Get an A* for CIE A Levels and get into your dream university
Hi I’m Takudzwa – I help students like you change their grades from E/D to As and A*s so they can get into their dream university. I’ll teach you the same strategies that I used to get straight A*s for my A Levels to help you do the same.
Welcome to SMIYL
We help CIE A Level students in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics go from struggling to excelling — fast.
Whether you’re stuck at an E or pushing for that final jump to an A*, we’ve been in your shoes before and we thrived. We’re here to help you do the same.
We offer:
- 1-on-1 tutoring for focused, personalized help
- Tutors who’ve actually written and aced the same exams you’re stressing about
We’ll only focus on the concepts that you need to know, meaning you’ll only have to do half as much work to get your dream grades.
Hey A Level Student, does this sound like you?
You’ve been studying hard…
But the questions still don’t make sense.
You’re watching YouTube tutorials, spamming past papers and yet your grades aren’t improving.
Maybe your teacher is moving at the speed of light, cause as long as she completes the syllabus she gets paid
You’re tired of staring blankly at questions
Tired of falling behind
Tired of wondering if you’ll even get the grades you need to get into uni.
IGCSES were so much easier hey?
Here’s the thing
Acing A Levels isn’t about being a genius
❌ It’s not about the 9 hour study sessions that everyone is preaching about
❌ It’s not about doing 10 years of past papers
❌ And it’s definitely not about finding some crazy study hack (active recall and all that)
Rather it really should look like this
✅ you’re getting As and you actually have a social life
✅ you have someone who’s walked the same path you’re on, guiding you every step of the way
✅ the past paper questions feel easier
✅ your studies are tailored to the exam, so you don’t need to study for long hours
✅ you’re destroying your mocks with ease
✅ the smartest student in your class is now asking you for help
✅ In a nutshell you’re him/her
The truth is, I was exactly where you are…
And I thought it was impossible to get my dream grades
But I did it! And I’ve made it my mission to help you get your dream grades too.
Over the past 3 years I’ve grown the GCEALevelMaths9709 YouTube channel to over 5 000 subscribers. And I’ve helped over 500 000 students on YouTube. You can see some of their comments below. I’ve spent more time than I’m proud to admit studying Cambridge and how their exams work so I can give you the edge.
Most students think that to excel in your A Level exams you need to do 10 years of past papers but that’s bs.
Anything more than 2 years of past papers is overkill. You don’t want to mindlessly do loads of past papers. Instead you want to focus on actually understanding the syllabus content and what Cambridge wants from you. And one of the most common remarks I get from students who I tutor, when they’re resitting their A Levels is “Taku, I’ve seen these questions before but I swear they were so much harder than this”.
Once you know what to focus on, you’ll wish we had started lessons earlier. Things will be that much clearer.
