Very big improvement given a short period of time with only a small time period of about 3 months my daughter in year 10 has gone from a level U to a level 4 in her maths grade with her tutor Jose. He is a very good maths teacher and has very easy ways of doing hard GCSE maths. What my daughter used to find immensely hard is now very easy. Jose is sadly not her tutor anymore but this was a very great experience and will be looking forward to using this company again for my daughter to get high grades and pass her GCSE’s thank you very much.

Excellent service, highly recommented Booked a block of Lessons leading up to my sons maths exam as maths was his weakest subject and he felt he wanted help. Pia (the tutor) was patient and professional and explained things in a way my son could easily understand. He looked forward to each lesson and felt the lessons gave him the confidence, knowledge and understanding he needed to face his maths GCSE exam. He thinks he did really well in his first exam and we are so pleased we invested in the lessons leading up to his GCSE’s. Can’t recommend Edumentors and Pia enough. Really professional service and well worth the money.

The tutoring times were really flexible and the tutor themselves (Izzy Mitchell) was amazing. The level of communication allowed between the student and tutor made it easy for my questions to be answered quickly. So thank you so much Edumentors and Izzy! Personally, I went from a 6 to a 9 in AQA English literature in just a few weeks so if you are thinking about it, give it a go!

Absolutely superb. Helped my son move from a predicted D in Maths to an actual A, in year. Highly recommend both Edumentors and specifically Apoorv as a tutor. It was easy to set-up, pay and manage. Any issues were solved quickly and without fuss.

Fantastic Flexible German Tutoring We had Imogen from Edumentor tutoring my daughter for GCSE’s. Imogen is a fantastic tutor and through the year prepared my daughter enabling her to get a 9 in German. Edumentor were extremely flexible and helpful in ensuring we could have the sessions when we needed them the most. I would throughly recommend using them for your GCSE tutoring.

Joe is a brilliant maths tutor who has really taken time to understand our son and where he most needs help. The school have notice a massive improvement with predicted grades increasing by two levels which had slipped massively due to Covid and lack of consistent teaching at school. Can’t recommend Joe enough, this is a brilliant service and I’m thrilled to be supporting this great company who are enabling students to earn while they study.

My son was struggling to grasp just the basics of Mandarin, this was one subject he did not want to talk about less than a year ago. Since his lessons with Meiyang via Edumentors have started, not only is he interested in getting better marks, but looks forward to the next Edumentors session! He is now acing every single test/exam, and occasionally I have overheard him speak ever so proudly of his Mandarin skills! I'm grateful, thank you, Edumentors.

Top Tutors From UK At Edumentors

Need help to find a tutor?

Our educational experts will help you find the perfect online tutor from top UK universities.

Best University Application Mentorship

We understand the importance you place on your child's education and future. The path to university is a pivotal journey, laden with choices and decisions that can seem a bit daunting. As you and your child navigate this crucial phase, you're not alone - Edumentors is here to assist.

At Edumentors, we offer bespoke guidance to help your child secure a place at their dream university in the UK. With our team of experienced mentors, all of whom have successfully gained admission into top-tier universities, we aim to simplify this process and provide tailored advice that matches your child's aspirations.

In the following sections, we'll discuss the university application process, the significance of personal statements and A-Level grades, and most importantly, why choosing Edumentors could be the best step towards achieving your child's academic dreams.

We appreciate your trust and partnership in this important journey. Let's embark on this together, helping your child step confidently into their future.

Understanding the Application Process

The application process for UK universities primarily takes place through the UCAS. Here are the key steps involved:

Registration: Your child needs to register on the UCAS Hub, providing accurate personal information and indicating an interest in undergraduate level study.

Completing Personal Details: All mandatory questions must be answered, including queries about residency status, ethnic origin, national identity, occupational background, and personal circumstances.

Education History: All qualifications from secondary education onwards, including those still awaiting results, must be entered.

Employment History: If your child has had any paid jobs, up to five of them can be listed. Unpaid or voluntary work should be mentioned in the personal statement.

Course Choices: Your child can select up to five courses with no preference order. Universities won't know where else your child has applied until after they reply to any offers.

Personal Statement: This is a chance for your child to express their motivation, passion, and suitability for the chosen course(s).

Reference: A written recommendation from a teacher, adviser or professional who knows your child academically is required.

Payment and Submission: Once the application is complete, a fee is required to submit it to UCAS. The application fee for 2023 entry is £22.50 for a single choice, or £27 for more than one choice.

Remember, your child can only apply once in a cycle, and they should not apply more than once or submit a new application if they are holding a deferred place from a previous cycle.

Importance of A-Level Grades

A-Level grades play a crucial role in university applications in the UK. They are a key indicator of a student's academic ability and can heavily influence admissions decisions. Here's why they're important:

Meeting Entry Requirements: Most universities have specific A-Level grade requirements for each course. These grades are the minimum a student needs to be considered for a place.

Competitiveness: For popular or highly competitive courses, such as Medicine or Law at top universities, high A-Level grades can set a student apart from other applicants.

Conditional Offers: Universities often make offers based on predicted A-Level grades. This means a student will be offered a place on the condition that they achieve certain grades in their A-Levels.

Foundation Programmes: For students who do not meet the A-Level grade requirements for their desired course, some universities offer foundation programmes. These are one-year courses designed to prepare students for the main degree programme.

Remember, while A-Level grades are important, they are not the only factor universities consider. The personal statement, reference, and evidence of a passion for the subject area are also key components of a successful application. Edumentors' mentors can provide tailored advice on achieving and utilising strong A-Level grades as part of a balanced, compelling university application.
