Online A-Level Philosophy Tutors
When the A-Level Philosophy reading list lands, it’s often the point you realise school has moved beyond what you can help with. It’s a big subject, full of complex ideas, and it's tough to watch your child struggle to make sense of it all on their own.
Even when you can't help with epistemology, you can still help them. You don’t need to become an expert in tutoring. Just answer a few questions in our Tutor Finder about where they need support, and we’ll match them with the right person to guide them through it.

When big ideas start to click into place
The right tutor doesn't just explain Kant or Plato. They help your child build the confidence to form their own arguments and express their ideas clearly. It's about seeing them enjoy the debate, rather than dreading the next essay.
This clarity of thought is exactly what universities look for on a UCAS application. We’ll match your child with a tutor who knows their specific exam board, so every lesson is focused on what they actually need to know for their papers.

I teach Social Science (Psychology and Sociology) Philosophy and English. My focus in a lesson plan can include work on elucidation of theories, ideas or methods, but also I cover work on writing skills and essay planning as often it is not...

Find a tutor Elizabeth H
Elisabeth is an amazing tutor! She helped me so much in preparing for my RS Alevel exams, and made me feel confident in all of the topics.
Elisabeth offered extensive guidance on how to develop the abstract concepts in RS into strong essay paragraphs. As well as how to make notes in ways that will optimise productivity and condense all of the necessary information.
Elisabeth’s knowledge in all things philosophy, religion (i did buddhism) and ethics is seemingly unlimited, which helped me get a rounded view of all of the information.
Overall i highly recommend Elisabeth as a tutor for Alevel philosophy.

Shannon is a phenomenal tutor, as well as a great advisor in learning. Working with her gave me a true passion for philosophy, as well as transforming my academic grades. I am lucky to have chosen Shannon as my OCR philosophy tutor; she went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported and confident before exams, as well as providing me with an overall mentor whenever I needed one. A lovely person to be tutored by.

Russell S
Russell helped completely change my philosophy grade in a matter of weeks! His knowledge of the course and how to write a good essay -which is what separates a c/b from an A/A* no matter how good your knowledge is - was so helpful, I went into my final exam feeling more confident than I ever had before, and left more confident than I could have imaged all due to his advice. Would recommend to anyone struggling or looking to get top top grades. Was an absolute professional and a lovely man! 10/10
