A-Level Philosophy — Frequently Asked Questions

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

In a typical course order the first year covers Epistemology and Moral Philosophy, and the second covers Metaphysics of God and Metaphysics of Mind. 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 Philosophy cover?

Across the two years the course covers 4 units: Epistemology, Moral Philosophy, Metaphysics of God and Metaphysics of Mind. Unit names and grouping vary by board.

How long does A-Level Philosophy 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.
