A* Academy Tuition (GCSE and A-Level) in short
A* Academy Tuition is a Telford GCSE and A-level tuition listing at Jay Drive, reached by mobile with no standalone website behind it [1]. In our view it reads as an early-stage solo listing: a live contact route and a stated subject range, with services, prices and policies all uncheckable.
The record shows a GCSE and A-level tuition listing at a Jay Drive address in Telford, reached by mobile with no standalone website behind it. The Places listing carries the address and phone with a single positive rating. Subjects, prices, tutors and policies all sit beyond what the listing shows, with the mobile number the only direct route in. No company record, stated qualifications or insurance details sit behind the name.
What customers say is brief but positive: five out of five from a single Google review on its public listing [1]. One review counts for little in our assessment, though it points the right way. No other review source was found to set beside it. It shares the thinnest base in the round, and without a website there is nothing to set it beside, so the judgement rests on the listing alone.
What counts against A* Academy is everything unpublished: no company record, no stated qualifications, no prices and no insurance detail [1] [2]. Our review leaves it outside the top ten, which is fair on the evidence as it stands.
Our verdict
Our judgement: A* Academy suits Telford parents seeking GCSE or A-level one-to-one tuition who are comfortable enquiring on thin public evidence [1]. The single review is positive [1]. It counts against it that services, prices, history and company detail are all unpublished.

Questions about A* Academy Tuition (GCSE and A-Level)
Is A* Academy Tuition any good?
Too thin to judge either way. The single Google review is positive, but there is no website, so subjects, prices, tutors and policies cannot be checked [1]. Our assessment leaves it outside the top ten on that lack of evidence. Phone the listed mobile and ask for the basics before you treat it as a contender.
Is A* Academy registered with a trade scheme?
No. Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, a website or any platform checked, and no company record was found [1] [2]. No mandatory register covers private tutors, but the absence of any stated credential still counts. Ask the tutor directly what sits behind their teaching. No credential is stated anywhere for the listing.
What does A* Academy charge?
Nothing is published, since there is no website carrying a price list [1]. Ask for the hourly or monthly figure, what it includes, and the cancellation terms, and get the answer in writing before any paid session takes place this term. The mobile number is the only route to the figures.
Where does A* Academy work?
The listing gives a Jay Drive address in Telford with a mobile contact number [1]. There is no stated venue, timetable or service area beyond that. Ask where sessions happen and whether teaching is face to face or online, and what a first session covers. No service area sits behind the address.
How is A* Academy ranked?
A* Academy was researched in our September private-tutor round but sits outside the top ten. We looked first at customer evidence, then teaching credentials, trading history and stated cover, with pricing clarity and website detail counting next. A single review plus no website cannot carry it further. It was researched but sits outside the top ten.
How do I get a quote or arrange a first session with A Star Academy?
Phone the listed mobile, since there is no website or booking form behind the listing [1]. Ask for the subjects and levels covered, the hourly figure and what it includes, where sessions happen, and who will teach your child. Get the basics in writing before treating it as a contender, and compare it with a centre that publishes its detail.
What do parents' reviews say about A Star Academy?
Brief but positive: the top Google rating from a single review [1]. One review counts for little either way, and the listing stands alone as the evidence. Phone the listed mobile and ask for the basics before treating the rating as a verdict. The listing alone cannot support more than an enquiry.
How does A Star Academy compare with the others in this round?
It sits outside the top ten because its public evidence is the thinnest: a single review and no website, where even the other small listings show more. Rowen James offers the nearest comparison with detailed revision material and a company record, and Study Base shows what a full centre record looks like. Treat it as a phone enquiry rather than a ranked contender.
