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 attends a comprehensive in Brighton. Can a tutor really help them compete for a Philosophy place at a Russell Group university?
Yes, absolutely. That’s precisely where a tutor can make a huge difference. They act as a mentor, providing the focused, one-to-one guidance on critical thinking and essay structure that complements the great teaching in schools like Dorothy Stringer. They help bridge any gaps, ensuring your child's application is as strong as any other.
Since the tutors aren't based in Brighton, how can they understand my child's needs?
Our tutors are experts in the UK curriculum, including A-Levels, regardless of location. The advantage of online tutoring is that your child in Brighton gets matched with the perfect specialist for their needs—perhaps a university lecturer or an examiner from anywhere in the UK—rather than being limited to who is available locally. The focus is on expertise, not postcode.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Philosophy tutor?
Finding the right personal fit is crucial, especially for a subject like Philosophy. We understand that. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the perfect match.
What do we actually need for an online Philosophy lesson?
It's simpler than you might think! All your child needs is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our interactive online classroom has a whiteboard and other tools that make lessons just as engaging and effective as being in the same room.
Are your tutors qualified to teach Philosophy A-Level?
Yes. We have a rigorous selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. Many of our Philosophy tutors have degrees in the subject from top universities, teaching qualifications, and extensive experience helping students excel in their A-Level exams. You can see all their qualifications listed on their profiles.
My child finds philosophical texts really dense and difficult. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common challenge. A tutor's role is to act as a guide, breaking down complex texts into manageable ideas. They can teach your child techniques for active reading, help them identify core arguments, and make thinkers like Kant or Descartes feel much less intimidating.
How flexible is the scheduling for families in Brighton?
Extremely flexible. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or during school holidays – whatever works best for your family's schedule. You're not tied to a fixed timetable.
How much do online Philosophy tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study (e.g., A-Level vs. degree level). You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Can a tutor help my child with their UCAS application and personal statement?
Many of our Philosophy tutors have experience guiding students through the UCAS process. They can be a brilliant partner in brainstorming personal statement ideas and helping your child articulate their passion for the subject in a way that stands out to admissions tutors.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every student is different, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, feeling more prepared and engaged in class.
Do the tutors follow the A-Level curriculum my child is studying?
Yes, our tutors are well-versed in the specific requirements of all major exam boards, like AQA, OCR and Edexcel. They can tailor sessions to the exact syllabus your child is studying, focusing on key thinkers, exam techniques, or specific modules they find challenging.
How flexible is the scheduling for families in Brighton?
We do! Whilst we have many Philosophy specialists, we also have tutors for everything from creative writing and coding to learning the guitar. If your child has a passion they want to explore, we can likely find an expert tutor to help guide them.
