EPQ Electronics tutors
2 UK tutors who teach Electronics at EPQ.
Electronics is offered at GCSE and A-level (Eduqas is the main board at A-level; OCR and Eduqas at GCSE) and covers analogue and digital circuits, logic, programmable systems, and design-and-build coursework. It's a small-cohort subject, so school provision is patchy and good tutors are scarce. Tutoring earns its keep on the maths-and-physics overlap (impedance, time constants, op-amp behaviour) and on the project component where students often have the idea but lose marks on documentation. Practical bench experience matters here, so look for tutors with a hands-on circuit-building background.
The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
