Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child studies Sociology in Portsmouth, but I'm worried it won't lead to a career in the local economy. How can a tutor help?

That's a common concern, and a great tutor can make all the difference. They'll help your child see how Sociology develops highly transferable skills like data analysis, critical thinking, and understanding complex organisations – all of which are valued by major local employers in defence, logistics, and public services. They can bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world application.

We live near the University of Portsmouth. Can an online tutor help my child explore options further afield?

Absolutely. That's a huge advantage of online tutoring. By connecting with tutors from across the UK – many of whom are graduates of different top universities – your child gets a much broader perspective on where their studies could take them. They can discuss university life and course options well beyond the local area, helping them feel confident about exploring opportunities nationwide.

Do your tutors understand the curriculum at Portsmouth schools like Portsmouth Grammar or Mayfield?

Yes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for GCSE and A-Levels, which forms the basis of what's taught in all English schools. Many have experience helping students from a wide range of schools and can quickly tailor their approach to support the specific syllabus and teaching style your child is familiar with.

Is online tutoring as effective for a discussion-based subject like Sociology?

It really is. Our online classroom is designed for interactive learning, with features like a shared whiteboard perfect for mapping out arguments and analysing texts together. The one-to-one focus means your child gets plenty of space to discuss ideas and build their confidence in a comfortable environment, right from home.

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

We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't feel the tutor is the perfect match, simply 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 ensure your Sociology tutors are high quality?

We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a subject specialist, DBS checked, and has their qualifications verified. We're proud that over 4,100 parents have given us a 4.6-star rating, reflecting the quality of our tutors.

How flexible are the lesson times?

Extremely flexible. You can arrange lessons for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's schedule. Because you're choosing from a UK-wide pool of tutors online, you have a much wider choice of available times than you would with a local, in-person tutor.

Can a tutor help my child prepare for their specific GCSE or A-Level exams?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors are specialists in exam preparation. They can help your child master exam technique, practise past papers, and build a deep understanding of the specific topics and assessment objectives for their exam board, whether it's AQA, OCR, or another.

How much does online Sociology tutoring cost for a student in Portsmouth?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your budget.

What technology does my child need for an online lesson?

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 is browser-based, so there's no special software to download.

Beyond Sociology, can my child learn other skills through Tutorful?

Of course. We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So, alongside academic support, your child could learn to code, play the guitar, or even study a new language. It's a great way to support all of their interests from one trusted platform.

How flexible are the lesson times?

You can get started very quickly. Simply search for Sociology tutors, filter by your needs, and message a few who seem like a good fit. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
