Quick answer
Nexus Academy offers one-to-one online A Level tutoring for home-educated private candidates from £18 per hour, starting with a free demo lesson. Tutors match AQA, Edexcel or OCR to the specification an approved centre will enter. Nexus Academy does not enter candidates, run practicals, or operate an exam centre. Sciences are harder to sit at home — confirm the centre before you book paid sessions.
Nexus Academy tutors home-educated A Level students the same way we tutor school sixth-formers: one-to-one, online, to the exact specification the centre will enter. The difference is logistics. You must find an approved centre willing to make a private-candidate A Level entry. We do not run that centre and we do not write the UCAS reference as a school.
If you are still mapping GCSEs, start with how to homeschool GCSE. A Level is a separate, linear qualification — usually two years — and science practicals are the constraint that catches families out.
Can a home-educated student sit A Levels as a private candidate?
Yes — if an approved centre will enter them. A Levels are not entered by the student directly with the exam board. Use the JCQ private-candidate search and ask specifically about A Level capacity, not only GCSE. Private candidate exam centres covers the process. Nexus Academy tutors the named board from £18/hr after a free demo. We do not hold a place at a centre.
Why A Level sciences are harder from home
Biology, Chemistry and Physics A Levels often include a practical endorsement that a centre must be able to host. Essay subjects and Maths are usually simpler private-candidate entries because they are assessed on written papers. Nexus Academy tutors the written papers online. We do not run school laboratories.
Confirm practical arrangements with the centre before you commit to a science A Level. Then book a free demo so teaching follows that specification — from £18/hr, no lock-in.

A Level home education — questions parents ask
Nexus Academy tutors home-educated A Level students who sit as private candidates at an approved centre — we do not make the entry. A Levels are linear, subject-specialist qualifications; the centre must be willing to enter that board and, for sciences, handle any practical endorsement. Confirm the centre first, then book a free Nexus Academy demo. Online tutoring starts from £18 per hour with no lock-in.
Nexus Academy offers one-to-one online A Level tutoring from £18 per hour, with some subjects from £20 per hour depending on specialism. All sessions include a personalised plan and monthly progress reports. Exam-centre fees are paid to the centre, not to us. A free demo lesson confirms the board and a realistic hour-count before any paid work. There is no lock-in contract.
Nexus Academy treats A Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics as harder to enter from home than essay subjects, because many specifications include a practical endorsement that a centre must be able to host. We tutor the written papers online from £18/hr after a free demo, but we do not run school laboratories or enter the candidate. Ask the centre about practicals before you commit to a science A Level.
Nexus Academy prepares private-candidate A Level students on the same specifications schools use — UK universities admit on the grades and subjects, not on whether the candidate was on a school roll. Offers still list exact grades. Confirm the board with the centre, then book a free demo so tutoring targets those papers from £18 per hour. We do not write UCAS references as a school.
