Brilliant Politics tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help my child prepare a competitive application for Politics at Oxford or other top universities?
Absolutely. Many of our Politics tutors are graduates from leading universities themselves and have extensive experience with the application process. They can help your child develop the deep subject knowledge, critical thinking, and essay-writing skills needed to create a standout personal statement and prepare for challenging interviews.
My child is aiming for a school like Magdalen College School. Can a tutor help them develop the necessary humanities skills?
Yes. Whilst we don't offer specific school entrance exam preparation, our tutors are experts at building the core skills that these schools look for. For Politics, this means strengthening analytical abilities, improving argumentative writing, and fostering a genuine intellectual curiosity – all of which are vital for thriving in a competitive academic environment.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a discussion-heavy subject like Politics?
It really is. Our online classroom has features like an interactive whiteboard and document sharing, making it perfect for analysing texts and planning essays together. The one-to-one format allows for focused, in-depth discussions that might not be possible in a busy classroom, ensuring your child can fully explore complex ideas with their tutor.
How do you ensure your Politics tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team to assess their subject expertise, teaching ability, and passion for helping students learn. It's why over 4,100 people have rated us 4.6/5 stars.
My child finds political theory quite abstract. How can a tutor help?
This is a common challenge, and it's where a great tutor makes all the difference. They can use real-world examples, current events, and visual aids to bring abstract concepts like socialism or liberalism to life. By connecting theory to things your child already understands, they make it feel relevant and much easier to grasp.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Politics tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial. We have our First Lesson Guarantee for exactly this reason. If you feel the first session isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
We live in Oxford. Does this mean we can only choose from tutors based in Oxfordshire?
Not at all – and that's the big advantage of online tutoring! Your child in Oxford can connect with the best Politics tutors from all over the UK. You get a much wider choice of specialists, so you can find the perfect person for your child’s specific needs, regardless of location.
How flexible is scheduling around school and other commitments?
Very flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and arrange session times that fit around your family's life. Whether it's after school, on a weekend, or during the holidays, you can find a schedule that works for you without the stress of travel.
How much do online Politics tutors for students in Oxford cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices typically start from £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control.
Can we get help with specific A-Level Politics topics, like US politics or political ideologies?
Yes, absolutely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. Whether they need to focus on a specific module, revise a tricky topic, or practise exam technique, the tutor will adapt the sessions accordingly.
Beyond Politics, what other humanities subjects do you offer?
We offer a huge range of subjects. If your child needs support in other areas like History, English Literature, Philosophy, or Economics, you can find expert online tutors for those too. We also have tutors for languages, sciences, maths, and even practical skills like coding or music.
We live in Oxford. Does this mean we can only choose from tutors based in Oxfordshire?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no special software to download. It’s designed to be intuitive and easy to use from the very first session.
