Why Your PGCE Degree Opens Doors

Learning how to teach effectively equips you with the skills you need to teach the next generation. What you develop during your PGCE, from curriculum planning to inclusive teaching practices, are highly valued by schools across the UK. Successfully completing your PGCE gives you both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge you need to teach effectively in the UK and make a positive impact on students' lives. In addition, the better your knowledge of these concepts and the more you can prove your ability to put them into practise, the better you will perform in placements and the more likely you will be to secure your ideal teaching position.

Personalised PGCE Support That Works for You

A PGCE tutor can help you to navigate the challenges of your teaching programme and guide you through any parts of the material you’re finding particularly difficult or challenging. Your tutor will adapt their approach to your learning style, making sure you get the most out of every session. Many of our PGCE tutors hold postgraduate qualifications and have successfully completed the very same modules you're tackling, putting them in the best place to help you. At Tutorful, we accept just 1 in 8 applicants and all tutors undergo background checks.
One-to-one tutoring offers a level of focused learning that you don’t get from lectures or group classes. Whether you're mastering behaviour management techniques, refining lesson planning skills, or preparing for teaching placements and observations, a tutor can focus on exactly what you need most. This personalised attention builds confidence and helps you achieve your academic goals.
Finding the right PGCE tutor is straightforward with Tutorful. You can connect with experienced tutors online at times that fit around your busy schedule of lectures, placements, and assignment deadlines. Our bespoke virtual classroom includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing, to make online sessions just as effective as in-person tutoring, with the extra benefit of learning from home. Learning from home means avoiding travel time between placements and lessons, being able to truly relax during your session, and get the most out of your tutoring hours.

How can a tutor help me with a specific PGCE module?

A tutor provides targeted support in areas where you're struggling. They can help you understand complex educational theories, develop effective lesson plans, prepare for teaching placements, and improve your assignment writing skills.

I'm a mature student on a PGCE programme, can tutoring fit around my schedule?

Many of our tutors offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate busy lifestyles, including evenings and weekends. This makes it easier to fit tutoring around placements, lectures, and family or work commitments.

When's the best time to start tutoring during the semester?

Starting early when you first notice you're struggling with a particular topic or module can prevent you from becoming overwhelmed. However, tutors can provide valuable support at any point, including with intensive study before placements or assignment deadlines.

Do you only offer online tutoring?

Tutorful primarily offers online tutoring, which provides flexibility and convenience. You can learn from home, which is particularly helpful when balancing the demands of school placements with your studies.

How much does PGCE tutoring cost?

Tutoring costs vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find support that fits your budget. Consider it an investment in your teaching career.

Can I choose my own tutor?

You have complete control over choosing your tutor. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other students, and choose a tutor whose teaching style and experience match your needs.

What can I expect during a PGCE tutoring session?

Sessions are focused and personalised. Your tutor will work with you to identify your strengths and areas for development, then create a plan to help you achieve your goals. This might include working through lesson planning, discussing classroom management strategies, reviewing assignment drafts, or preparing for placement observations.
