A Levels are normally studied over two years, however at Summit our specialised staff will help you to make a difference to your grades in a much shorter time.
At Summit, we are keen to work with students who want to achieve A* – C grades at A level. The subjects currently available at A Level are Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Chemistry
A Level Mathematics
We understand that the leap from GCSE to A Level can be daunting and our goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible Edexcel, OCR and AQA specifications are taught at Summit.
If you are taking AS or A Level Mathematics for the first time, in addition to attending classes at Summit Saturday School, we expect you to be attending day classes at school or college, as these specifications are extensive and require many hours teaching time.
The Classes: Pure Mathematics, Further Pure Mathematics, MEI
Pure Mathematics:
C1 C2 S1
C3 C4 S2
Further Pure Mathematics – equivalent to 2 A Levels (for high achieving students only)
C1 C2 C3 M1 M2
FP1 FP2 FP3 M3 M4 M5
Mathematics
Our AS and A2 classes are small, intimate and taught by qualified, specialist mathematicians. Entry to the AS mathematics course is dependent on having achieved a high grade in GCSE Mathematics. For students who arere-sitting A Level Mathematics, entry to the course is based on an assessment to determine your ability to complete the course successfully. All students, whether preparing for AS or A2 mathematics must demonstrate a strong commitment to undertake independent work.
Hard work is required at all levels and a love for the subject is a great help. If you are also attending school, the tuition you receive here will propel you to higher levels of achievement.
You can be certain that your teachers will always go the ‘extra’ mile to help you achieve your goal.
We are perfectly aware that the top universities are now seeking A and A* grades in a number of subjects including Mathematics and our commitment to you is to prepare you to this standard. We will need your full cooperation, commitment to your studies, regular attendance, punctuality, completion of homework, appropriate note taking during lessons and full participation in class. Your teachers will expect you to bring to the lesson any difficulties you have experienced in doing your homework or specific tasks you have found challenging.

Testimonials
My daughter started at Summit on 21st March 2009. Her confidence in her academic ability at the time of joining was low. The teachers at Summit Saturday School have helped her raise her confidence by supporting her in every possible way. At Summit the teachers not only guide students in their academic subjects, they importantly tap into each child’s individual potential and bring out the greatness of every child. My daughter has learnt how to use knowledge in creative ways, which she takes from Summit and applies to her everyday learning. It is not just a Saturday school; the teachers are always at the end of the line to support the pupils.
