The best tutor is the person who just did it

ILE was started by Tahan Islam, a medical student at Cambridge who sat Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry at A-Level and came away with four A*s and a Distinction in the Advanced Extension Award. He didn't just pass these subjects. He understood them the way examiners reward.

The insight behind ILE is simple: the most effective tutors are not always the most experienced teachers. They're the people who recently lived through the same exams and still remember exactly where students lose marks. Every ILE tutor is a current student at Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE or another leading university, selected because they excelled in the subject they now teach.

A mark scheme tells you what the answer was. Someone who sat the paper two years ago can tell you how to find it under pressure.

A team selected one exam result at a time

Every ILE tutor is personally vetted. They hold offers from or are currently studying at Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE or other leading universities, and they teach only the subjects in which they themselves excelled at A-Level.

Who we work with

Wherever you're starting from

If you're behind
Grade recovery
Predicted a C or below with exams approaching? We work backwards from your exam date, fill the gaps methodically, and build the specific technique your board rewards.
If you're close
A to A*
Performing well but leaving marks on the table? The difference between an A and an A* is usually technique, not knowledge. We pinpoint where those marks are going and lock them in.
If you're aiming higher
Competitive entry
Targeting Medicine, Oxbridge or another course demanding AAA or above? We've been through those applications and can prepare you for the grades and the admissions process.

A structured plan, not just weekly sessions

Every ILE student follows the same three-stage approach, personalised to their subject, exam board and timeline.

STAGE 01
Diagnostic session
We go through your recent papers together, review mark schemes and map every gap. No assumptions. By the end, you'll know exactly where marks are going.
STAGE 02
Your plan
A session-by-session curriculum built around your specific gaps, your exam board and the time you have left. High-value areas come first.
STAGE 03
Weekly sessions
Regular 1-1 sessions with timed practice and detailed feedback. Progress is tracked after every session, and the plan adapts until the grade is consistent.

Grade changes our students talk about

C → A* · Edexcel Maths
"I was predicted a C going into Year 13 and honestly thought Maths was beyond me at this level. Within a few weeks of sessions I could see exactly what I'd been doing wrong. I sat the exam confident and came out with an A*."
Aisha R.Year 13 · Now at UCL
A → A* · Further Maths + STEP
"I'd been getting As in Further Maths but STEP felt like a completely different language. ILE changed how I approach problem-solving. I received an offer from Cambridge and I genuinely don't think I'd have got there otherwise."
Marcus T.Year 13 · Cambridge Mathematics offer
B → A* · AQA Chemistry
"My daughter had been stuck at a B for months. After three months with ILE the change was remarkable. Her confidence, her mark-scheme awareness, everything improved. She came out with an A*."
Parent of Priya S.Year 12 · AQA Chemistry
D → A · OCR Biology
"I could never structure an answer properly and kept losing marks on the long questions. ILE taught me a framework for every command word, and within six weeks my predicted grade jumped two grades."
Jordan K.Year 13 · Now at Bristol Medicine
C → A · Edexcel Maths
"The diagnostic session alone was worth it. My tutor showed me I'd been making the same two errors in calculus for months without realising. We corrected them in one session and my mock grades jumped immediately."
Callum W.Year 12 · Now at Manchester
B → A* · Edexcel Biology
"What I appreciated most was that my tutor had sat the exact same exams recently. They knew the examiner's expectations from experience, not from reading a mark scheme. That's a different level of insight."
Saoirse M.Year 13 · Exeter Medicine offer
