Westminster Tutors is a sixth form college in South Kensington. Teaching is one to one or in groups of two or three, and every student has an hour of individual mentoring each week.
The college has taught this way since 1934. It is not a small class. It is a timetable written for one person at a time.
Every lesson is taught individually or in a group of two or three students. A tutor knows within a fortnight exactly which topics you are avoiding, and there is nowhere in a room that small to quietly fall behind. Lessons move at the speed you actually work at, which usually means faster in some places and much slower in others.
Alongside teaching, every student meets their mentor for an hour each week. That hour covers the things that decide a year: how the revision is really going, which universities are realistic, what to do about the subject that is slipping, and whether the timetable needs rewriting. Parents get told what was said.
Because nothing is timetabled around a class, no combination is impossible. Students take over 25 A level subjects across all UK exam boards, in whatever pairing their university course needs, including combinations that a conventional option block would rule out.
Most students arrive by one of two routes. Both are taught the same way, by the same teachers, in the same building.
A full sixth form, from Year 12 through to exams, taught one to one and in small groups.

Read about A level retakes
I was a retake student at WT, I came in with BCC and finished with AAB. The teachers were incredible as I never thought it was possible for me to achieve an A in Economics. The 1 on 1 teaching is extremely beneficial and not only the teachers but all the staff are so attentive and supportive.
I joined Westminster Tutors last year with the goal of improving my A level grades, not only did I achieve that, but I also discovered my passion and decided what I wanted to study at university. It very quickly transformed from a daunting year of having to retake my A levels to a chance to improve and grow as a person.
I cannot thank you enough. Such a different story to when we met you last year. He is thrilled with his grades. I know that he has worked hard, but so have you and your wonderful team.
100% of parents say they would recommend the college, and around 95% of each A level cohort goes on to higher education.
