Engaging Philosophy Tutor
I’m an experienced and engaging tutor based in the Edinburgh area, available for in-person and online tutoring. I come from a family of teachers and lecturers, so education is in my blood. Whatever you’re struggling with, whether it’s essay writing, grammar, reading or comprehension, I can help! I studied English literature at Cambridge and graduated in 2019 with a First Class degree and two scholarships. I then studied poetry in the United States for a year, and I’m now back in the U.K. doing a PhD in English Lit and Creative Writing. I have experience tutoring English GCSE and A Level to stud...
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!

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 goes to Aberdeen Grammar and wants to study Philosophy at a top university. Can a tutor help them compete?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They act as mentors, helping students develop the sophisticated critical thinking and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors look for. They can work with your child on articulating complex arguments clearly and confidently, giving them the edge they need.
Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum for Highers or Advanced Highers?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced with the SQA curriculum, including Highers and Advanced Highers. When you search, you can filter for tutors with specific experience to find the perfect partner for your child's studies in Aberdeen.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It offers all the benefits of face-to-face tuition, with the added advantage that your child can learn from the best UK tutors from the comfort of your Aberdeen home.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
It’s really important that your child has a great relationship 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're here to help you find the right match.
How do you ensure your Philosophy tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants are successful. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven expertise in their subject. We look for passionate educators who know how to make complex topics engaging and accessible.
What if my child has never studied Philosophy before?
That's a perfect time to start! A tutor can introduce them to the core concepts in a fun and engaging way, building a strong foundation and sparking a real passion for the subject. It’s a fantastic way to develop critical thinking skills, regardless of their school subjects.
How much do online Philosophy lessons for a student in Aberdeen cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can view each tutor's price on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How often should my child have a session?
Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions more or less frequently depending on your child's needs, whether it's ongoing support or intensive revision before an exam.
Can tutoring help with specific philosophical texts or thinkers?
Yes, definitely. Whether it's getting to grips with Plato's Republic, Kant's moral philosophy, or modern existentialists, your tutor can create tailored sessions to break down the specific texts and ideas your child finds most challenging.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them anytime. The biggest sign, though, is often a change in your child's confidence. You'll start to see them engaging in complex discussions, articulating their own views, and feeling more prepared for class.
We have a really busy schedule with other activities. Is online tutoring flexible?
It's one of the main reasons families love it. You're not restricted by travel time or local availability. You can schedule sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your busy life, making it much easier to fit in that extra support.
