How A-Level Politics Prepares Your Child for Success
A-Level Politics is more than just learning about government; it teaches your child how to think critically, build a strong argument, and understand the world around them. These skills are essential for standing out in university applications, particularly for sought-after courses in Law, PPE, or International Relations at top universities like Southampton or Surrey. By mastering how to analyse political ideologies or evaluate government policies, they're not just preparing for an exam – they're building a foundation for a successful future.

We're aiming for a place at the University of Southampton or Surrey. Can a tutor help with this?

Some tutors also offer guidance on personal statements and interview preparation.

Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way to discuss your child's goals and see if their teaching style is a good fit before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Politics tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in Politics is low?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child’s self-belief.

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's needs. Most families start with one lesson a week, especially during term time. You can easily discuss what works best with your chosen tutor and adjust the frequency whenever you need to.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Politics?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or learning a new language.
