Students Improving Their Engineering Grades

C → A
"The circuit analysis questions in Paper 1 were killing me. My tutor walked through op-amp circuits step by step until they made complete sense."
R

Ryan S.

A Level Engineering, AQA, Summer 2024

B → A*
"My engineering project report was solid on the making but weak on evaluation. My tutor showed me exactly how to structure evidence-based evaluation and my NEA mark jumped."
N

Nina P.

A Level Engineering, AQA, Summer 2024

D → C
"The maths in Paper 2 - moments, stress-strain, thermodynamics - was really holding me back. Getting a tutor who knew the engineering context made all the difference."
