted Answer

Every session is recorded, so you'll never fall behind if something comes up. You get access to the recordings to catch up or revise whenever you need.

Question 9

Which exam boards do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We teach to the three exam boards used most across A-levels: AQA, OCR and Edexcel.

Question 10

Do sessions for different subjects overlap?

Accepted Answer

No. On the Summer Accelerator, session times are scheduled so subjects never clash, so you can take all four and still attend every session live.

Question 11

How much do the courses cost?

Accepted Answer

Summer Accelerator pricing starts at £289 for one subject, with discounts for taking more (£539 for two, £739 for three, £849 for all four). That works out at roughly £9 to £12 per hour of live teaching, compared with an average of around £50 an hour for one-to-one tutoring. Exact pricing for each programme is shown on its page.

Question 12

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

You can pay securely by card through the checkout links on each course page. If you'd like to talk it through first, book a free call with Dr Waleed.

Question 13

Is there a guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Try your first session completely risk-free. If it's not right for you, request a full refund, no questions asked.

Question 14

Is this suitable if my child is already doing well?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Plenty of students join already performing well and want to protect and extend their lead. The teaching is built around exam technique and application, which is exactly what takes a student from an A to an A*. It works whether your child is closing a gap or pushing for the top.

Question 15

My child is struggling. Will they be able to keep up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The groups are small, sessions are interactive, and students can ask questions in real time. If your child has genuine gaps in understanding, the sessions rebuild them, and the recordings let them go back over anything they need. Book a free call if you'd like to talk through where they're at.

Question 16

How can I support my child during A-levels?

Accepted Answer

The most useful things are practical: help them protect their sleep, keep a calm home environment during exam season, and encourage a steady weekly routine rather than last-minute cramming. Our revision blog has detailed guides written for exactly this, and our free Revision Tracker builds them a personalised weekly plan.

Question 17

How do I get in touch?

Accepted Answer

Email Waleed@alevelaccelerators.com or book a free call. We're happy to answer any questions before you commit.

Question 18

Can this improve my predicted grades?

Accepted Answer

It's designed to. Predicted grades are set largely from the mocks and assessments in Year 12 and early Year 13, and those reward exam technique and application, which is exactly what we teach. Getting ahead early is the single biggest lever on your predictions.

Question 19

What is the best way to revise for A-levels?

Accepted Answer

Active recall (testing yourself from memory), spaced repetition (bringing topics back at growing intervals), and timed past papers. Re-reading and highlighting feel productive but barely move grades. Our blog covers this in depth, and the free Revision Tracker builds these methods into a weekly plan for you.

Question 20

Do you offer free resources?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our revision blog, the free Revision Tracker timetable tool, and a printable blurting template are all free and linked in the footer of every page. No email required for the template.
