Birmingham A-Level is a true multi-board market and the Ofsted-regulated independent and grammar cohorts dominate Russell Group offers. King Edward's School Birmingham (KES) sits AQA and OCR across the sciences and humanities; King Edward VI High School for Girls (KEHS) runs AQA plus Cambridge International in selected subjects; Bromsgrove School splits between A-Level (AQA) and the IB Diploma; Solihull School is AQA/Edexcel; Edgbaston High School blends AQA and CIE. The King Edward VI grammar foundation — Camp Hill Boys, Camp Hill Girls, Five Ways, Aston, Handsworth and Sutton Coldfield — feeds heavily into University of Birmingham, Aston and Oxbridge. KES and KEHS alone secure roughly seventy Oxbridge offers a year. Our Birmingham A-Level Mathematics tutors are matched by exact board and target university — UCAS in October, BMAT/LNAT/TMUA windows, Oxbridge interviews in December, then May/June linear finals.
Tell us what your child needs and we'll match a UK-qualified Mathematics specialist in Birmingham within 24 hours.
Exam boards we cover
The most widely used A-Level route across Birmingham's independents and King Edward VI grammars — AQA leads at KES, KEHS, Bromsgrove and Solihull, with OCR and Cambridge International in selected departments. Linear AS + A2 structure with strong international university recognition.
Used by some Birmingham British curriculum schools. Modular structure means students can resit individual units — useful for Birmingham students balancing UCAS and US applications.
Smaller uptake, but offered by some schools serving Birmingham families repatriating to the UK.
Syllabus coverage
Our A-Level Mathematics tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where Birmingham students most consistently lose marks.
Polynomials, partial fractions, modulus and transformations.
Chain, product and quotient rules; implicit and parametric differentiation.
Standard integrals, substitution, parts and definite integrals.
Identities, R-formulae and solving trig equations.
3D vectors, dot product and equations of lines and planes.
Kinematics, forces, moments, projectiles and connected particles.
Discrete and continuous distributions, normal distribution and hypothesis testing.
CIE 9709 and Edexcel 9MA0 mark-scheme drilling.

What we fix
How we fix it:The King Edward VI Schools Foundation (KESF) 11+ for Camp Hill, Five Ways, Aston, Handsworth and Sutton Coldfield is one of the most competitive grammar pipelines in the UK. We pre-empt the September sitting with structured Mathematics foundations across Year 5 and Year 6, mirroring the KESF question style and pace.
How we fix it:Mock Week at King Edward's School Birmingham, KEHS and Bromsgrove falls in January with grades feeding directly into UCAS predicteds. We back-plan Mathematics from September with paper-by-paper drills against AQA, OCR and CIE mark schemes so mocks confirm rather than reset the target grade.
How we fix it:Bromsgrove's IB DP students face IA first drafts in Year 12 Term 3 and Extended Essay deadlines through Year 13 Term 1. Our IB-trained Mathematics tutors scaffold research questions, data analysis and rubric-aligned writing without breaching IB academic honesty rules.
How we fix it:AQA dominates Birmingham A-Level, but KES uses OCR in several sciences, KEHS and Edgbaston run Cambridge International in selected subjects, Solihull blends Edexcel, and the King Edward grammars vary by department. We match the exact board, code and tier for Mathematics — never a generic specification.
How we fix it:Local UCAS applications to University of Birmingham (Russell Group), Aston University and Birmingham City University are dense, with KES, KEHS, Bromsgrove and the King Edward grammars all competing for the same medicine, engineering and economics places. We layer Mathematics preparation against personal-statement, BMAT/TMUA and interview cycles.
Why Combo Tutors
King Edward's School Birmingham and KEHS together secure around seventy Oxbridge offers per year — the highest concentration outside London and the Home Counties. Our Birmingham Mathematics tutors include former KES, KEHS and Bromsgrove pupils now reading at Oxbridge, with direct experience of the AQA, OCR and CIE papers these schools sit.
We prepare Year 5 and Year 6 Birmingham students for the King Edward VI Schools Foundation (KESF) 11+ feeding Camp Hill, Five Ways, Aston, Handsworth and Sutton Coldfield. Mathematics foundations are built to KESF pace and style, not a generic 11+ template.
Bromsgrove School runs both A-Level (AQA) and the IB Diploma — a dual track few Birmingham tutors cover. Our IB-trained Mathematics specialists handle HL/SL syllabus, IA and EE timelines, and switch seamlessly to AQA, OCR, CIE or Edexcel for siblings on the A-Level pathway.
Mrs Anita Patel
A-Level Mathematics · King Edward's School Birmingham · Year 13
Our daughter sat KES mocks in January and we were nervous about Mathematics. The Combo Tutors specialist drilled AQA and OCR past papers weekly — she came out with an A* prediction and an Oxford interview.
Mr Mohammed Iqbal
KESF 11+ · Mathematics foundations · King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys
We were preparing our son for the KESF 11+ for Camp Hill. Mathematics foundations were the gap. Six months in, he scored well clear of the cut-off and is now at Camp Hill Boys.
Mrs Sarah Mitchell
IB DP Mathematics HL · Bromsgrove School · Year 13
My son is at Bromsgrove on the IB DP and the Mathematics IA was overwhelming. His Combo Tutors HL tutor helped him structure the research question and data analysis to the rubric — final IA scored 7.
Tom B., KES Year 13
A-Level Mathematics · King Edward's School Birmingham · Cambridge offer
I was at KES targeting Cambridge for engineering and needed top marks across A-Level Mathematics plus TMUA. The OCR/AQA past-paper work and admissions prep got me there.
Sarah M.
Parent of IB Student · London
My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.
James P.
Parent of A-Level Student · Manchester
My son started tutoring for A-Level Physics about three months before his exams. His tutor was incredibly patient and broke down complex topics like electromagnetic induction into simple, intuitive steps. He ended up getting an A* which we genuinely didn't think was possible. I'd recommend Combo Tutors to any parent who wants a tutor that actually cares about your child's progress.
