Geology tutors

3 of 3 UK tutors teaching Geology.

Geology is a single-board subject in UK schools — GCSE Geology is offered only by Eduqas / WJEC (spec C480QS), and A-level Geology runs at Eduqas / WJEC and at OCR (H414), with OCR withdrawing the qualification (final first teach September 2026, final A-level assessment June 2028). It covers minerals and rocks, plate tectonics, geological time and structural geology, with substantial fieldwork — the Eduqas A-level requires a minimum of four days in the field. Tutoring helps most with rock and mineral identification (which rewards lots of practice with real specimens), the quantitative side at A-level (cross-sections, dip and strike, thin-section interpretation), and the essay-style questions on Earth history. School provision is thin and tutors are correspondingly scarce; geoscience graduates and Earth science teachers are the realistic pool. There's a meaningful adult-learner and university-support cohort here too — Open University earth science modules, mature students sitting GCSE or A-level privately, and undergraduate fieldwork prep.
