A-Level Geography combines rigorous physical science (glaciation, coasts, tectonics, water cycles) with human geography (globalisation, development, urban change) and a significant fieldwork and data-analysis component. The independent investigation, a piece of original research, counts for 20% of the final grade. A specialist A-Level Geography tutor brings together these strands and teaches the analytical writing skills the mark scheme rewards. Birmingham has a large and growing private tuition market, with particularly high demand for Maths and Sciences at GCSE and A-Level.
