A-level Criminology tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Criminology at A-level.
Criminology is offered as a Level 3 Applied Diploma (WJEC/Eduqas), often taken alongside or as part of an A-level package, and covers types of crime, criminological theory, the criminal justice process, and crime control. It's a more applied and coursework-heavy subject than A-level Sociology or Law, with a substantial controlled-assessment component. Tutoring helps most with the controlled assessments (where students need to write to specific assessment criteria with named theories applied) and with the criminological theory content. Look for tutors with criminology, sociology or law backgrounds and explicit Eduqas spec experience — the diploma structure differs noticeably from A-levels.
A-levels are sat at the end of Year 13 (age 17-18) and are the standard UK university-entrance qualification, with most students taking 3 subjects (sometimes 4 plus an EPQ). Grades A*-E feed UCAS, and competitive university courses set offers at AAA or higher. Tutoring helps most with the step up from GCSE — A-levels demand independent learning, denser content, and exam technique that rewards structured argument or method-mark-aware working. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, CIE) diverge meaningfully — match the tutor to the spec, especially in maths, sciences and modern languages where assessment differences are sharp.
