AQA A Level Religious Studies: what to know.
AQA A Level Religious Studies is a rigorous two-year course examining philosophy of religion, ethics, and the study of a major world religion. It suits students who want to develop critical-thinking and essay skills valued by top universities.
AQA A Level Religious Studies (7062) is a linear A Level set by the AQA exam board. Students study philosophy of religion and ethics alongside one thematic or textual study of a chosen religion, building analytical skills across all three areas.
The qualification is assessed entirely by written examination at the end of Year 13. Three two-hour papers cover philosophy, ethics, and the chosen religion. Grades run from A* to E, with each paper marked against AQA's detailed mark scheme for extended-essay responses.
AQA A Level examinations sit in the summer series, typically in May and June of Year 13. Most students begin targeted preparation in Year 12, revisiting core arguments and practising timed essay technique well before the final exam series.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Every lesson targets the specific arguments, scholars or essay structures capping your child's grade, not a generic class plan.
Real past-paper essay technique
Tutors work through timed AQA past papers and the mark-scheme criteria, so students learn exactly how examiners award marks for extended-essay responses.
Parents kept in the loop
After every session, parents receive a written progress report covering what was covered, what improved, and what the next lesson will address.
The A Level that builds the critical voice universities want.
AQA A Level Religious Studies (specification 7062) is a linear qualification set by the AQA exam board in England. It is designed for students aged 16 to 18 and is widely offered in British-curriculum schools across the GCC and internationally.
Assessment is entirely examination-based, with three two-hour papers sat at the end of Year 13. Papers cover philosophy of religion, ethics, and a chosen religion. Grades run from A* to E, with extended-essay responses marked against AQA's published mark scheme and assessment objectives.
Tuitional tutors work directly from AQA specification 7062, so every lesson aligns with the precise content, scholars, and essay frameworks that appear on the real papers. Nothing drifts from the syllabus your child's school uses.
What a one-to-one AQA Religious Studies lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a tested structure: recap, teach, apply to past papers, then review. Parents know exactly what happened and what comes next.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with two or three targeted questions to check what landed from the previous session and where gaps remain before moving on.
Example: The tutor asks the student to summarise Aquinas's cosmological argument and identify one scholar who challenges it, checking retention before introducing new content.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor explains the session's core content, introduces key scholars and their arguments, and checks understanding with short questions throughout.
Example: Teaching AQA Component 1 (Philosophy of Religion) - the tutor walks through the ontological argument, covering Anselm, Descartes, and Kant's objection, using a shared digital whiteboard.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to past-paper questions
The student attempts a timed AQA past-paper essay question while the tutor guides technique, use of scholarly evidence, and how marks are allocated under AQA's assessment objectives.
Example: The student drafts a response to a June 2023 Paper 1 question on religious language, then compares their answer against the AQA mark scheme to identify where evaluative depth was missing.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, gives targeted homework, and logs the session notes that are shared with the parent after the call.
Example: Homework set to write a timed 25-mark essay on the problem of evil, using Hick and Mackie, ready for mark-scheme review at the next session.
After the lesson
Parents receive a written session report covering topics taught, progress observed, and next steps. The session recording is saved to the student's account, and homework is logged on the platform for tracking.

The qualification that builds the analytical edge top universities reward.
AQA A Level Religious Studies is set by the AQA exam board and assessed across three written papers covering philosophy of religion, ethics, and a chosen religion. It is a fully linear qualification, with all exams sat at the end of Year 13.
The course develops extended-essay technique, use of scholarly sources, and evaluative argument - skills that carry directly into degree-level study in philosophy, theology, law, and the humanities. Grade outcomes depend heavily on exam technique as much as subject knowledge.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for A Level Religious Studies.
My daughter went from unsure about her essay structure to confidently arguing philosophical positions with real scholarly evidence. Her AQA mock result jumped two full grades. The tutor understood exactly what AQA examiners want and taught her how to deliver it.
We were worried about finding a tutor who actually knew the AQA Religious Studies spec in detail. Tuitional matched us within a day, and the first session was immediately on point. Our son feels far more confident going into his exams.
I used to dread the 25-mark essay questions. My tutor broke down exactly how to structure an argument and use scholars properly. Practising past papers every session made the real exam feel manageable.
Flexible evening slots made it easy to fit sessions around school. Within six weeks, my daughter's essay marks improved consistently and she started enjoying the subject again.

The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?What does AQA A Level Religious Studies actually cover?+
AQA A Level Religious Studies (specification 7062) covers three main areas: philosophy of religion, ethics, and a chosen religion. Students study key arguments, scholars, and texts across all three, developing the extended-essay technique that examiners reward at the top grade boundaries.
?How is the AQA A Level Religious Studies exam structured?+
There are three two-hour written papers, all sat at the end of Year 13. Each paper covers one of the three components: philosophy of religion, ethics, and the chosen religion. All answers are extended essays assessed against AQA's published assessment objectives.
?Will the tutor follow our school's exact AQA syllabus?+
Yes. Tuitional tutors work directly from AQA specification 7062, including your child's chosen religion option. Lessons align with the exact topics, scholars and essay frameworks your school uses, so nothing covered in sessions strays from the real exam content.
?How quickly can we get started with a tutor?+
Most families are matched with a specialist AQA Religious Studies tutor within one working day of enquiring. After matching, you book a trial session at a time that suits your family. There is no commitment required before or after that first lesson.
?Can sessions be recorded so my child can review them later?+
Yes. Every Tuitional session is recorded and saved to the student's account, accessible at any time. Students can revisit explanations of complex arguments or essay feedback before their next lesson or in the run-up to exams.
?How do sessions help with the 25-mark AQA essay questions?+
Tutors dedicate time in every session to timed past-paper practice, using AQA mark schemes to show exactly how evaluative depth, scholarly evidence, and structured argument earn marks. Students receive written feedback on each attempt so improvement is tracked lesson by lesson.
