Online tutors in London
Heights International Academy teaches London students live online, one-to-one or in small groups, for GCSE, A Level, IGCSE and IB. Classes are scheduled in UK time (GMT/BST), after school and at weekends, fees are shown in GBP, and the first class is free.
London's secondary students attend a wide mix of state, grammar, independent and international schools, so between them they sit almost every board and qualification in the UK, from AQA GCSEs to the IB Diploma. Getting to an in-person tutor can mean a long Tube or bus journey, and fitting it around after-school clubs is hard. Online tutoring lets students study at home with a specialist in their exact specification. It also suits international families who move in and out of London and want one tutor throughout.

Where do London students sit their exams?
Exam centres and registration
School students sit exams at their school. Private candidates in London need to find a centre that accepts external entries, which can include some schools, colleges and private exam centres; fees and deadlines vary, so compare several and book early.
School calendar
London's 32 boroughs and many academy trusts set their own term dates, so half-terms can differ between neighbouring schools; check your school's calendar or the council lookup on GOV.UK. Year 11 and Year 13 mock exams usually take place between November and February.
Questions from London families
Do you offer online GCSE tutoring for London students?
Yes, we offer online GCSE tutoring for London students in maths, sciences, English and other core subjects, across AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR. Tell us the board and tier your child is entered for, and we will match a tutor who knows that specification. Lessons take place after school or at weekends, in UK time.
How much does a tutor in London cost?
Tutor costs in London vary with the subject, level, tutor experience and whether lessons are in person or online. Our own fees are listed in GBP on our pricing page and apply to live online lessons, so you avoid travel time across the city. A Level and IB lessons are priced at a higher tier than GCSE.
Is an online tutor a good alternative to a home tutor in London?
Yes, an online tutor is a good alternative for most secondary students in London, offering a wider choice of specialists without fitting a tutor's travel into your evening. A home tutor provides in-person supervision for children who need it. We teach online only and do not visit homes; parents are welcome to sit in.
Can you tutor IB Diploma students in London?
Yes, we tutor IB Diploma students at London schools in Maths, sciences, Economics and English, and help with internal assessments and extended essay planning. Tutors follow the current IB subject guides and assessment criteria. Tell us your subjects and levels, SL or HL, and we will match a tutor with IB experience.
When should my child start A Level tutoring in London?
Most students benefit from starting A Level tutoring early in Year 12 if they find the jump from GCSE hard, or by the autumn of Year 13 to prepare for mocks and finals. Starting before problems build up gives time to fix gaps properly. Tell us your subjects and board, and we will suggest a plan.
