Give Your Child an Edge: Expert Online Philosophy Tutors in Hampstead
When your child is aiming for a top university like Oxbridge or UCL, every subject choice feels critical.

An experienced Philosophy tutor can help your child not only master the curriculum but also learn to articulate complex arguments with clarity and confidence.

Why A-Level Philosophy is a Mark of a Top University Candidate
Far from being a 'soft' option, Philosophy is one of the most rigorous A-Levels your child can take. It teaches them not just *what* to think, but *how* to think critically. When they're analysing Plato's Forms or deconstructing arguments in political philosophy, they're building the exact analytical and logical reasoning skills that admissions tutors for Law, PPE, and even Medicine at universities like UCL and Cambridge actively seek. This subject demonstrates a high level of intellectual curiosity and the ability to grapple with complex, abstract ideas – a clear signal to any top university that your child is a serious academic contender.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a competitive school like UCS or Highgate. Can we find a tutor familiar with that environment?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students from highly academic schools. You can view their profiles to see their background and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and the pressures of their school environment.
We're aiming for an Oxbridge or UCL application. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Yes, this is a common goal we support. Many tutors specialise in university preparation, helping students deepen their subject knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and prepare for interviews. This can be invaluable for making their application for a competitive course like PPE or Law stand out.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Philosophy tutor for my child?
You can start by filtering tutors by subject and level. Watch their intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before you book to ensure you find a great fit.
How much does online Philosophy tutoring cost in Hampstead?
The price varies depending on the tutor's experience. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is shown clearly on their profile. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, trusted tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, and we carry out a background check before they can teach on the platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel completely confident.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Philosophy?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. When a tutor explains a complex idea, like Sartre's existentialism, in a way that finally clicks, it's a huge boost.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for mapping out arguments, and a document editor for working on essays together in real-time.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding languages like Python, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their passions.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works well for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams. You can discuss the best schedule directly with your tutor.
Can a tutor help with my child's university personal statement?
Yes, many of our tutors are very experienced in helping with personal statements. They can help your child articulate their passion for Philosophy and demonstrate the analytical skills they've developed, which is crucial for a compelling application.
Is there a contract or minimum number of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or commitments. You can book lessons as you go, whether you need a one-off session to prepare for a test or regular weekly support. You are in complete control.
