More Than an A-Level: Building a Mind That Thinks Differently

Philosophy isn't just about learning what Plato or Sartre thought; it's about learning *how* to think. It's the ability to analyse complex arguments, construct a persuasive point, and question assumptions – the very skills that admissions tutors at the University of Exeter and other top institutions are looking for. Imagine your child confidently debating an ethical problem or deconstructing a political statement. This is the foundation for a sharp, adaptable mind, ready for university and beyond. It’s a skill that builds true academic resilience.

The Right Support for Your Child's Bright Future in Exeter

It all starts with a tutor who genuinely connects with your child. Not just as a student, but as a person. We're talking about someone who spots that flicker of understanding, who knows when to push and when to praise, and who can transform a tricky concept into a 'lightbulb' moment. It’s this partnership, built on trust and real understanding, that helps your child feel seen, heard, and truly capable. Over 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, because this kind of support changes everything. Imagine lessons that feel less like a lecture and more like a fascinating conversation. Our tutors, who are amongst the 1 in 8 that we accept, tailor every session to your child's needs. If they're struggling with logic, the tutor will use real-world examples to make it click. If they're fascinated by ethics, they'll explore modern dilemmas that make the theory come alive. This isn't about repeating classroom notes; it’s about sparking curiosity and building a deep, lasting grasp of the subject. All of this happens online, fitting seamlessly around your family's busy life in Exeter. There are no extra journeys after school or at weekends. Your child can connect with a subject specialist from anywhere in the UK, from the comfort of their own room. It’s flexible, stress-free support that gives your child access to the very best minds, not just the tutors who happen to live nearby. Finding the perfect match is simple, and it all starts today.

Shannon S
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!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Exeter. Can a tutor really help them stand out?

Absolutely. Our Philosophy tutors can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and argumentative skills that top sixth forms like Exeter School look for. It's not just about exam content; it's about nurturing a mature academic approach that makes them a compelling candidate for their chosen A-Level courses.

How does online tutoring work for a subject like Philosophy?

It's incredibly effective. Tutors use interactive whiteboards to map out arguments, share texts and articles in real-time, and engage in deep conversation via video call. It provides a focused, dynamic environment for debate and discussion, all from the comfort of your Exeter home.

With the University of Exeter on our doorstep, can tutoring prepare my child for that level of study?

Yes, completely. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching at a higher level and can introduce the kind of critical thinking and independent study skills required for Russell Group universities. They can help bridge the gap between A-Level expectations and the demands of undergraduate study.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Philosophy tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our 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 tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted to become a tutor with us. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both the subject expertise and the passion for teaching that can inspire your child.

My child's schedule is already packed. How flexible is online tutoring?

Extremely flexible. That's one of its biggest advantages. You can schedule sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's routine. There's no travel time to worry about, making it much easier to fit quality tutoring into a busy week in Exeter.

Is it just Philosophy? What if my child needs help with their university application too?

We can certainly help with that. Many of our tutors have experience guiding students through the UCAS process, including helping them structure and write compelling personal statements that reflect their academic passions and skills.

How much do online Philosophy tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. You can browse profiles to find a brilliant, experienced tutor whose rates fit your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.

What equipment do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.

Can tutoring help my child if they're already doing well but want to aim higher?

Definitely. Tutoring isn't just for catching up; it's for stretching and challenging bright students. A great tutor can introduce advanced concepts and foster a deeper love for the subject, helping your child go from good to truly excellent.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.

Is it just Philosophy? What if my child needs help with their university application too?

Yes, all our tutors are based in the UK. This ensures they are fully familiar with the UK curriculum, including specific exam boards for GCSEs and A-Levels, providing relevant and effective support for your child in Exeter.
