Why General Studies is a Smart Choice for Ambitious Students
Far from being a soft option, General Studies helps your child develop a crucial skillset for higher education and beyond. It teaches them how to analyse complex topics, from current affairs to scientific ethics, and construct well-reasoned arguments – skills that are essential for writing essays and performing well in interviews at leading universities like UCL or Cambridge. It’s the subject that ties all their other A-levels together, showing they can think critically and apply their knowledge to the world around them.

Personalised Support to Make Every Subject Count
Finding the right tutor is about finding a partner who understands your child’s goals. Many of our General Studies tutors are graduates from top UK universities themselves and know exactly what admissions tutors want to see. They get to know your child’s learning style and can help them connect topics in General Studies to their other subjects, for example, by linking a debate on economic policy to their Maths A-level.
Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific needs. Instead of just covering the curriculum, a tutor can focus on the areas where your child needs the most support. Whether that’s practising essay structures, preparing for a debate, or building the confidence to articulate their ideas clearly, each session is designed to deliver real, measurable progress.
With our flexible online platform, you can find the perfect tutor to fit around your family’s busy schedule. There’s no travel required, and lessons can happen whenever works for you. It’s a simple, stress-free way to give your child the dedicated support they need to shine.

Paul N
Patient and motivating tutor
I am a very experienced Chemistry and science teacher and I know I can help you achieve success in your examinations. During the first lesson, I generally like to get to know my students and ask questions which enable me to ascertain where they currently are in terms of their understanding of Chemistry or Science. I then tailor future lessons for them and build up both their subject knowledge and confidence using very simplistic models which are analogous to the more complex topics we study. My lessons are very relaxed and give my students the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in lessons. Teaching...

Hannah D
We are very grateful to Hannah for all her help and support. My son had missed a couple of months of school, so he needed extra help with Geography, and Hannah made a huge difference. She helped him catch up on the material and prepare for his mock exams with confidence.
His level improved significantly, and even his school teacher was very pleased with his progress. Hannah is an experienced and knowledgeable tutor who explains the subject clearly and effectively. She is also very friendly and pleasant to communicate with, which made the lessons enjoyable for my son.
My son truly enjoyed studying with her, and we highly recommend Hannah as a tutor!

Holly R
It's been invaluable to have Holly helping my daughter get to grips with content she found pretty daunting. Holly's helped her make incredible progress and she has been clear and concise and compelling all the way. My daughter has enjoyed the sessions, too and has emerged pretty confident about impending A-level exams, not something I expected to see at all...
