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. Cambridge families have high academic expectations and strong demand for experienced tutors, particularly for A-Level and university preparation.
