Online Tutors in Leeds for GCSE, A-Level and Entrance Exams
Combo Tutors provides online and private tutors for Leeds families. Leeds has no state grammar schools, so selective entry runs through independent schools that set their own exams, led by The Grammar School at Leeds in Alwoodley, formed in 2008 when Leeds Grammar School merged with Leeds Girls' High School. The nearest state grammar schools are outside the city, in Calderdale, Kirklees and North Yorkshire. We match a tutor to the exact school route or GCSE board and plan lessons around your child's dates.

What UK Families Say
Reviews from parents of students we tutor across the UK.
4.0/57 reviews on TrustpilotSarah M.
IB Mathematics · 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.
A-Level Physics · 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.
Priya K.
GCSE Science · Birmingham
We needed help with GCSE Science for my son who found chemistry particularly challenging. His tutor made the sessions engaging and relatable—using real-world examples that finally made reactions and bonding click for him. He improved by two grades and, more importantly, actually enjoys science now.
