Anaya began her A-Levels feeling overwhelmed by the breadth of the Economics specification. She understood topics individually, but couldn't connect them, making essays feel fragmented and limiting her to B/C grades. Across two years of tailored support, she first built strong conceptual foundations in Year 12, then refined her exam technique and essay writing in Year 13.
The result: an A* in A-Level Economics, a two-grade improvement built on sustained, personalised tutoring that addressed both understanding and application.
Anaya came to More Than Just Tuition in her first year of A Levels feeling overwhelmed by parts of the content and unsure how different topics linked together across the specification. She understood individual areas in isolation but struggled to see the bigger picture, which made essays and exam questions feel fragmented and score B/C grades.
Together, Anaya and her tutor decided that an intensive programme of two hours of tutoring per week would help embed the core foundations she needed to move successfully into her second year. These sessions focused on strengthening her conceptual understanding, clarifying difficult topics, and building connections across the specification so her knowledge felt cohesive rather than fragmented.
In her second year of A Levels, Anaya returned for further support with a clear focus on refining exam technique and developing high-level essay practice. With her foundations secure, sessions shifted toward structuring arguments, strengthening analysis, and mastering exam requirements to help her achieve her desired grades. Anaya achieved an A* grade in A level economics.
Anaya was able to achieve a A* in Economics at A Level - 2 grades of improvement.
Asha is an amazing tutor- she's very knowledgeable and so patient. she's one of those tutors where you definitely don't feel embarrassed about asking questions and she's great at explaining all the concepts that I found difficult. she also marked my essays in detail and gave me helpful feedback to improve. thanks asha!
Hi, I'm Asha Wadley, Founder & CEO of More Than Just Tuition
I started More Than Just Tuition because students deserve more than just being taught the syllabus. After five years and over 2000 hours of teaching across the EMEA region, with every 2024 student achieving A grades or above, I realised my approach needed to reach more students.
Having achieved AAA* at A-Level (including Economics) and currently studying for a First Class degree in Economics and Development at the University of Manchester, I understand what it takes to excel academically.
But I also know education isn't just about exams & academics, it's about preparing for adulthood. By 22, I'd worked at a global bank, a cryptocurrency startup, an NGO in Uganda, and the University of Manchester itself. Now, I use that experience to help students progress beyond learning towards life.
