How do you start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. On the free intro call we look at your current A Level level and your goals — a recent score report or a piece of marked work helps — and the study plan is built from there, before you pay for anything. The intro call is a conversation, not a lesson or a test.

A-Level Geology — Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in each year of A-Level Geology?

In a typical course order the first year covers Minerals & Rocks, Earth Structure and Surface Processes, and the second covers Tectonics, Earth History and Applied Geology. The papers, their weighting and how the AS relates to the full A Level differ by board, so lessons follow your board's specification. Second-year content builds on the first, which is why gaps left in the first year tend to surface later.

What does A-Level Geology cover?

Across the two years the course covers 6 units: Minerals & Rocks, Earth Structure, Surface Processes, Tectonics, Earth History and 1 more. Unit names and grouping vary by board.

How long does A-Level Geology tutoring take?

It depends on where you are starting. Students working alongside school through the year often take one lesson a week; students revising for a resit or repairing one part of the course usually work in a shorter, more intensive block. Which suits you is agreed on the free intro call.
