Whether your teenager is beginning Year 12 or entering their final Year 13, the Geography A* Blueprint provides structured, examiner led support from September through to the final examinations in June.
The Discovery Call is the first step. During the call we discuss your teenager’s current position, academic goals, university ambitions and whether the Geography A* Blueprint is the right pathway for them.

A Quiet Standard of Excellence
This is a considered strategy session — not a sales call. Thirty unhurried minutes spent understanding your teenager's position and mapping the most effective route from where they are now to where they want to be.
“Parents leave the call with clarity — regardless of whether they decide to join the programme.”
The Geography A* Blueprint runs from September to June in two carefully designed strands. Both are taught live by Geography specialists and shaped around your teenager's exam board.
September → June
One live class each week
Designed for students beginning A Level Geography who want to build excellent habits from the very start. Ideal for ambitious students targeting Russell Group or Oxbridge.
September → June
Two live classes every week
Designed for students entering their final A Level year. Year 13 requires a different approach because predicted grades, UCAS and final examinations all happen within the same academic year — the Intensive Programme is built around that reality.
We do not list features for their own sake. Each part of the Blueprint is here because it answers a specific question parents and students consistently ask.
Because students remain accountable every week — not just before exams.
We focus on a single topic each month so students build depth rather than skim the specification.
Homework is paired with carefully chosen resources for content revision at home — videos, readings and notes that consolidate the topic.
Live class time is spent on the exam questions themselves — structure, command words, mark schemes and the technique that wins marks.
Because teaching must follow the exact specification your child actually sits.
So every student receives meaningful interaction in every lesson.
Students never wonder what they should be doing next.
This is not a revision course. It is a complete academic mentoring programme.
Question styles, command words, mark schemes and assessment objectives differ significantly between boards. Teaching on the Geography A* Blueprint reflects those differences precisely — because the marks a student wins or loses live in those distinctions.
The Geography A* Blueprint is founded by Freya Ruparel and delivered by Hannah, a senior Geography specialist and practising examiner across every major exam board.
Founder
“Freya founded Olympus Geography to give A Level students the structured, examiner led mentoring she wished had existed when she was sitting her own exams — and personally designs the curriculum and academic standards of every Blueprint cohort.”
Lead Tutor & Examiner
“Hannah teaches every live Blueprint class. She brings a calm, considered teaching style and the inside view of an examiner — and her students consistently say her feedback transformed how they understand the question on the page.”
Year after year, Olympus Geography students walk into their final examinations prepared, calm and confident — and onward to the universities they hoped for.
Freya helped me find my voice in essays. I went from a high C to an A* in twelve months — but more importantly I finally understood what the question was actually asking.
Honestly the best decision we made for our daughter in sixth form. The weekly structure took the stress out of our house completely.
Working through real exam questions every session showed me exactly where I was losing marks. By March I knew the mark scheme almost as well as the examiners did.
I joined in Year 12 not really knowing if Geography was for me. By the end of Year 13 I was applying to Oxford.
Hannah's essay feedback was the single biggest thing that changed my grade. Every comment was specific. Nothing was generic.
We chose the Blueprint because we wanted a programme that lasted the whole year, not a panic course in May. It was the right call.
University Destinations
If a parent has asked it, the answer is below. If anything remains uncertain, the Discovery Call is the place to talk it through.
Most classes run between 6 pm and 8 pm on weekday evenings, deliberately scheduled so they sit comfortably after the school day and around school commitments.
Yes. Every class is taught live by a specialist Geography tutor. Live teaching is non-negotiable for us — it is the moment students ask questions, refine answers and stay accountable.
Yes. Every live lesson is recorded and made available to enrolled students so they can revisit any moment, review challenging material or catch up if they miss a class.
Cohorts are deliberately small — fewer than ten students per class. This ensures every student receives meaningful interaction, individual attention and personalised feedback across the year.
We focus on one topic each month. Homework is set with curated resources — readings, videos and notes — so students revise the content at home, and our live sessions are kept free to focus on exam questions and technique.
We recommend students spend two to four focused hours each week on Blueprint work outside of lessons — working through the homework resources, consolidating content and practising exam questions.
Students access the recording, the slides and the homework brief. Where helpful, tutors will check in to ensure understanding before the following lesson.
Each month is built around one topic. Content revision is done independently through the homework resources we provide, and live sessions are dedicated to exam questions — modelling answers, refining technique and working against the mark scheme.
Yes — within reason. We accept later joiners on a case by case basis, depending on cohort size and how confidently a student can be brought up to speed. The Discovery Call will clarify whether this is appropriate.
Parents receive detailed progress reports each term covering attendance, assessment performance, topic mastery and attitude to learning. We also send parent updates after every monthly assessment so you are never left guessing. We believe in honest, considered communication rather than dashboards full of noise.
Every lesson is recorded with slides and resources available immediately. Students can watch the recording, complete the homework and rejoin the live class the following week. Tutors also check in proactively if they notice a student is struggling, and we are happy to arrange a brief catch-up call to get them back on track.
Yes. While the 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.
A laptop or tablet, a stable internet connection and a quiet place to work. That is genuinely all that is required.
Yes. Students can ask questions about homework, essays and content between lessons. We are not a self-study platform — we are a mentoring programme.
Yes. Students are taught in groups aligned to their specification, so the teaching matches the precise paper they will sit.
Motivated A Level Geography students who want structured, expert support across the full academic year — typically aiming for strong A or A* grades and competitive university destinations.
Yes — 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 Blueprint is built precisely for that distinction.
Yes, provided the student is motivated and willing to work. We have taken students up four grades and more before. We will be honest on the Discovery Call about realistic outcomes and what would need to happen between September and June.
It is a complimentary thirty minute call with our team. We discuss your teenager's current position, ambitions and challenges, then map a clear way forward.
If the Blueprint is the right fit, we explain enrolment clearly and simply. If it is not, you leave with a clear, written summary of the next steps your teenager should take.
The Discovery Call is designed to give your family clarity. You will understand where your teenager is now, where they need to be and the most effective route between those two points.
If the Geography A* Blueprint is the right fit, we will explain exactly how it works. If it is not, you will still leave with a clear understanding of the next steps your teenager should take.
September cohorts are intentionally kept small to maximise interaction, personalised feedback and academic support.
