Building the Skills That Top Universities Value

Subjects like General Studies are designed to develop the very skills that admissions tutors look for: critical thinking, clear communication, and the ability to form a strong argument. It’s not just about what your child knows, but how they think. A great tutor helps them connect ideas, analyse sources on topics from current affairs to ethics, and articulate their thoughts clearly. These are the skills that will make their personal statement shine and help them excel in interviews, strengthening their entire university application.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is applying to competitive London universities. Can a tutor help strengthen their application?

Absolutely. A tutor can provide invaluable support with the whole UCAS process. They can help your child refine their personal statement to showcase their skills, practise interview techniques, and build a deep understanding of their subjects that goes beyond the textbook, helping them stand out to admissions tutors.

We live in Catford and are looking at local sixth forms. Can a tutor help with this transition?

Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students make the leap to A-Levels. They can help bridge any knowledge gaps from GCSEs and introduce the independent study skills needed to succeed in sixth form, building a strong foundation for the next two years.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.

How much does online tutoring cost in Catford?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.

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

We know how important the right fit is. 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 does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home.

Are your tutors safe and background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you get the highest quality support.

My child feels quite anxious about their studies. How can a tutor help?

A one-to-one environment is perfect for building confidence. Our tutors create a relaxed, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help turn anxiety into achievement.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond the school curriculum, you can find tutors for everything from coding and public speaking to learning a musical instrument like the guitar. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests.

How quickly can we expect to see results?

Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and achieve long-term progress.

Can a tutor help specifically with exam technique?

Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. They can teach your child how to manage their time in an exam, structure their answers effectively, and understand exactly what examiners are looking for to maximise their marks.

How do I book a lesson?

It's easy. Just search for your subject, find a tutor you like, and send them a message to arrange a time that works for you. You can then book and pay securely through the platform. Many tutors offer a trial session to get started.
