Turning General Studies into a Real Advantage for University
Far from being a 'soft' option, General Studies develops the exact skills that admissions tutors want to see. It teaches your child how to analyse complex topics, build a strong argument, and articulate their ideas clearly. These abilities are essential for writing a compelling personal statement and thriving in any demanding degree course. A great tutor helps your child showcase these skills, giving them a genuine edge in their application.

Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive London university. Can a tutor help their application stand out?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with UCAS applications, including personal statements and interview preparation. They can help your child articulate the critical thinking and analytical skills gained from General Studies to appeal to admissions tutors at top universities.
We live in Forest Hill and are looking at top local sixth forms. Can a tutor help prepare for that?
Yes, they can. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child build the strong academic profile needed for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening key skills, improving grades, and building the confidence needed to succeed.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality that will click with your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have a 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 General Studies tutor specifically help my child's UCAS application?
A specialist tutor can help your child identify the transferable skills from General Studies—like debate, analysis, and research—and weave them into their personal statement. They can turn what might seem like a supplementary subject into a key part of their academic story.
Are the tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply to ensure the highest quality.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your family's budget.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's simple to use and designed to make learning online feel just as personal as being in the same room.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child overcome hurdles and see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster. It's a key reason why over 200,000 students have loved learning with us.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for skills and hobbies like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even public speaking. There's a huge range of subjects to explore.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You and your child's tutor can agree on a schedule that works best for your goals and your family's routine.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
It's easy. You can arrange a new time directly with your tutor through our messaging system. Our tutors understand that life can be unpredictable and are usually very flexible.
