Why Philosophy A-Level is a Gateway to Top University Courses
Philosophy isn't just an interesting subject; it's a powerful qualification that teaches your child how to think critically, construct watertight arguments, and write with precision. These are the exact skills that admissions tutors at the UK's most competitive universities look for. Whether they're deconstructing Plato's arguments or analysing complex ethical dilemmas, your child is developing an intellectual toolkit that will serve them well in any degree and future career.

The Right Philosophy Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective—only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply make it onto our platform. A great tutor does more than just teach the syllabus; they get to know your child, understand how they learn, and adapt their methods to suit them. It’s this personal connection that helps your child feel understood and ready to tackle any challenge. Imagine a lesson focused entirely on what your child needs right now. Perhaps they're struggling to structure an essay on metaphysics or need to refine their analysis of a specific philosopher's text. In their one-to-one sessions, they have the time and expert guidance to go over these areas until they feel completely confident. This targeted support is how 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. With our online classroom, fitting lessons into your family's busy schedule is simple. There's no travel required, and you can find a tutor who is available when it works for you and your child—whether that's after college or on a weekend. It's flexible, convenient support designed for modern family life.

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 attends Brockenhurst College. Can we find a tutor familiar with the A-Level curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced A-Level teachers and examiners. You can view their profiles to see their specific experience with the OCR, AQA, or Edexcel exam boards and even message them before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for the curriculum your child is studying.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Southampton. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. Our tutors can help your child develop the high-level critical thinking and essay-writing skills that top universities like Southampton and Bristol look for. They can help your child learn how to craft arguments that go beyond the textbook to demonstrate the kind of independent thought that makes an application stand out.
How do I choose the right Philosophy tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and message tutors directly to ask about their experience with the A-Level syllabus. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What happens if we don't click with the first Philosophy tutor we try?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in such a difficult subject?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to say, 'I don't get it,' without any classroom pressure. Tutors can break down complex ideas, like epistemology, into manageable parts and celebrate small wins, which gradually builds the self-belief they need to excel.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does online Philosophy tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for mapping out arguments, and a space to share documents like essays or past papers. It's a collaborative tool that makes online learning feel just as personal as being in the same room.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with a coding language like Python, or prepare for their 11+, you can find an expert tutor for them on Tutorful.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor and arrange shorter or longer sessions if you prefer.
Can we get help with specific topics my child finds hard?
Of course. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is finding a particular area, like metaphysics or political philosophy, especially tricky, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to breaking it down and working through practice questions.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you find a tutor you like, you can book your first session directly from their calendar at a time that suits you both.
