Most tutoring sites will match you with an undergraduate. I am a working lawyer with a First-Class Law degree, a Master's in Law and 1,000+ hours of A-Level Law tutoring — and I wrote every module I teach from.
Which is exactly why generic tutoring does not move the grade.
Not "there was a case about this". The name, roughly the year, and the specific principle it established. Examiners reward the authority, not the gist. Most students lose marks here before they have written a word of analysis.
AO3 is where the marks concentrate and where almost everyone under-performs. Knowing the law is not the same as arguing about whether it works, and the exam asks for both in the same answer, under time pressure.
Problem questions reward a shape: rule, authority, application, conclusion. It is learnable in a session and it takes weeks to make automatic. That is what tutoring is actually for — not re-explaining content you can read.
Across the UK market, A-Level Law tutoring runs from about £20 an hour on the large marketplaces to £80 an hour for specialists, with most sitting somewhere in the £35 to £55 band. Anyone quoting you £20 is almost certainly matching you with a current undergraduate, and anyone quoting £80 is usually an agency taking a cut.
I charge £45 for a 60-minute session, and the revision module for whatever we cover is included free — those are £49.99 each on their own. So the first session costs less than nothing if you were going to buy the notes anyway.
I am not the cheapest option and I am not trying to be. The marketplaces will always undercut me, because their tutors are students earning beer money and mine is a full working week in law. What you are paying for is that the person teaching you does this for a living.

Four questions worth asking before you pay anybody, including me.
OCR H418, OCR H018 and AQA 7162 are marked differently and weighted differently. "I teach Law" is not the same as "I teach your specification". If they cannot name yours, keep looking.
On marketplace platforms the answer is often no. Continuity matters more in Law than in most subjects, because the structure you are drilling has to be the same structure every time.
They are published, free, and almost nobody reads them. They say plainly what candidates got wrong each year. A tutor who has read them can tell you which mistakes are costing the cohort marks right now.
An hour a week is not much. Ask what you keep afterwards: notes, recordings, a way to ask a question on Wednesday night. If the answer is "nothing", you are buying an hour, not a course.
