A-level EPQ tutors
5 UK tutors who teach EPQ at A-level.
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. See also /levels/epq for the full breakdown.
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, so match the tutor to the spec, especially in maths, sciences and modern languages where assessment differences are sharp.
