Ethan G
I have been working with Ethan for a couple of months now and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His calm, friendly manner immediately made learning both engaging and enjoyable.
One of the many things that sets Ethan apart is the depth of his knowledge. Not only does he have an exceptional understanding of the A-level Politics spec, but he also brings in wider real-world context and insights that make the subject far more interesting and meaningful.
He has been particularly outstanding in helping me develop my essay writing. Ethan has taken the time to guide me through essays line-by-line, showing me exactly how to structure high-level answers and refine my arguments. His experience and clarity in explaining what examiners are really looking for has completely transformed my approach to essays, and as a result I am now consistently achieving high A grades.
On top of all of this, he genuinely cares about helping his students succeed. He regularly goes above and beyond what is expected of a tutor, always taking extra time to make sure I fully understand the material and giving incredibly thoughtful, detailed feedback.
Working with Ethan has been one of the most valuable parts of my A-level Politics preparation, and I would recommend him without any doubt.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a very competitive Kingston school like Tiffin. Can an online tutor keep up with the fast pace?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students in high-achieving environments. They can tailor sessions to match and extend the school curriculum, helping your child consolidate their learning, explore topics in greater depth, and build the confidence to contribute effectively in a fast-paced classroom.
Many students in Kingston upon Thames aim for top universities. How can a Politics tutor help with this?
Our Politics tutors, many of whom are Russell Group graduates themselves, excel at this. They help students develop the critical analysis and essay-writing skills that top universities demand. They can also provide guidance on personal statements and interview preparation, helping your child's application truly stand out.
Is online tutoring as effective for a discussion-based subject like Politics as meeting in person?
Yes, and it often works even better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards and screen-sharing tools perfect for analysing sources and planning essays together. Crucially, it gives your child in Kingston upon Thames access to a far wider range of specialists from across the UK than would be available locally.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Politics tutor?
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 first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you vet your Politics tutors?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed by a subject specialist, has their qualifications verified, and undergoes a background check. We ensure they are not only experts in Politics but also brilliant, inspiring teachers.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in my child's specific A-Level exam board?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can check a tutor's profile for their specific expertise or use our search filters to find the perfect match for your child's course requirements.
How much do online Politics tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Very. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. You can schedule lessons directly with your chosen tutor.
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 online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time through the platform. The real proof, however, is in the change you'll see in your child – in their growing confidence, their improved grades, and their newfound enthusiasm for the subject.
My child is interested in more than just school subjects. Do you offer other types of tutoring?
Yes, we do. We have tutors for over 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths and English to music, languages, coding, and even public speaking. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and personal development alongside their schoolwork.
How much do online Politics tutors cost?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from a shorter or longer lesson.
