EPQ tutors

The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification, taken alongside A-levels and worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own research question and produce a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance with a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec 7993 dominates (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (P301-P304), OCR (H856), WJEC / Eduqas and ASDAN also offer it. Tutoring is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation, dissertation structure, methodology, viva preparation, and Production Log discipline. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover dissertation craft well.
