About AQA

AQA is the largest provider of GCSEs and A Levels in the UK, an independent education charity regulated by Ofqual, the exams regulator for England. Its specifications are written for schools in England and are also taught in independent schools, sixth-form colleges and some international schools that enter students for UK qualifications. Since the 2015 reforms, AQA A Levels have been linear: every paper is sat at the end of the two-year course, and any paper can draw on content from both years. AS Level is a separate qualification, and an AS result does not count towards the A Level grade. Most subjects are assessed entirely by written exams, with a share of non-exam assessment in subjects such as English Literature, History, Geography and Computer Science. A Levels are examined once a year, in the May–June series, so a student who wants to improve a grade usually waits a full year to resit.

Not sure which board you are on?

Every paper carries the board name and a syllabus code in the top corner. Cambridge codes are four digits: 9709 for AS & A Level Mathematics, 0620 for IGCSE Chemistry. Check a past paper, a mock, or ask the subject teacher.

–Look at the header of any past paper or mock
–Four-digit code = Cambridge; other boards use different formats
–Send us the code and we will match the tutor to it

How AQA assesses you

Two boards can teach the same content and still reward different things. This is how Cambridge papers are built, and what that means for how a student should prepare.

1. Paper Structure

Most AQA A Levels are assessed through two or three written papers, all sat in the May–June series at the end of the course. Papers are synoptic, so any paper can test content from anywhere in the two years, and a single question can combine topics taught months apart.

  • Two or three papers, all at the end of the course
  • Every paper can draw on the full specification
  • Multiple-choice sections in Physics and Chemistry
  • Optional routes in some subjects, such as History and English Literature

2. Practicals and coursework

The sciences carry required practicals that students complete in class, assessed by the teacher for a separate practical endorsement. The endorsement is reported as Pass or Not Classified alongside the grade, and practical skills are also tested in the written papers. Several essay-based and applied subjects include a piece of non-exam assessment (NEA).

3. The role of AS and A2

AQA AS and A Level are separate qualifications. An AS can be taken after one year as a result in its own right, but it does not count towards the A Level: the full grade comes only from the papers sat at the end of the course. This is the biggest difference from Cambridge and Edexcel International, where AS makes up half of the A Level.

  • AS is a standalone qualification, worth 0% of the A Level
  • All A Level papers are sat at the end of the course
  • Many schools no longer enter students for AS at all

4. Markings and grades

Papers are marked externally against published mark schemes, with longer answers marked in levels rather than point by point. Marks from every paper are added into one raw total, and grade boundaries for that total are set after each series and published on results day. There is no uniform mark scale, so the raw boundary is the number that matters.

  • Published mark schemes and examiner reports
  • Boundaries set each series on the raw total
  • No UMS since A Levels became linear
  • A* to E at A Level, U for ungraded

What we coach for on Cambridge papers

These are the habits that separate a B from an A on this board specifically. Tutors who have marked Cambridge scripts teach to them from the first lesson.

See how our tutors are selected

AQA publishes a list of command words and uses them consistently. "Describe" wants what happens, "explain" wants why, and "evaluate" wants a judgement weighed against evidence. Answering the wrong command word is one of the most common ways to drop marks on a question the student actually understood.

Extended questions, such as the 6-mark questions in the sciences and essays in the humanities, are marked in levels. Examiners read the whole answer and place it in a band, so a logical, connected argument scores higher than a list of correct but disconnected points.

Because papers are synoptic, the hardest questions often join two topics that were taught separately. Practising mixed past-paper questions, rather than revising one topic at a time, is how students prepare for this.

A formulae booklet is given in Maths, a data booklet in Physics and a data sheet in Chemistry, while Biology gives nothing. Knowing what is provided, and what has to be memorised, changes how revision time should be spent.

Key dates for AQA

AQA examines A Levels once a year, in the May–June series, and entries close in February. Private candidates need to find an exam centre that will accept them and enter them before the deadline.

June series: entries close in late February, with late fees after that, and the school's exam centre usually sets an earlier internal deadline. Written papers run from early May to mid-June, followed by a contingency day that every candidate must keep free. Results are released in mid-August. This is the only series for AS and A Level.

‍November series: for GCSE English Language and Maths resits, plus the Level 3 Extended Project. There is no November A Level series, so an A Level resit means sitting the papers again the following June.

Non-exam assessment: NEA deadlines are set by the school and fall before the written papers begin, usually by April or early May.

Teaching provides a unique opportunity to shape lives and influence young people towards a responsible future, hence, my passion for teaching. As one with a passion for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, I understand that many students face real challenges grasping the concepts of the subjects. Hence, teaching provides me the avenue to tackle this, while also making a contribution; giving back to the society and also challenging myself towards further growth and development. I have taught since my secondary school days; taking more than 800 students in total; at various levels (on a one-on-one basis, in groups and at mass teaching levels). I have also taught at various educational levels (secondary and tertiary) as well as to a diverse range of student ethnic backgrounds with a very high success rate in student comprehension evinced by their later performance. Having gained significant experience teaching this subject, I have a very broad understanding of what is expected of students writing the GCSEs and A-level exams. I have also prepared students for varying exams including the – 11+, 13+, 16+, and curricula - GCSE and A-levels (Edexcel, OCR, AQA), IB (SL and HL) and Scottish National with excellent results from students - most of my students achieving grades 8 and 9. My teaching success rate has been largely due to my deep and vast understanding of the subject matter, coupled with my calm, interesting and engaging manner of communication that makes even an average and uninterested student develop a desire for Maths and Science. I use diverse teaching-aids, web-resources etc. as necessary."

I hold a First Class honours degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Advanced Chemical Engineering from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. I am also a UK Qualified Teacher with more than 4000 hours teaching/tutoring experience over a period of 15+ years. This has provided me with diverse experience necessary for tutoring different students' backgrounds with evident successes in the exams. I am hoping to be of help and assistance to any student in need.

I am an accomplished educator, NERC/QUADRAT-funded PhD scientist, and Certified Senior Examiner specialising in Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Environmental Science/Management, and Earth Sciences across A-Level, IGCSE, and GCSE levels. I earned my PhD in Environmental Sciences with distinction, an MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation with a PGCE equivalent, and a BSc (Hons) in Geography and Bioscience supported by the Repsol Sinopec Excellence Scholarship from the University of Aberdeen. With over 15,000 hours of total instructional experience spanning top international schools, leading universities, and global online platforms, my career bridges elite academic research with highly effective 1:1 student mentoring.

My scientific research focuses on high-altitude tropical and montane ecosystem resilience, biogeochemistry, and geophysics, leading to peer-reviewed contributions in leading academic journals such as Geosciences, features in The Economist, and presentations at major climate summits such as COP 26 through COP 30. As an active Certified Examiner for major secondary specifications, I provide students with an insider understanding of marking schemes, structural assessment shifts, and syllabus nuances. Combined with multilingual fluency in English (C2), Spanish (C2), Polish (Native), Italian (B2), German (B1), and Portuguese (B1), I deliver an intellectually rigorous, globally contextualised learning experience that empowers students to excel.

Tutor Experience

Over the past several years, I have logged over 15,000 total instructional hours, including more than 14,000 hours of direct 1:1 online tutoring and specialised digital learning environments. My pedagogical scope covers secondary, pre-university, and undergraduate levels across Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physical and Human Geography, Geology, and Earth Sciences. I possess extensive experience with all major exam specifications, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel (UK & IAL), OCR (A & B), Cambridge International (CIE), WJEC/Eduqas, and CCEA.

My institutional background includes four years as an academic lecturer and reader across leading UK universities, including the University of Aberdeen and the University of Edinburgh, alongside teaching cycles in top-tier international school environments. In these roles, I have directed coursework, designed geological and ecological field expeditions, and mentored students through independent geographical investigations, lab reports, and Non-Exam Assessment (NEA) coursework.

This rigorous background drives consistent student performance: 80–85%+ of my A-Level and GCSE/IGCSE tutees achieve top grades (A/A* or Grade 8/9), while my university students achieve average grade improvements of 30–40%+. Whether preparing high schoolers for competitive university entry or guiding them through high-stakes modular exams, I tailor every session to ensure total syllabus mastery and exam confidence.

Teaching Approach

My teaching philosophy is built upon an innovative, empirical framework that synthesises advanced scientific inquiry, diagnostic assessment architecture, and metacognitive learning strategies. Designed to transform passive memorisation into active analytical mastery, my approach elevates student performance across four core pillars:

Diagnostic Micro-Assessment Architecture — To guarantee complete syllabus coverage, every unit concludes with a mandatory diagnostic topic test. Built around rigorous targeted questioning, this system systematically identifies and resolves micro-gaps in knowledge before they impact official examination performance.

Examiner-Grade Assessment Mechanics — Drawing directly on my role as a Certified Senior Examiner, I train students to interpret command terms, structure high-scoring responses, and decode complex mark schemes. I provide specialised coaching on critical exam mechanics, including mastering extended 6- and 9-mark analytical questions and navigating board-specific scoring criteria.

Intradisciplinary Scientific & Applied Research Integration — I bridge theoretical syllabus content with real-world scientific methodologies derived from active research in high-altitude tropical ecology, geophysics, and environmental management. This intradisciplinary model deepens conceptual understanding, strengthens analytical data-response essays, and prepares students for top-tier academic rigour.

Adaptive Metacognitive Mentorship — Every learning pathway is customised to the student's unique cognitive profile, integrating high-yield active recall and structured problem-solving with dedicated academic mentorship. By cultivating both conceptual clarity and strategic resilience under exam conditions, I help students reach their highest academic potential.

Lina graduated from the University of Wollongong with both a BSc and MSc in Chemistry, achieving a High Distinction average. She began her career in the pharmaceutical industry, gaining valuable real-world experience before moving into education.

Since 2004, Lina has dedicated her career to teaching Chemistry and has over 20 years of experience teaching students aged 12–18 across international school curricula. She is currently the Head of Science and Head of Chemistry at a Singapore international school, where she leads the Science department and oversees a programme that combines Cambridge and Singapore curricula.

Lina’s strongest areas of expertise are Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level, Cambridge AS Level, and Cambridge A Level Chemistry. Her extensive classroom and leadership experience gives her a deep understanding of the syllabus content, assessment objectives, examination requirements, and question-answering techniques needed for students to succeed in Cambridge examinations.

In addition to her extensive Cambridge experience, Lina is highly qualified and experienced in teaching Pearson Edexcel Chemistry and Singapore-Cambridge O Level Chemistry, as well as IB Diploma Chemistry (HL/SL) and AP Chemistry. Her experience across multiple international curricula allows her to adapt her teaching to different examination boards while maintaining a strong focus on the specific requirements of each syllabus.

Over more than two decades of teaching, Lina has developed an extensive collection of exam-focused resources, past-paper materials, practice questions, and revision strategies. She understands that success in Chemistry requires more than knowing the content—students must also learn how to apply concepts, interpret questions, structure answers, and respond according to the expectations of their examination board.

Lina’s teaching philosophy is centred on helping students understand the “why behind the why” rather than relying on memorisation alone. Lessons typically begin by identifying gaps in prior knowledge, followed by clear explanations and modelling, guided practice, and independent problem-solving. Students are also given targeted practice to reinforce their learning between lessons.

Because Chemistry can be highly abstract, Lina uses visual explanations, analogies, worked examples, and real-world applications to make challenging concepts easier to understand. She creates a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and developing confidence in their Chemistry abilities.

Whether a student is preparing for Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level, AS or A Level Chemistry, following the Singapore Chemistry curriculum, or studying Pearson Edexcel Chemistry, Lina combines deep subject knowledge, over two decades of international-school teaching experience, current academic leadership, and exam-focused teaching to help students reach their full potential.

Outside of teaching, Lina enjoys travelling and staying active through outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and jogging.

Louise B has taught/tutored A level and GCSE/IGCSE Biology for over 10 years and is experienced at preparing students to perform well during their exams. Several of her A level students have gone on to study Medicine and many of her GCSE students have achieved a 9, but her biggest driver is to build the confidence in the young people she works with. Helping her students realised that they are more capable than they previously believed is what, she believes, enables them to make the fastest progress towards their goal.

At university Louise initially began studying Biochemistry but quickly realised that Microbiology was a bigger passion. She therefore has an excellent understanding of metabolic processes that students tend to find tricky. Her PhD in life sciences demonstrates that she understands the research process and is able to pass these skills onto her students.

Finally, Louise's teaching qualification was attained at the University of Oxford meaning that she is equipped with teaching skills that will allow her to get the best from her students. Her approach is to work with students with empathy and an open mind so that students grow in confidence and feel that they can achieve more than they previously thought possible.

Mahesh B is an experienced A Level Physics educator and International Examiner with over a decade of full-time teaching experience. He has taught students from different countries and academic backgrounds, helping them develop a strong understanding of Physics while preparing them systematically for their examinations.

Mahesh teaches Cambridge International (CAIE) A Level Physics and Pearson Edexcel International A Level Physics. His experience with both examination boards allows him to understand the differences in syllabus structure, question styles, assessment requirements and examination expectations. He adapts his lessons according to the student's specific specification rather than using the same approach for every exam board.

Alongside teaching, Mahesh works as a Cambridge International A Level Physics Examiner and Pearson Edexcel A Level Physics Examiner. His examining experience gives him first-hand exposure to mark schemes, assessment criteria and student responses. Having assessed examination answers, he has developed a clear understanding of the areas where students commonly lose marks and the level of explanation, working and reasoning expected in different types of questions.

He brings this examiner experience directly into his tutoring. Students learn not only how to arrive at the correct answer but also how to approach an examination question, show their working clearly, explain their reasoning, use appropriate units and present answers in a way that addresses the requirements of the question.

His teaching approach is centred on understanding Physics rather than memorising formulas. He breaks down difficult concepts into simpler ideas and then helps students apply those concepts through numerical problems, diagrams, real-world examples and exam-style questions. Particular attention is given to topics that students find challenging and to developing the mathematical and analytical skills required for A Level Physics.

A significant part of his teaching involves past-paper practice and examination preparation. Rather than simply working through large numbers of questions, Mahesh encourages students to understand why a particular approach works, identify patterns in questions, recognise common errors and learn from their mistakes. This helps students become more confident when they encounter unfamiliar problems in examinations.

Mahesh also provides individualised one-to-one online tutoring to students worldwide. He has worked with students from diverse educational backgrounds and adapts the pace, depth and teaching style according to each student's needs. Whether a student is struggling with fundamental concepts, looking to improve their examination technique or preparing for high grades, lessons are structured around their individual areas of difficulty.

In addition to teaching, Mahesh has worked as a Physics content developer with Revision Village and Pamoja, contributing to the development of educational and learning resources. This experience has strengthened his ability to explain Physics clearly and create structured, student-friendly learning material.

His online lessons are interactive and highly visual, making use of digital writing, simulations, animations, illustrations and real-world applications wherever they help students understand a concept more effectively. He aims to create an environment where students can ask questions freely, work through problems step by step and develop confidence in their own ability to solve Physics problems.

With his combination of 10+ years of teaching experience, CAIE and Pearson Edexcel examining experience, international tutoring experience and educational content-development work, Mahesh brings both subject expertise and an examiner's perspective to A Level Physics tutoring.

His ultimate aim is to help students understand Physics deeply, approach challenging problems with confidence and develop the examination skills needed to demonstrate their knowledge effectively.

I teach A-level, GCSE and IGCSE students, bringing together subject knowledge, classroom experience and a patient, practical approach to learning.

My subjects include Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English Language and Computer Science. My current GCSE teaching includes AQA Mathematics at Foundation and Higher levels and AQA English Language. My engineering background strengthens my teaching of Mathematics and Physics, while my professional software development experience allows me to connect computing concepts with practical applications.

I plan lessons around what each student needs. Some need to rebuild foundations; others understand the content but struggle to apply it in unfamiliar exam questions. I identify those gaps, explain ideas clearly and guide students towards solving problems independently. In Mathematics, that means understanding why a method works and recognising when to use it. In Science, it means connecting concepts, calculations and experimental evidence. In English, it means moving beyond identifying techniques to developing thoughtful analysis supported by precise examples.

Students can expect structured lessons, personalised homework and detailed feedback. I use past papers and mark schemes to help them understand what questions demand, improve the clarity of their answers and develop effective revision habits. I track difficulties across lessons so that we revisit what needs attention rather than simply move through topics.

I currently work with international learners, including students in the UK and Hong Kong, and understand the importance of adapting explanations to different educational and language backgrounds. I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, willing to attempt challenging work and able to recognise their own progress. My aim is to build secure understanding, greater independence and confident exam preparation.

AQA tutoring FAQs

We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.

How much does AQA tutoring cost?

A-Level and AS tutoring with an academic AQA tutor starts from $60 USD (£45) per hour. Packages save 5–15%. You can also pay as you go, invoiced after each lesson, with no lock-in contracts. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.

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.

Which A-Level subjects do your AQA tutors cover?

Our AQA tutors cover Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics, Psychology, English Literature, History, Business, Geography and more, including Further Mathematics, Computer Science, Sociology, Law, Accounting and Spanish. Every subject on the list is one AQA currently offers at A-level, and your tutor works from the exact specification your school follows. Not sure which specification you're on? Your Learning Advisor can check it with you when you apply.

Where can I find AQA past papers, specifications and grade boundaries?

AQA's past paper and mark scheme finder lets you search past papers and mark schemes by subject and qualification. Each specification page, such as A-level Biology (7402), has the full specification plus past papers, mark schemes and examiners' reports. Grade boundaries are on AQA's grade boundaries page, published at 8am on results day, with older raw mark tables kept in an archive. Our tutors use these materials to set timed practice.

Can I sit AQA A-Levels as a private candidate?

Yes, as long as you sit them in the UK. An AQA private candidate enters through an AQA-approved school or college that agrees to accept them, makes their own entry and pays the fees, and the centre may add its own admin charge. AQA does not offer exams to private candidates outside the UK. The centre must supervise and mark any NEA, and for A-level Biology, Chemistry and Physics it must be able to run the practical endorsement. June 2027 entries close on 21 February 2027. See AQA's private candidates guide and our resits and retakes page.

How is AQA different from other exam boards?

AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel all set linear A-levels for England under the same Ofqual rules, so AS never counts towards the A-level and the science practical endorsement works the same way. AQA's exams sit in common timetable slots agreed by all exam boards through JCQ. The real differences are in each specification's content, paper structure and total marks. For example, in June 2026 A-level Biology was marked out of 260 at AQA, 270 for OCR Biology A and 300 for Edexcel Biology A.

Do AQA A-Levels have coursework or practical assessments?

Yes, in some subjects. In Biology, Chemistry and Physics, teachers assess practical work for the practical endorsement, which appears on the certificate as a separately reported result alongside the A-level grade, not as part of it. AQA Biology sets 12 required practicals, and at least 15% of A-level Biology marks assess practical skills (AQA practical assessment). Non-exam assessment (NEA) is worth 20% of the A-level in History, Geography, Computer Science and English Literature A.

How are AQA A-Levels marked and graded?

AQA A-levels are linear, so the raw marks from every paper and any non-exam assessment are added into one overall subject mark, which is then compared with the grade boundaries. Senior examiners set the boundaries after marking, so they can change from year to year, and AQA publishes them at 8am on results day. Grades run from A* to E. In June 2026, the A* boundary for AQA Chemistry was 255 out of 300. See AQA's grade boundaries page.

Does the AQA AS Level count towards the full A-Level?

No. Since the reforms that began in 2015, AS and A-level are separate (decoupled) qualifications in England, so an AS result no longer counts towards an A-level. An AQA AS is usually taken after one year as a standalone qualification, while the A-level grade comes only from the exams and any non-exam assessment completed at the end of the two-year course. Ofqual explains the change in its AS and A level reform guide. Our AS Level tutoring supports students on either route.

When are AQA A-Level exams sat?

AQA A-levels are sat in the summer series, from May to June. For June 2027, the entry deadline is 21 February 2027, with late entry fees charged from 22 February. Written exams run from 10 May to 18 June 2027, with 23 June kept free as a contingency day, and results are released to students on 12 August 2027. Schools and colleges often set earlier internal entry deadlines. Full details are on AQA's dates and timetables page.

What is AQA?

AQA is an independent education charity and one of the main exam boards for UK schools and colleges, setting GCSEs, AS and A-levels, the Extended Project Qualification and other qualifications. It says it sets and marks over half of all GCSEs and A-levels taken in the UK each year. AQA was formed in 2000 as the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance, and its A-levels are written to Ofqual's rules for qualifications in England. Its international qualifications are offered separately through OxfordAQA. Find out more on the AQA website.

Do you have AQA tutors?

Yes. Every AQA tutor we match is chosen for the student's AQA specification in their subject, so lessons follow the same content, papers and mark schemes the student will sit. Our tutors are academic tutors who achieved A*/A grades, or qualified teachers and examiners. Your Learning Advisor matches you on subject, exam board and target grade, so you work with an AQA tutor who knows your course well. Meet our tutors or apply here to get matched.
