A-Level tutoring at Cookie Tutoring is one-to-one and online, with tutors who took the same A-Levels recently enough to remember the papers. We look for tutors at top universities, and the admissions tests and interviews that follow A-Levels are subjects here in their own right, so the same person can often carry both. Rates start at £30 an hour and the first 15 minutes is free.

We also build cookie, the revision app, and every student and every tutor here gets it at no extra cost. This is what it has for A-Level to use between lessons.
The jump from GCSE is less about harder content than about what is being assessed. A-Level questions rarely tell you which technique to use, marks go to reasoning rather than to the answer, and a whole paper can hang on connecting two topics that were taught months apart.
A tutor who has recently sat the same papers knows which of those connections examiners actually test, which is not the same as knowing the syllabus.
For a competitive course, predicted grades, an admissions test and an interview are one continuous process, and the reasoning they all reward is the same reasoning. Working with a tutor who has been through it means the A-Level work and the application work reinforce each other rather than competing for the same evenings.
Admissions tests and university interviews are subjects here in their own right, so a tutor can list one alongside their A-Level subjects and the same person can carry both. Their profile says which.
We look for tutors at top universities (Oxford, Cambridge and the Russell Group in the UK, and their equivalents elsewhere), weighed by a person rather than applied as a rule. They tell us what they studied and where, what grades they got and in what year, and a university email address is the quickest way to confirm it, so we send a code to one where they still have it. Everyone is interviewed and everyone completes an identity check. An Enhanced DBS check has to be on file before their profile is visible to anybody.
Where somebody studied is a fact about them, not an affiliation: Cookie Tutoring is not endorsed by, affiliated with or connected to any university.
Tutors set their own rate with a floor of £30 an hour. A-Level tutoring typically sits a little above GCSE, and specialist subjects such as Further Maths usually more again. Every profile shows its rate before you get in touch.
Many can, and their profiles say so. Admissions tests such as the UCAT, LNAT, TMUA, ESAT and STEP are listed as subjects in their own right, as is university interview preparation.
No, though the work changes. In Year 13 a tutor is usually working on exam technique, past papers and the specific topics that have not stuck, rather than reteaching the course.
Yes. Further Maths is listed separately from Maths so you can find someone who genuinely teaches it rather than someone willing to try.
Both are covered. National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher are listed as their own levels, as is the IB Diploma at Higher and Standard.
Yes, at any point, and you do not have to explain why. Nothing is prepaid beyond the lessons you have already booked.
We are selective about who teaches here: we look for tutors at top universities, everybody is interviewed by us, and nobody is listed without a criminal record check on file. Lessons run in the browser with live video and a shared whiteboard.Rates start at £30 an hour, the first 15 minutes with any tutor is free, and every student gets cookie's study software at no extra cost.
