A-level Religious Studies tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Religious Studies at A-level. £55–£99/hr · median £70
Religious Studies (also RE, Religious Education, or Philosophy and Ethics depending on the school) covers world religions, ethical theory, and philosophy of religion across GCSE and A-level. It's an analytical, essay-based subject, and A-level RS overlaps substantially with Philosophy. Tutoring helps most with the essay structure and the precise use of philosophical terminology that mark schemes reward, and with the comparison questions that ask students to weigh ethical theories or religious traditions against each other. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC) prescribe different religions and texts. Match the tutor to the specific units being taught.
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.
