AS-level EPQ tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching EPQ at AS-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.
AS-levels are the first-year sixth-form qualification (Year 12, age 16-17), taken as standalone qualifications worth half an A-level in subjects where students don't continue to A2. Since the 2015-2017 reforms decoupled AS from A-level in England, AS marks no longer count toward the A-level grade — students sit fresh A-level exams at the end of Year 13. Wales and Northern Ireland retained the older modular structure. Tutoring at AS focuses on consolidation through Year 12 to set up A-level success; in England, the AS exam itself is now optional and increasingly skipped. Confirm the actual route the student is on.
