About this site

alevelsociologytutor.com is run by aleveltutors.online Limited, an A-level tutoring business with a small team of specialist tutors. The site exists to give AQA sociology students the past-paper material they actually use, sorted the way they revise, free and without sign-up; and to introduce students who want more help to a tutor who teaches the AQA specification every week.

Where the material comes from

• Questions, mark schemes and examiner comments are from AQA's own published papers for every Sociology series since June 2016 (7192 A level and 7191 AS): 48 papers and 612 question parts. Each part has been tagged to the specification statement it assesses, its assessment objectives and its question type. AQA no longer hosts the June 2016–2019 papers; those come from copies of AQA's original PDFs and are marked on the site.
• Difficulty ratings are given only where an examiners' report prints the average mark on a question, which AQA's Sociology reports rarely do, so most parts are unrated.
• Key-term cards and topic notes are written by our tutors and are original; nothing derived from AQA's material is generated automatically.
• Grade boundaries and exam dates are AQA's published figures.

Who writes it

The tutoring is by Mark, a former AQA examiner with over 25 years of A-level Sociology teaching who leads a large sociology department; see the tutor page. The site is built and maintained by the same small team that runs alevelbiologytutor.com, mathsaleveltutor.com, alevelpsychologytutor.com and economicsaleveltutor.com.
