In their own words
“I first came for tutoring because I wanted to break into the top band of grades and go to a top university for geography... I achieved A*A*A in my A-Levels and earned a place at the University of Cambridge for Geography.”
“I got my first A* in geography, from a D just 2 months ago!”
“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!”
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support you gave Lamees. She did really, really well in her A-Levels and achieved an A, a massive improvement from a D when she started taking lessons.”
“The lessons are very helpful and help me with harder topics and also revise other topics in a wide range of methods.”
What's included: the Olympus Method
Step 1
Know It
A solid knowledge foundation across every exam board topic, including a precise, exam-ready case study bank.
Step 2
Show It
Turning knowledge into answers that earn marks through exam technique, not just content.
Step 3
Score It
Timed practice under real exam conditions, examiner-standard marking, monthly feedback, run from September to May.
One live weekly class (recorded), under 10 students per cohort, monthly examiner-marked assessment with written feedback, support between lessons.
Is this still the right fit?
This is right if:
- You left the call with a clear answer for what's likely to catch your child out at A-Level
- Your child is willing to commit to the weekly class and their own work between sessions
- You'd rather build the right habits from September than fix them after January mocks
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. See the deposit option below.
Our Grade Guarantee
If your child attends our live sessions and completes the monthly assessments, and hasn't increased by 2 grades in the first 3 months, they'll get a free place on our next intensive booster course in the school holidays, at no extra cost, to help close the gap before their final exams.
76.5% of last year's A-Level students achieved an A* or A.
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.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| 9 monthly instalments | £250/month, or £2,250 across the year |
| Paid upfront | £2,000, which is a genuine £250 saving. Klarna is available at checkout, split into 3 interest-free payments of £666.67 |
| Termly | £900 per term (3-month minimum) |
This isn't the cheapest Geography support available. Most families who reach us have already tried something cheaper.
