Watch this before your child's predicted grade is decided

Why your teenager's A-Level Geography grade isn't matching their effort, and the specific thing that closes the gap before predicted grades are set this year.

A conversation with a member of our team about your child's situation and goals. 45 minutes, no charge, no obligation to join anything.

Ella, Grade D to A* in two months Lamees, Grade D to A

A conversation about your child, and whether the Blueprint is the right fit.

This is not a presentation about the programme. Almost all of it is spent on your child's own situation and what you both want from this year. 45 minutes, with a member of our team, and three things to walk away with.

Where your child is now, and what they're aiming for

Their current grade, their exam board, and what they and you want to get to. That might be a university offer, a predicted grade, or simply closing the gap between what they know and what they're scoring.

What tends to be holding a grade back at this level

Essay structure, synoptic thinking, evaluation, case study application, or confidence under timed conditions. We talk through which of these fits your child, because the right support looks different depending on which one it is.

Whether the Blueprint is a fit, not a vague next step

What the weekly classes involve, the schedule, and the cost. You get all of it on the call, so you leave with a decision you can actually make, not homework to go and find answers yourself.

And if the Blueprint is not right for your child, we will say so on the call and tell you what we would do instead. Classes stay under ten students, so a place given to the wrong fit is a place taken from a child it would have worked for.

Read this part honestly first.

Book the call if

  • Your child is in Year 12 or Year 13 and you want a genuine A or A*, not just a pass
  • They can commit to weekly live classes, plus a few hours of their own work
  • Your child wants the grade, rather than you wanting it on their behalf
  • You would rather pay once for the right support than three times for the cheapest

Do not book if

  • You are choosing between tutors mainly on price
  • You are looking for one to one lessons, since every class here is a small group
  • Your child is not willing to hand work in, or wants no part of this at all
  • You want general homework help across several subjects rather than Geography properly

If you are in the first column, the 45 minutes is worth your evening. If you are in the second, better that you know now than after we have both given up an evening.

Two real grade jumps. Neither started with more knowledge.

Worth saying plainly before you read these. Classes are kept under ten students, so there is no wall of five star reviews here and I am not going to invent one. Judge the method on whether it makes sense to you, and judge us on the call itself. Those are the two honest things to go on.

Ella was working at a Grade D in A-Level Geography. She wasn't lazy and she wasn't struggling with the subject conceptually. She knew the content but had no way to turn it into a top-band answer under exam conditions. We worked on structure, not content.

I got my first A* in geography from a D just 2 months ago. Ella, AQA A-Level Blueprint student

Lamees came to us working at a Grade D. Over the course of the year, the same technique-first approach moved her result by a full three grades.

Grade D to a Grade A.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support you gave Lamees during her lessons with you and your company. She did really, really well in her A-levels and achieved an A grade. That's a massive improvement from a D when she started taking lessons to an A. Anna Bazuti, Lamees's mother

Alice's highest grade in two years of A-Level Geography had been a D. Most of the time she was getting Es, and repeatedly failed Paper 1 no matter how much she revised for it on her own.

Repeated E's to a Grade A*.

Over the last 2 years, the highest grade I'd ever received in geography was a D. I am so pleased to say thanks to your course I've come out with an A*. I'm off to Newcastle in September to study psychology. Alice Goodwin-day, A-Level Geography student

Kariesh started with Freya at GCSE, in Year 9. He achieved 10 Grade 9s and one Grade 8 at GCSE, then continued through the Blueprint at A-Level. Not every student ends up at Cambridge and we would never suggest otherwise. It's here because it answers the question underneath most parents' decision, said out loud or not: does this still matter years from now.

GCSE in Year 9, to Cambridge.

My grades are a testament to the effectiveness of Freya's tutoring methods. I achieved 10 Grade 9s and one 8 in GCSE, A*A*A in my A-Levels, and earned a place at the University of Cambridge for Geography. I definitely would not have been able to achieve this without Freya's help. Kariesh, GCSE Year 9 to Cambridge

Devina joined not entirely sure Geography was the subject for her. By the end of Year 13 that had changed completely.

I joined in Year 12 not really knowing if Geography was for me. By the end of Year 13 I was applying to Oxford. Devina, Oxford offer holder

A conversation with a member of our team about your child's situation and whether the Blueprint fits. 45 minutes, no charge. Bring your child along if you can.

Taught by people who mark these papers.

Freya

Founder

Cambridge Geography graduate. International Geography Olympiad medallist and former Team UK representative. 7+ years of specialist Geography tutoring, 500+ students supported, and an Oxbridge admissions specialist. She designs the curriculum and academic standards of every Blueprint cohort.

Hannah

Examiner

13+ years of teaching experience and a practising examiner across every major exam board. Specialist in essay structure and exam technique, and trusted by hundreds of families. That's the part that matters for your child: the feedback they get isn't a guess at what an examiner wants, it comes from somebody who marks these exact papers every year.

Taught to your child's specification, not a general version of Geography

We cover all of the major exam boards.

What parents ask before booking.

Is this call just a sales pitch, or a call to sell me a programme?

No. If that is all it was, it would not be worth 45 minutes of your evening and we know it.

You will speak with a member of our team about your child's current situation, what you and they want from this year, and what tends to be holding a grade back at this level. That is what the call is actually for.

If it is not the right fit we will tell you and say what we would do instead. Classes stay under ten students, so putting the wrong child in one takes the place from a child it would have worked for.

Who should be on the call?

You, your child if you can manage it, and the other parent if they are part of the decision.

Bringing your child matters more than anything else here. Our team will ask them directly what they want out of this, with you listening. If the goal belongs to you and not to them, far better to find that out now than in month three.

What does the Blueprint actually involve each week?

Live classes taught in a group of under ten, running from now through to the final A-Level exams. Every class is recorded so your child can go back over anything they miss.

There is a marked assessment every month, checked against your child's real exam board mark scheme, with written feedback naming what to change next. We recommend two to four hours of your child's own work each week on top of live sessions.

My child is already getting A's. Is this only for students who are behind?

The opposite, in a lot of cases. Many of our students join already strong and want to refine the final ten to fifteen marks that separate an A from an A*.

The distance between an A and an A* is almost never more content. It's synoptic thinking, evaluation and application in the long answer questions. That's exactly what the Blueprint is built around.

Is NEA and coursework support included?

Yes. While live classes focus on exam technique, our tutors guide students through every stage of the NEA, from question selection and methodology to analysis and evaluation.

Can we still join partway through the year?

Usually yes, depending on whether there's still a place in the group for your child's year. We'll be straight with you about that on the call rather than squeezing anyone in.

Starting earlier is genuinely better though, and not because of pressure. Exam technique takes months to become second nature, and the students who are calm in the exam hall are the ones who built it early rather than crammed it late.

What does it cost?

You get the exact figure and payment options on the call. It's not on this page because it depends on your child's year group and how long they have left.

What I will say now is that it is not the cheapest Geography support you will find. Most families who reach us have already tried something cheaper, and that's usually why they're calling.

Freya, Founder

If your child sticks with the programme, does the work, and still isn't on track for their target grade, we'll give them a free intensive booster course over the holidays before their exams. We back the process as much as we're asking you to.

Is the Blueprint right for your child?

If you're confident that what's already in place will get them where they want to be, you don't need this call. If there's any doubt at all, take the 45 minutes.
