Results Day 2025 - Feedback from Students

The Thursday in August when the A level results are published is my favourite morning of the year.

I get nervous and emotional and usually well-up at least once.

Students work far harder now than ever and think so carefully about how they revise and what they choose to do.

It is heartening to see them succeed in a subject that they found challenging

Here are some of the comments from students and parents.

A level Results Day 2025

Tom is a thoroughly lovely chap who has gone above and beyond supporting my 3 daughters with their Biology A levels. All 3 got A grades in their biology A levels exams having previously been getting Ds and Cs. My eldest is now in her final year of medicine, my middle daughter going into her final year of a maths degree and youngest heading off to a Russel group uni. 

Nothing was too much effort for Tom. He is a dedicated, talented and highly experienced teacher who makes learning enjoyable and importantly memorable! My only wish was that he had taught them at school too. Thank-you Tom!

The lessons were very useful for me because it was always a mixture of content and questions to allow me to get used to the exam technique but also apply the knowledge I had learnt with Tom during our sessions. The lesson were planned out very well and I found the PowerPoint style really useful and informative. Tom also helped me solidify some basic key concepts as well as the more tricky specification points.  - Dayyan CIE One to ones “I got into Cardiff to study medicine”

Tom is very efficient at conveying complicated topics in biology allowing him to cover large topics not only in the tutorials but also when reviewing the recorded lessons  - it allows for a comprehensive and quick review of the topic, Which is a massive aid for revision. He was a tremendous help for my daughter and son, helping them both achieve A grades. - OCR A One to ones

Thank you so much for all your help! Verity got an A* so is very happy! - AQA one to one 

“My daughter really benefited from Tom’s patient tuition, as she became able to approach the maths content for Biology with a high level of confidence she just didn’t have before. She got 25 out of 26 marks available for maths-related questions, which was fantastic!” VH - AQA A* 

Group Lesson Feedback

I first found Tom's services soon after my son received an E grade in his year 12 mock and was facing a retake a few weeks later. Tom was able to quickly clarify some issues that helped my son improve enough to continue with his course as the school does not allow entry into year 13 below a certain grade.

Over the next year Tom then helped guide my son to a much improved high B grade which has played a major role in helping him be accepted to his 1st choice University.

Thanks Tom for all your help from those first worrying weeks after the initial mock result through to the joy of receiving a much higher grade in the actual A Level exam.

If your child is working hard at Biology but struggling to get the grades then I highly recommend that you contact Tom. His clear and considered approach really helps clarify the material in this very difficult subject area. - AQAY13 group lessons

Tom has an Outstanding A-level Biology tutoring! Patient, engaging, and highly personalised—even in group classes, it feels one-to-one. Recorded sessions, all questions answered, and every student involved. Our daughter jumped a grade and achieved an A and a placement at a medicine university.  Y13 OCR A Group lessons

Hi Tom, thank you for all your support throughout this year. As a resit student it’s been more challenging due to lack of help from the school, however, your sessions have made me able to grasp biology much more easily. I’m happy to say I achieved an A* and am going off to study Medicine at Bristol. Thank you so much for all your support! Br - Y12 &Y13 OCR A group lessons

This was amazing and helpful for my exams. It was great to have an outside perspective and hearing topics explained in different ways is really useful. He answered all of your questions and the lessons are really interactive meaning they aren't boring and you can get feedback almost instantly - Violet Y12 AQA Group lessons

These lessons really helped clear up areas I was confused on in school and definitely helped me towards achieving my grade in biology!  Liberty Y13 OCR Group lesson

Tom’s lessons helped me improve massively in Biology, and I’m so happy with my final grade. I’ve been accepted into my firm-choice university! We did lots of exam question practice, and his teaching style made a huge difference, using an interactive whiteboard so he could see everything as I wrote and give instant feedback. Definitely recommend!!  Nuha - AQA group lessons

Throughout my Year 13 experience Tom significantly improved not only my knowledge and understanding of the content but also my motivation to work for the grade I wanted! He was super helpful and understanding throughout the year and without these sessions I couldn't have gotten into university to do Biomedical Sciences. Therefore I would like to thank Tom for all he has done to help me and I highly recommend this tutoring!  Summer Y13 OCR OCR Group lessons

Post exams comments

Thank you once more for all you've done, you've been a true game-changer and been able to draw out L**** potential. What ever his results, for me the most important is that he has reconnected with the academic world, has realised he is perfectly capable and has found a passion in his subjects. So happy for him. - AQA one to one

Hi Tom, as you probably know O**** sat his last biology paper today, and overall he has been really pleased with the way they’ve gone, so regardless of any results, I just wanted to say a big thank you for helping him cement his knowledge, improve his skills and give him the belief that he was capable of getting through these exams! I’m sure the results will be great, but to me giving him that confidence to believe in himself and his ability is more important! So thank you! 🤩 CIE one to one

Hi Tom!  Exam went well today! Thank you for all your help these past two years I don’t think these exams would have gone so smoothly without you!!
