A note on coursework. The A Level non-examined assessment (NEA) is the student's own work. TuitionHarbour does not write, design or complete any part of the assessed project. We teach the underlying techniques and discuss general approaches only.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you help with the A Level project at AS?
- Tuition focuses on teaching and exam preparation. We do not complete or co-author assessed coursework. We can discuss problem-solving strategies and general guidance.
