Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can an online tutor help my child prepare for the thinking skills required by schools like Tiffin or Kingston Grammar?

Absolutely. Many of our Philosophy tutors specialise in developing the exact critical thinking, logic, and analytical reasoning skills that selective schools in the Kingston area look for. They can help your child learn how to structure arguments, analyse texts, and articulate complex ideas with confidence, which is invaluable for entrance exams and interviews.

My child is aiming for a competitive university. How can Philosophy tutoring strengthen their application?

Universities, especially top-tier ones, value students who can demonstrate independent, rigorous thought. Philosophy tutoring hones these skills. It shows an intellectual curiosity beyond the syllabus and equips your child with the analytical abilities needed to write a compelling personal statement and excel in challenging university interviews.

Is online tutoring really as effective for a discussion-based subject like Philosophy?

Yes, and in many ways, it's even better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for mapping out arguments, and the one-to-one focus of a video call allows for deep, uninterrupted conversation and debate. It provides a focused environment where your child can feel comfortable exploring and challenging complex ideas with their tutor.

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

We know that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. If the first session with a tutor isn't quite right, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the perfect match.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, has their qualifications and ID verified, and must have a valid DBS background check. We choose tutors who are not only subject experts but also passionate and caring mentors.

Does my child have to be studying Philosophy A-Level to get a tutor?

Not at all. Philosophy tutoring is fantastic for any student wanting to improve their critical thinking, essay writing, and debating skills, which are transferable to many other subjects like English, History, and Politics. It's also great for general intellectual curiosity!

How much do online Philosophy lessons cost for a student in Kingston-upon-Thames?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

How flexible is the scheduling?

Very. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or during school holidays – whatever works around your family's commitments. You're not limited to local availability; you have access to tutors across the UK with a wide range of schedules.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform has a built-in online classroom with all the tools your child will need for their lesson.

Can we find a tutor to focus on a specific area, like metaphysics or political philosophy?

Yes. Many of our tutors have specialisms from their own degree-level studies. You can check their profiles for specific expertise or message them before booking to ask if they can help with a particular topic your child is struggling with or interested in.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them anytime through the platform. The biggest sign of progress, however, is often the change you'll see in your child – in their confidence, their willingness to tackle tricky questions, and their newfound enthusiasm for complex ideas.

How much do online Philosophy lessons cost for a student in Kingston-upon-Thames?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! From core academic subjects like Maths, English, and the Sciences, to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding, music, or art. Whatever your child's passion or area of need, we can help find a specialist tutor.
