Why A-Level Law needs the right tutor
What makes A-Level Law hard
A-Levels move faster and go deeper than anything students have done before, and they are studied alongside two or three other subjects at the same level. Classes are taught to the middle of the room, so gaps are easy to carry forward unnoticed until the exam.
- A sharp step up in difficulty from GCSE
- Marks decided by technique, not recall
- Grades that determine university options
How tutoring changes the outcome
One-to-one tutoring targets the two things a classroom cannot: exam technique and the specific topics a student keeps getting wrong. A tutor marks work the way an examiner would, shows where the marks went, and then drills those areas until they hold. Confidence follows from that, not the other way round.
- Exam technique built on real past papers
- Targeted work on areas of weakness
- Confidence going into the exam
What you'll learn in A-Level Law tutoring
Core skills developed
Every A-Level Law specification marks the same progression: knowing legal rules and principles, applying them to a scenario to present a legal argument, and analysing and evaluating the law. In England and Wales knowledge carries 40% on every board, but the balance between the other two differs. AQA puts more weight on evaluation (33%) than application (27%), while OCR and WJEC and Eduqas split them evenly. Cambridge gives knowledge and understanding 45% of the A Level, and Edexcel International uses four objectives, separating the analysis of legal problems from evaluation. We work through past-paper questions objective by objective, so you can see which skill is costing you marks rather than just seeing a lower total.
- Applying legal rules to scenarios step by step and reaching a conclusion on liability
- Citing cases and statutes accurately as authority for each point
- Statutory interpretation and judicial precedent: how judges make and apply law
- Evaluating the law: its strengths, its weaknesses and proposals for reform
- Writing clear, structured legal arguments in precise legal terminology
How are students assessed
Law is assessed entirely by written exams, with no coursework. Every board combines scenario-based problem questions with essays, but the structure differs. AQA, OCR and Eduqas set three papers at the end of the course, each with a choice of optional areas of law. Cambridge and WJEC in Wales let you sit the AS first and carry the result forward. Edexcel International sets two three-hour papers, both sat in the same June series.
- Scenario (problem) questions: we practise working through each element of liability to a conclusion, using real past papers and mark schemes
- Short-answer questions on the legal system and law making, where precise knowledge earns marks quickly
- Evaluation essays: marked on balanced, supported argument, so we rewrite answers until an examiner could award full marks
What A-Level Law topics do we cover?
WJEC and Eduqas run two separate Law qualifications. Eduqas A Level Law is for centres in England and is linear, with all three components sat in May/June at the end of the course. WJEC AS/A Level Law is the Qualifications Wales version for centres in Wales and is unitised, so the AS units are sat in the summer of the first year. We match tutors to the specification on your exam entry.
Eduqas A Level Law (England)
- Component 1: The Nature of Law and the English Legal System (1 hour 30 minutes, 25%)
- Component 2: Substantive Law in Practice (2 hours 15 minutes, 37.5%)
- Component 3: Perspectives of Substantive Law (2 hours 15 minutes, 37.5%)
For Components 2 and 3 you study three of four areas, law of contract, law of tort, criminal law and human rights law, with at least one private and one public area. The same three areas are used in both components.
WJEC AS/A Level Law (Wales)
- AS Unit 1: The Nature of Law and the Welsh and English Legal Systems (1 hour 45 minutes, 25%)
- AS Unit 2: The Law of Tort (1 hour 30 minutes, 15%)
- A2 Unit 3: The Practice of Substantive Law (1 hour 45 minutes, 30%)
- A2 Unit 4: Substantive Law Perspectives (2 hours, 30%)
Units 3 and 4 each cover two areas chosen from human rights law, law of contract and criminal law.
In both versions application and evaluation are examined in separate papers. The scenario paper (Eduqas Component 2, WJEC Unit 3) carries no evaluation marks, and the essay paper (Eduqas Component 3, WJEC Unit 4) carries no application marks, so each needs its own technique. Sessions on this board train the two styles separately for each area of law you study.
Two compulsory papers, each three hours, 100 marks and 50% of the IAL. Both papers must be sat in the same series, and Law is examined in the May/June series only. Each paper has five compulsory 20-mark questions, made up of short open-response and extended open-response parts.
Paper 1 · Underlying Principles of Law and the English Legal System
- 1.1 The nature, purpose of and liability in law
- 1.2 The sources of English law, its enforcement and administration
Paper 2 · The Law in Action
- 2.1 The market (the law of contract, and negligence as an alternative to contract)
- 2.2 The criminal offender (criminal liability, property offences, general defences and sentencing)
- 2.3 The individual (freedom of speech and defamation, the Human Rights Act 1998, privacy and occupiers' liability)
Edexcel IAL uses four assessment objectives, so analysing a legal problem and evaluating the law are marked separately. Paper 1 also brings legal theory into the exam directly: positivism, natural law, utilitarianism and the Hart/Devlin debate. You are expected to know the law as it stood when your studies began, and changes are not assessed for two years. Sessions on this board build stamina for two three-hour papers and give the theory topics the same weight as the case law.
Three written papers, each two hours, 80 marks and a third of the A Level, all sat at the end of the course. Every candidate takes H418/01 and H418/02, then either H418/03 or H418/04. In each paper Section A is worth 20 marks and Section B 60 marks, with legal scenario and extended response questions in Section B. All components include synoptic assessment.
Compulsory components
- H418/01 The legal system and criminal law (Section A: The legal system; Section B: Criminal law)
- H418/02 Law making and the law of tort (Section A: Law making; Section B: The law of tort)
Optional components · one of
- H418/03 The nature of law and Human rights (Section A: The nature of law; Section B: Human rights law)
- H418/04 The nature of law and the law of contract (Section A: The nature of law; Section B: The law of contract)
OCR gives a choice of questions in every Section A, and its specification sets a two-year rule: you are not required to know changes in the law that came into effect in the two years before the exam. The nature of law section asks you to bring together material from the whole course. Sessions on this board build answers to the 60-mark Section B scenarios and practise the synoptic nature of law essays.
Three two-hour written papers, each worth 100 marks and a third of the A-level, all sat in the same summer series at the end of the course. Each paper gives 25 marks to the nature of law and the English legal system and 75 marks to an area of substantive law: criminal law on Paper 1, tort on Paper 2, and either the law of contract or human rights on Paper 3. Questions are a mix of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing.
Compulsory content
- 3.1 The nature of law and the English legal system
- 3.2 Criminal law
- 3.3 Tort
Options · one for Paper 3
- 3.4 Law of contract
- 3.5 Human Rights
AQA spreads the legal system and nature of law across all three papers, and an appendix to the specification sets out which of those topics is examined with crime, with tort and with the option. Every paper also includes multiple choice questions, which reward exact knowledge of the rules. Sessions on this board link each legal system topic to the paper it belongs to and drill the short-answer and multiple choice questions alongside the long scenarios.
Four papers, each 1 hour 30 minutes. AS candidates study Topics 1 and 2 and sit Papers 1 and 2, each worth 50% of the AS Level. Full A Level candidates also sit Papers 3 and 4, and each of the four papers is worth 25% of the A Level. You can sit the AS first and carry the result forward, or take all four papers in one series. Exams run in June and November. Paper 2 is out of 60 marks and the other three papers are out of 75.
AS Level · Paper 1 English Legal System
- 1.1 Principles and sources of English law
- 1.2 Machinery of justice
- 1.3 Legal personnel
AS Level · Paper 2 Criminal Law
- 2.1 Elements of a crime
- 2.2 Offences against property
- 2.3 Sentencing in England and Wales
A Level · Paper 3 Law of Contract
- 3.1 Formation of a valid contract
- 3.2 Contents of a contract
- 3.3 Discharge of a contract
- 3.4 Remedies for breach of a contract
A Level · Paper 4 Law of Tort
- 4.1 The tort of negligence
- 4.2 Torts affecting land
- 4.3 Torts affecting the person
- 4.4 General defences and remedies
Cambridge's criminal law is built on offences against property, such as theft, robbery and burglary under the Theft Act 1968, rather than offences against the person. Paper 2 opens with a compulsory scenario question based on source material, and Papers 1, 3 and 4 ask for two essays from a choice of three. Sessions on this board practise the source-based scenario to time and plan essay choices in advance.

FAQs
We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.
A-Level Law with an academic tutor starts from $60 USD (£45) per hour. Packages save 5 to 15%, handy for regular scenario practice. Pay as you go is invoiced after each lesson, with no lock-in contracts. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. See pricing.
Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the lesson fee. That applies if you cancel less than one hour before the start time, or don't turn up. You can still change a session time whenever you need to, as long as you give your tutor notice.
Our academic tutors achieved an A* or A in A-Level Law. Our professional tutors are qualified teachers or examiners with 5+ years' experience. We accept the top 5% of applicants and match you to a tutor who knows your board's options, such as contract or human rights on AQA's Paper 3. Meet our tutors.
Lessons are one-to-one and online, with a tutor matched to Law, your exam board and your target grade. Sessions focus on your weak topics using past paper questions from your board. For Law, that means working through each element of liability to a conclusion, citing authority for every point, and turning evaluation essays into reasoned judgements. See how it works or apply now.
Law is new to almost everyone who takes it, and it asks for three kinds of answer at once. The marks usually go on scenario answers that describe the law without applying it to the facts, on points made without a case or statute behind them, and on topics like causation, mens rea and defences, where a small change in the facts changes the outcome. The legal system and the nature of law are examined alongside the substantive law. See our online A-Level tutoring.
It is a demanding grade. In summer 2026, 4.8% of UK A-Level Law entries achieved an A*, and 17.0% achieved A* or A (JCQ). An A* needs three skills working together: accurate knowledge of cases and statutes, step-by-step application to unseen scenarios with a conclusion for each party, and evaluation built on legal argument rather than opinion.
Grade boundaries are set after each exam series and change every year. In June 2026, AQA's A* boundary was 212 out of 300 (71%) and OCR's was 180 out of 240 (75%), each for one of the two optional routes. Cambridge's June 2026 A* threshold was 206 out of 300 (69%) for one standard paper combination.
No. A-Level Law has no coursework or practical endorsement on any board we cover, so the whole grade comes from exams. Each AQA paper gives 25 marks to the nature of law and the English legal system and 75 marks to an area of substantive law, and includes multiple choice, short answer and extended questions. On OCR, each paper has a 20-mark Section A and a 60-mark Section B. See the OCR Law specification.
A-Level Law is assessed entirely by written exams that mix scenario problems and essays. AQA sets three 2-hour papers of 100 marks, each a third of the A-level. OCR sets three 2-hour papers of 80 marks, each worth 33.3%. The biggest difference is Cambridge: four 1 hour 30 minute papers worth 25% each, and you can sit the two AS papers first and carry the result forward.
We also cover Edexcel International and WJEC and Eduqas. See the AQA Law specification.
