From a Grade C to an A - Securing Offers from King’s and UCL
Portfolio & Admissions Mentorship
Kiki came to Cadmium during her A-Level Art course working at a C grade and struggling to develop her projects with depth and consistency. Her sketchbooks lacked structure, and she felt uncertain about how to plan and refine her work to meet higher assessment criteria.
Over six months, we worked closely on both practical projects and written components. Through our Portfolio & Admissions Mentorship, she learned how to plan her work strategically, develop ideas with greater independence, and present her sketchbooks and essays with clarity and intention.
Kiki raised her grade to an A in A-Level Art and secured offers from King’s College London and University College London.
“India is a very patient and responsible tutor. With her support, I raised my A-Level Art grade to an A. She guided me through planning and completing each project, giving clear professional advice while encouraging me to work independently. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her.”
