Following your call: the Year 13 A* Blueprint
You spoke with our team about where your child is heading into their final year of A-Level Geography. Here's the full plan, in case it's useful to have it all in one place.
Results from students like yours
Mia went into her final exam with a C at mock stage.
“I got an A star!!!! Which I cannot believe!!! Going from a C in the mock to an A* in the real thing could not be better!”
Ella's highest Geography grade in two years had been a D.
“I got my first A* in geography from a D just 2 months ago.”
“That's a massive improvement from a D when she started taking lessons to an A.”
“He got an A in his geography! We are super happy as he was struggling in his essays hence seeking your help.”
What we cover on the call
- —Where a student's current grade sits against the entry requirement for their target university and course
- —The predicted-grade timing matters because schools set predicted grades for UCAS applications well before final exams. That number is as important as the eventual result.
- —Why dedicated, twice-weekly support through mocks and final exams tends to be the deciding factor at this stage
What's included: the Olympus Method
- 1
Know It
A solid knowledge foundation across every exam board topic, including a precise, exam-ready case study bank.
- 2
Show It
This is about turning knowledge into answers that earn marks. It focuses on exam technique, not just content.
- 3
Score It
Timed practice under real exam conditions, examiner-standard marking, monthly feedback, run from September to the final papers.
Plus: two live weekly classes (recorded), under 10 students per cohort, monthly examiner-marked assessment with written feedback, and support between lessons.
Is this still the right fit?
This is right if:
- —You left the call with a clear answer for what's standing between the current grade and the target
- —Your child is willing to commit to two classes a week and their own work between sessions
- —You'd rather pay once for the right support through to final exams than try something cheaper first
This isn't right if:
- —You're still weighing this mainly on price
- —Your child isn't genuinely on board with this themselves
- —You want more time before deciding, so see the deposit option below
Our Grade Guarantee
Your child's first monthly assessment is marked by a real examiner, to the same standard used in the actual exam. This is often more rigorous than school grading, so it's normal for this first result to look different from their school-reported grade. That difference is not a decline. It is the true starting point we track progress against.
If your child attends at least 90% of live sessions, completes every monthly assessment, and all course materials, and hasn't reached an A or A* by Easter, they'll get a free place on our Easter Revision Course. This is at no extra cost, to help close the gap before their final exams.
Two-Week Trial
If the first two weeks aren't the right fit for your child, let us know and we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
Pricing
For context, good Geography tutors typically charge £50 to £100 an hour for 1-1. Even at the top of that range, a year of 1-1 tuition adds up to well beyond what the full Blueprint costs, and this includes examiner marking, monthly assessments and support most 1-1 tutors don't offer.
Twice-weekly A* Blueprint
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| 10 monthly instalments | £400/month, £4,000 across the year |
| Paid upfront | £3,500, a genuine £500 saving. Klarna available at checkout, split into 3 interest-free payments of £875 |
| Termly | £1,400 per term (3-month minimum) |
One class a week
A lighter-touch option: one live class a week instead of two, with the same examiner marking and monthly assessments. Some families start here and upgrade to the full twice-weekly Blueprint as exams get closer.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| 10 monthly instalments | £250/month, £2,500 across the year |
| Paid upfront | £2,000, a genuine £500 saving |
This isn't the cheapest Geography support available. Most families who reach us have already tried something cheaper.
