I would highly recommend Joanne as a tutor. She is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and she helped me understand complex concepts in a clear and engaging way as someone who is new to Sociology.

Laura W
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!

Brilliant Sociology tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child's school in Torquay has a strong vocational focus. Can tutoring help them excel in an academic subject like Sociology?
Absolutely. This is a perfect scenario for one-to-one tutoring. A specialist Sociology tutor can complement their schoolwork by providing focused academic guidance, deepening their understanding of theories and exam techniques that might be covered more quickly in a mixed-focus curriculum. It ensures they build the strong academic foundation needed for A-Levels and university.
We're worried our child might be at a disadvantage when applying to universities outside of Devon. How can a tutor help?
We hear this from many parents, and it’s a key area where our tutors can make a real difference. By working with a top tutor from anywhere in the UK, your child gains exposure to a high level of academic rigour. A tutor can help them build the analytical skills, critical thinking, and subject passion that make a UCAS application stand out, giving them the confidence and credentials to compete for places at any university they choose.
Is online tutoring really as effective as in-person tutoring?
Yes, and for many families in Torquay, it's even better. Online tutoring offers incredible flexibility and removes geographical barriers, giving your child access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors than is available locally. With interactive tools like whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging and effective, all from the comfort of your home.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're incredibly selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We accept just 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is an expert in their subject, interviewed by a real person, and has their background checked with an enhanced DBS, so you can be sure your child is in safe, capable hands.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first Sociology tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason it doesn't feel like the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help specifically with GCSE or A-Level Sociology exam technique?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the curriculum and know exactly what examiners are looking for. They can work with your child on structuring essays, honing their analytical skills, and mastering the specific techniques needed to turn their knowledge into higher marks. This is often where students see the biggest grade improvements.
How much does online Sociology tutoring cost for a student in Torquay?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 to £35 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs. A-Level). You can easily filter by price on our platform to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our purpose-built online classroom has all the tools they'll need, like an interactive whiteboard, built right in.
How flexible is scheduling? Our family life is really busy.
We designed Tutorful for busy families. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions at times that suit you, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays. It's all about making learning fit around your life, not the other way around.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
There's no single answer – it's completely dependent on your child's goals. Some students use us for a short-term boost before exams, whilst others prefer weekly sessions throughout the year to build confidence and understanding. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than Sociology?
Yes, we cover over 300 subjects! From core subjects like Maths, English, and Science to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding or music. Whatever your child is passionate about or needs help with, we have a specialist tutor ready to support them.
How much does online Sociology tutoring cost for a student in Torquay?
Of course. We're proud to have a 4.6/5 star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Reading what other parents have to say is a great way to understand the real-world impact that the right tutor can have on a child's confidence and academic progress.
