A Levels
Your Guide to A Levels
A Levels (Advanced Levels) are internationally recognised qualifications that prepare learners for university and higher study. They test not just knowledge but the ability to analyse, explain and apply ideas skills that matter far beyond exams.
At Orzala Academy we make A Levels approachable. We don’t just teach topics we teach how to think like an examiner, how to structure answers, and how to revise effectively so every student feels ready on the big day.
Why choose A Levels at Orzala Academy?
Choosing the right tutor makes a difference. Our A Level programme is built around clarity consistency and care. We pair students with subject specialists create realistic study plans and focus on exam skills so learners see steady progress not last-minute stress.
- Tailored lessons: We design learning paths based on a diagnostic test, your goals and current level.
- Exam-smart teaching: Past papers, examiner reports and time-management form a key part of every lesson.
- Supportive tutors: Friendly, professional teachers who explain until the concept clicks.
Students often tell us they feel more confident after just a few lessons not because we spoon feed answers but because we teach students how to find and explain the right answers themselves.
Our teaching approach
We begin with a short assessment and a friendly conversation about goals then build a realistic plan that fits your timetable.
We prioritise understanding. Lessons are short, focused and include worked examples so students learn to apply concepts not memorise them.
Regular past-paper practice timed questions and examiner style feedback help students learn the difference between a good answer and a top answer.
Full mock exams under quiet conditions followed by detailed reviews ensure confidence on exam day.

Physics
Theory, practical skills, and examiner style problem solving for mechanics, electricity, and modern physics.
Chemistry
Organic, inorganic and physical chemistry with practical technique support and structured answer writing.
Biology
From cellular biology to ecology practical write ups and long answer strategy included.
Economics
Micro & macro theory, models, data response skills and essay technique.
English Literature
Text analysis, comparative essays, and developing strong critical perspectives.
Business Studies
Case study practice, theories, and strategy for high scoring application answers.
Computer Science

Skills you'll develop
A Levels build more than knowledge. Our students leave with skills that universities and employers value:
- Critical thinking: analyze problems, weigh evidence and build clear arguments.
- Problem-solving: structured approaches to complex questions in STEM and social sciences.
- Exam technique: writing concise, high scoring answers under time pressure.
- Independent learning: planning, notes making and effective revision habits.
We coach students to reflect on progress and set small, achievable goals the kind of daily wins that build confidence and improve grades.
Assessment & exam boards
We prepare students for Cambridge (CIE), Edexcel (Pearson), AQA and other recognised boards. Lessons and assessments are tailored to your registered syllabus and exam format.
- Linear A Level single assessment at the end of the course (common for many boards).
- AS + A2 modular (some schools/boards still use this; we adapt accordingly).
- Coursework & Practicals supported for subjects that require it (e.g., Biology, Art).
Entry requirements & who should apply
A Levels suit students aiming for university admission or deep subject mastery. Typical entry expectations include good passes in related GCSE / O Level subjects. But don’t worry we accept motivated learners at different starting points and will create a plan that fills gaps.
- Strong GCSE / O Level passes in related subjects (usually grade A*/A–C depending on board and subject)
- Motivation to work consistently A Levels demand regular practice and consolidation
- Beginners accepted in some subjects with extra support and a longer study plan
Study tips & exam strategy
- Plan from day one: set weekly goals and stick to them small steps add up.
- Active revision: make short notes flashcards and test yourself instead of passive rereading.
- Past paper practice: practice under timed conditions and compare answers with mark schemes.
- Exam technique: structure answers label diagrams clearly and show your working.
- Mock reviews: treat mocks as learning review mistakes and revise weak spots.
