Online A-Level Philosophy Tutors
It’s hard to help when your child is grappling with ideas from Plato to Sartre. You can see they’re bright, but their essays aren’t quite hitting the mark, and the concepts can feel impenetrable.
Even when you cannot help with the subject, you can still help them. Our Tutor Finder does the work for you. By asking a few simple questions about your child and what they need, we can find the right person to make sense of it all.

From confusing concepts to confident arguments
The right tutor helps your child do more than just remember names and dates. They learn to take apart complex arguments, question assumptions, and build their own logical, well-structured points. It is a skill that builds real confidence.
This clarity of thought is exactly what examiners look for in A-Level essays, and it’s invaluable for university. We’ll match your child to a tutor who knows their specific exam board, ensuring every lesson supports what they’re learning at school.

Find a tutor Elizabeth H
Elisabeth is an amazing tutor! She helped me so much in preparing for my RS Alevel exams, and made me feel confident in all of the topics.
Elisabeth offered extensive guidance on how to develop the abstract concepts in RS into strong essay paragraphs. As well as how to make notes in ways that will optimise productivity and condense all of the necessary information.
Elisabeth’s knowledge in all things philosophy, religion (i did buddhism) and ethics is seemingly unlimited, which helped me get a rounded view of all of the information.
Overall i highly recommend Elisabeth as a tutor for Alevel philosophy.

Shannon is a phenomenal tutor, as well as a great advisor in learning. Working with her gave me a true passion for philosophy, as well as transforming my academic grades. I am lucky to have chosen Shannon as my OCR philosophy tutor; she went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported and confident before exams, as well as providing me with an overall mentor whenever I needed one. A lovely person to be tutored by.

Russell S
Russell helped completely change my philosophy grade in a matter of weeks! His knowledge of the course and how to write a good essay -which is what separates a c/b from an A/A* no matter how good your knowledge is - was so helpful, I went into my final exam feeling more confident than I ever had before, and left more confident than I could have imaged all due to his advice. Would recommend to anyone struggling or looking to get top top grades. Was an absolute professional and a lovely man! 10/10
