Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Is GCSE Media Studies a 'serious' subject that colleges respect?

Absolutely! While it’s creative and engaging, GCSE Media Studies is a rigorous academic subject. It develops critical thinking, research, and analytical skills - similar to humanities subjects. Colleges and sixth forms value the insights it gives into media, society, and communication, making it a strong foundation for A-Levels and future study.

How can a tutor help with tricky theory like semiotics or ideology?

Year 10 introduces some complex ideas, but a Media Studies tutor makes them clear and relatable. They break down concepts like semiotics, narratology, or hegemony using examples from everyday media, helping your child understand and confidently apply these ideas in essays, analyses, and exams.

How does tutoring support the NEA (practical project)?

The NEA project can feel overwhelming. A tutor guides your child through every stage - from brainstorming and planning to production and evaluation. They’ll help manage the workload, ensure all criteria are met, and offer tips for using accessible tools without expensive software. This reduces stress and keeps the project on track alongside other subjects.

What’s the difference between Media Studies and Film Studies?

Media Studies is broader, covering newspapers, advertising, radio, video games, social media, and film, while Film Studies focuses specifically on film as an art form and industry. A tutor can clarify the differences and provide guidance tailored to your child’s specific syllabus.

How do tutors handle sensitive topics like politics or representation?

Our tutors are experienced at teaching sensitive topics in a fair and balanced way. They encourage critical thinking, showing different perspectives and how media shapes viewpoints—without promoting any single opinion. This ensures your child has a thoughtful and well-rounded learning experience.

My child focuses on the practical project. How can a tutor help with written exams?

Tutors ensure exam preparation isn’t overlooked. They create balanced study plans, help memorise key theories and set texts, guide essay writing, and show how to structure analytical responses for top marks. This way, both the practical and written elements of the course are given attention.
