Resitting my A Levels

I have decided to retake my a levels in:

Edexcel English Literature
OCR History
AQA Psychology (I haven’t studied this subject but im willing to put the work in as my third a level which was French, I deeply disliked it and failed)

I just need some help on how I can get started and who to contact because I don’t want to commute to a college/sixth form. Something private like a 1-1 Tutor or a private institution which is online would be better. So if anyone has any tips on how to get started, their experience and how to get in touch with specific people and places (and even the whole UCAS process) would be helpful.

Hi there,

as you have mentioned you do not want to commute, I recommend a remote tutor if that suits your fancy. There are plenty of websites offering this service!

Regarding the UCAS process, have a browse of their website and you can even call UCAS as their lines I believe are still open due to clearing. If you are interested in specific uni's, I would suggest calling them and asking them about their course, grades etc and any queries you have - lines should be open as it is clearing! :smile:

Kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)

Hi, I'm an English tutor (in my final year of studying English at Oxford). I've tutored online for years now, my rate is £30 an hour. Let me know if you're interested!
