Is an A-Level resit the right next step?
A disappointing A-Level result can affect a university offer, but it does not necessarily change the longer-term goal. The first step is working out whether a resit is the right route and, if it is, what needs to be different this time.
This is right if your child is...
- ✓ Retaking one or more A-Levels after missing their target grades.
- ✓ Reapplying to university and needs stronger results for their chosen course.
- ✓ Capable of achieving a higher grade but did not perform as expected the first time.
- ✓ Needs a more focused academic year rather than returning to a traditional sixth-form timetable.
- ✓ Wants one-to-one teaching built around the specific areas that affected their previous result.
- ✓ Needs support with both subject knowledge and exam technique before sitting the papers again.
This isn't the best fit if...
- You are looking for a large resit class or group revision course.
- Your child wants to repeat exactly the same approach without reviewing what went wrong.
- You only need occasional homework help rather than a structured resit programme.

We build the right resit programme
Your child is matched with subject-specialist tutors and the programme is shaped around their individual gaps. This might mean rebuilding parts of the course, concentrating heavily on exam technique or combining the two.

Teaching, preparation and exams are connected
Students can prepare through one-to-one teaching and sit their resit examinations at Lionheart’s London examination centre, keeping the academic programme and examination process in one place.
What an A-Level resit programme can cover
The aim is not to simply repeat the year. We look at what prevented the student from reaching the required grade and build the programme around fixing it.
Subject-specific tuition
One-to-one teaching in the A-Level subjects being retaken, matched to the student’s exam board and the content they need to revisit.
Gaps in knowledge
Tutors identify areas of the syllabus that were never fully understood or have been forgotten and address these before moving into heavier exam practice.
Exam technique
Support with question interpretation, timing, essay or extended-response structure, calculations and the specific demands of each subject.
Past-paper practice
Regular work with exam-board-specific papers helps students become more accurate, more efficient and more familiar with the standard required for their target grade.
Independent study
A resit year involves more independent work than most students are used to. Tutors can help structure revision between sessions so that the year remains focused and productive.
University goals
Where a resit is linked to a university application, the academic plan can be built with the required grades and next application cycle in mind.
Specialist SEND support
Academic ambition, adapted to how your child learns.
Many of our tutors are experienced with dyslexia, ADHD, autism and other learning differences, without lowering academic expectations.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you speak with the GCSE team.
Yes. A student may only need to retake the subject or subjects affecting their next step. We can build tuition around those specific A-Levels.
Yes. Many A-Level resit students are working towards a particular university course or entry requirement. The programme can be planned around the grades they need to achieve.
We work across a wide range of A-Level subjects and match students with specialist tutors according to the subject, exam board and level of support required.
Not necessarily. One of the first priorities is identifying what actually needs to improve. Some students need substantial content revision, while others need far more work on application and exam technique.
Yes. Students can prepare through Lionheart and sit their examinations at our London examination centre, depending on the subject and examination arrangements.
Yes. Resit tuition can include past papers, timing, mark schemes, essay structure, calculations and subject-specific exam technique.
