Lina H
Professional and inspiring Politics and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends a competitive South London school. How can a tutor help them stand out for Politics at universities like LSE or King's?

That's a great question, and a common goal for many families. Our tutors, many of whom are university academics or postgraduates themselves, specialise in this. They work with students to develop a deeper analytical style that goes beyond the A-Level syllabus, helping them craft nuanced arguments, engage with wider reading, and articulate their ideas with the kind of maturity that top university admissions tutors look for.

How can an online tutor help my child connect political theories to the social issues they see in South London?

This is one of the biggest advantages of one-to-one online tutoring. A tutor can use local examples—from borough council decisions to community action groups in areas like Brixton or Peckham—as live case studies. This makes abstract theories feel immediate and relevant, helping your child build a powerful, evidence-based understanding of how politics works in the real world.

Is online tutoring for a subject like Politics as engaging as a face-to-face discussion?

Absolutely. Our online classroom is designed for dynamic conversation. With features like an interactive whiteboard for mapping out arguments and easy document sharing for analysing sources, it's a fantastic environment for the kind of deep-dive discussions Politics requires. Plus, your child learns from the comfort of their own space, where they often feel more relaxed and ready to share their ideas.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Politics tutor?

Finding the right personality fit is everything, and we completely understand that. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason it doesn't feel like the perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

My child is also studying History and Economics. Can we find a tutor who understands these overlaps?

Yes, many of our Politics tutors have multi-disciplinary backgrounds and are brilliant at helping students see the connections between subjects. When you search, you can view their full profiles and often find specialists in Political History or Political Economy. This can be incredibly helpful for building a more holistic understanding.

Who are the Politics tutors and how are they vetted?

Our tutors are subject-matter experts from across the UK, including university lecturers, experienced teachers, and high-achieving graduates from top universities. We have a rigorous selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. Every tutor is interviewed, has their qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check to ensure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How long are online Politics sessions and how often should they be?

Most families find a one-hour session per week is ideal, especially during term time, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor. Some students might have longer sessions or increase the frequency in the run-up to exams.

How will I know if the tutoring is making a real difference?

You'll see it in a few ways. Firstly, in their confidence – they might start talking about current affairs with more authority or tackling their essays with less hesitation. Tutors provide regular feedback on progress, and of course, the ultimate proof is in their improved analysis, stronger arguments, and better school reports and exam results.

Do we need any special software for online lessons?

No, all you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. All our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which you access directly through your web browser. It's simple and secure.

Can we find a tutor who specialises in my child's A-Level exam board?

Yes. Tutors list the specific exam boards they have experience with (like AQA, Edexcel, or OCR) on their profiles. This is crucial for Politics, as the content and exam styles can vary. Finding a specialist ensures your child is getting the most relevant and effective preparation.

How much does online Politics tutoring for a student in South London cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price when you search to find a fantastic tutor who fits your family's budget.

How long are online Politics sessions and how often should they be?

The biggest benefit is choice. Instead of being limited to tutors who can travel to you in South London, your child gets access to a UK-wide network of specialists. They could be learning from a policy expert in Manchester or a university researcher in Bristol—the person who is the absolute best fit for their needs, all without leaving home.
