Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for Durham Johnston's sixth form. Can a tutor help with the specific GCSE grades they'll need in Sociology?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the grades required for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific exam board your child's school uses, work on exam technique, and build their confidence to help them secure the results they need to progress.

With Durham University so close, the pressure is high. Can tutors help with applications to Russell Group universities?

Yes, many of our tutors are Russell Group graduates themselves and have extensive experience supporting students with their university applications. They can help your child develop the deep subject knowledge and analytical skills that make a UCAS personal statement stand out.

Is online tutoring as effective as meeting in person?

We believe it’s even better. Online tutoring gives your child in Durham access to a far wider pool of expert tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. With interactive whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging, plus they offer the flexibility to fit around your family's life.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous interview process to ensure they have the subject expertise and the passion for teaching that can inspire your child.

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

Finding the right personality match is essential. If for any reason the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person for your child.

How much do online Sociology tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.

What topics within Sociology can a tutor help with?

Our tutors cover the full breadth of the Sociology curriculum for GCSE and A-Level, from families and households, crime and deviance, to education and social stratification. They can tailor sessions to the specific topics your child finds most challenging.

What equipment does my child need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has everything else they need, including an interactive whiteboard and document sharing.

Can we get a tutor for subjects other than Sociology?

Of course. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths and English to languages, music, and even coding. We're here to support your child's entire learning journey.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?

Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, this is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions more frequently during exam periods or less often for general support – it’s entirely up to you and your tutor.

Can a tutor help my child with their essay writing skills?

Yes, this is one of the most common areas where our Sociology tutors provide support. They can help your child structure arguments, use evidence effectively, and develop the clear, analytical writing style that examiners are looking for.

What topics within Sociology can a tutor help with?

You can get started right away. Simply search for Sociology tutors on our website, compare profiles, and send a message to the ones you like. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first session booked for this week.
