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's school in Lincoln is very focused on STEM. How can Philosophy tutoring help them?
That's a common concern for many parents. Philosophy tutoring is a brilliant way to complement a STEM-focused education. It develops crucial critical thinking, logic, and analytical reasoning skills that are highly valued in scientific and technical fields. It encourages them to think about the 'why' behind the 'what', making them more rounded, thoughtful students.
Can an online tutor help prepare my child for a humanities course at the University of Lincoln?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced essay writing, argumentation, and analytical skills needed to create a strong application and prepare them for the rigours of degree-level study, whether at the University of Lincoln or elsewhere.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?
Yes, and for many families in Lincoln, it's even better. Online sessions offer the same dedicated, one-to-one focus but with far more flexibility. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, and you get access to a much wider choice of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your Philosophy tutors are high quality?
We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has proven expertise in their subject. This ensures your child is learning from a knowledgeable and inspiring educator.
What A-Level or GCSE Philosophy topics can a tutor help with?
Our tutors can cover the full range of topics across all major exam boards, including Epistemology (theory of knowledge), Moral Philosophy, Metaphysics, and the specific texts of thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant. They can tailor sessions to the exact syllabus your child is studying.
My child struggles with writing structured essays. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. This is one of the most common areas where tutors can make a huge difference. They can work with your child on planning, structuring arguments, using evidence, and writing with clarity and precision – essential skills for Philosophy and almost every other subject.
How much do online Philosophy lessons cost?
The price of a lesson varies 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, and you can find brilliant tutors to suit a range of budgets.
What do we need to get started with online tutoring?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools they'll need, including an interactive whiteboard, to make lessons engaging and productive.
Can we get help with subjects other than Philosophy?
Of course. We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like maths and English to languages, coding, and musical instruments. Whatever your child is passionate about or needs help with, we have a tutor who can support them.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Simply browse our selection of Philosophy tutors, send messages to those you like, and book your first session directly from their calendar. Many families are able to find the perfect tutor and have their first lesson within 24-48 hours.
My child struggles with writing structured essays. Can a tutor help?
We understand that family life is busy. Rescheduling is easy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or rearrange a lesson without any charge. You can manage all your bookings from your Tutorful account.
