Laura has been a wonderful support for my daughter throughout her A level sociology course. Lessons were tailored to support her learning needs and the additional information that Laura provided was invaluable. Laura is a kind, caring and diligent tutor who I would not hesitate to recommend. She cares about her students and offers positive support and guidance - often going beyond the tutorial time to mark additional work and offer advice. Thank you Laura for everything - particularly inspiring Al to study sociology at university and helping her to achieve a grade well above what she was predicted!

We are incredibly grateful to have found such a dedicated and inspiring tutor. He is not only enthusiastic and kind, but also a genuinely lovely person who brings energy and positivity to every lesson. His teaching style makes learning enjoyable and engaging, and my daughter has flourished under his guidance.
He has went above and beyond to help her tackle challenging topics throughout her course, always providing thoughtful explanations and incredibly useful resources for exam revision. Thanks to his support and commitment, my daughter has already achieved an A* halfway through the course!
We deeply appreciate the time, effort, and care he has invested in her progress. I would wholeheartedly and immensely recommend him to any sociology student seeking exceptional support. We truly cannot thank him enough.

Anna is by far the best tutor that I have ever had! She's extremely dedicated as she made sure that I had a lesson the night before and morning of my exams. Anna is also really understanding and adapts her style of teaching to you. This made my confidence in sociology grow so much and has enabled me to get into my top uni choice. I will genuinely miss our sociology lessons so much and I can't recommend her enough!x

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for universities like Reading or Southampton?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their UCAS applications. They can focus on developing the specific essay-writing and analytical skills that top social science courses require, helping your child aim for the grades they need.
My child is at Queen Mary's College. Can a tutor help them keep up in such a competitive environment?
Definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in A-Level support and understand the pressure students can face. They provide a dedicated, one-to-one space for your child to consolidate their learning, ask questions they might not in class, and build the confidence to excel.
How do I choose the right Sociology tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific goals and see if their approach feels like a good fit for your family.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child with their A-Level Sociology essays?
This is one of the most common areas where tutors can help. They can show your child how to structure a compelling argument, analyse and apply sociological evidence effectively, and refine their writing to meet the examiner's criteria, which can make a huge difference to their grade.
How much does an online Sociology tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. Your child and their tutor can share documents, edit essays in real-time, and work through problems together, just as they would in person.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can often find and book a tutor for a lesson within 48 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat, allowing you to meet them first and ensure they're the right fit before you commit to a paid session.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Building confidence is at the heart of what we do. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace and see their skills improve. This often translates into greater confidence back in the classroom.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like Sociology, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, code in Python, or master a new language, we can help.
Will my child's grades actually improve?
We see fantastic results for our students. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our personalised approach helps target the specific areas where your child needs the most support, leading to real progress.
