Project Description
Course Overview
AQA Qualification Code: 7037
Geography is a fascinating and ever changing subject. It is a subject which, more than any other, empowers people to understand the earth and the complex interactions between people and places on a variety of scales.
Geography encourages enthusiasm for the world in which we live, independence of thought, and adds meaning to world events. Geographers question the world and seek to understand it, linking a variety of facts to reach reasoned answers
Geography is intrinsically valuable as part of a student’s broader education and improves their skills base. It is a much valued traditional subject, which is well respected by both universities and employers. It is a subject in its own right but is also very useful as a qualification for careers concerned with Law, Management, Accounts and Economics, The Media, Surveying, Property Development, Civil Service and Natural Sciences.

The Classroom Environment
Our online/in-person classes are small making learning more accessible for learners and gives the classroom environment a calm atmosphere to learn. Having a limited number of students in the classroom gives the students more one-on-one time with their teacher, for teachers to review students’ work, to provide feedback on what went well, and how to improve students’ work for the future.
