Shannon was my AQA A-Level Philosophy tutor and honestly, words cannot describe how wonderful and beneficial she was to my achievements within this subject! I was really struggling with philosophy and she helped me increase my grade significantly so I could secure a place in Durham University. She created these incredibly helpful PowerPoint presentations which simplified complex concepts into simple, coherent explanations. Also, she provided an amazing 25 marker essay structure and explained how each criteria within the mark scheme could be obtained. Shannon helped revitalise my love for philosophy, which had dwindled a due to exams and stress. I initially felt reluctant to share my opinions within my class because I felt my knowledge on philosophy was not strong enough, but, with Shannon, I felt comfortable and confident to share my opinions, question philosophers and deeply explore topics. We have had many delightful and thorough philosophical conversations and debates. I am forever grateful she was philosophy tutor! Thank you Shannon! :)

Ms. M has been absolutely fantastic. She breaks down complex topics into clear, manageable parts, making even the most challenging content much more approachable. Her ability to tie everything together across the course has really helped me deepen my understanding and develop my evaluative skills. Each session is structured and insightful, and she always offers detailed explanations that go beyond surface-level learning. I’ve come away from every lesson feeling more confident and prepared. Highly recommend!

Brilliant Philosophy tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a competitive university like Oxford. Can a tutor really help at that level?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have deep experience in what admissions tutors are looking for. They can help your child develop the critical thinking, essay writing, and argumentation skills that are essential for standing out in applications and interviews for highly selective courses.
How can online tutoring help my child feel confident amongst peers from competitive Oxford schools?
Confidence comes from competence. Our tutors provide a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By strengthening their understanding of core philosophical concepts and honing their debating skills, they'll walk into class feeling prepared, articulate, and ready to contribute, which makes all the difference.
Is online tutoring effective for a discussion-heavy subject like Philosophy?
Yes, it's brilliant for it. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard perfect for mapping out arguments, and the focused one-to-one environment encourages in-depth discussion without classroom distractions. It allows for a really concentrated and productive conversation, which is ideal for exploring complex philosophical ideas.
How do you ensure your Philosophy tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto Tutorful. They all go through a rigorous application process, including interviews and background checks, ensuring they have the subject expertise and the passion for teaching to make a real difference for your child.
How much do online Philosophy tutors for students in Oxford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
It’s so important that your child gets on well with their tutor. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. We want to make sure you find the right person.
My child needs help with A-Level Philosophy specifically. Can we find a specialist?
Yes. You can filter your search for tutors with specific experience in the A-Level curriculum, including different exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. Many of our tutors are experts in exam technique and can help your child focus on exactly what's needed to improve their grades.
How flexible is the scheduling? We have a lot of other commitments.
That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays. You agree on times directly with your tutor, so it fits around sports, clubs, and family life.
What equipment does my child need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs in your browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
Can we track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way is through open communication with your tutor. They will provide regular feedback on your child's development, highlighting areas of improvement and focusing on next steps. You can message them any time through our platform.
Does Tutorful offer tutors for other subjects, like Politics or Classics?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths and English to other humanities, languages, and even practical skills like coding or music. You can find support for all of your child's interests on our platform.
My child needs help with A-Level Philosophy specifically. Can we find a specialist?
Yes, all our tutors are based in the UK. This ensures they are familiar with the UK curriculum, including GCSEs and A-Levels, and are working in a similar time zone, making scheduling much easier for your family in Oxford.
