How General Studies Can Strengthen Your Child's University Application

Far from being a secondary subject, General Studies helps your child develop the essential skills that top universities look for. It teaches them how to think critically, analyse information from different viewpoints, and build a well-reasoned argument – skills that are vital for writing a persuasive personal statement and shining in a university interview. Whether they're breaking down a complex news story or debating a social issue, they are learning to think like an undergraduate, preparing them for success in any degree they choose.

Umar P
A tailored solution for your exam success!
Hi, I’m Umar - a final year medical student with years of tutoring experience (both online and in-person)!I like to get to know my students well in order to find an approach that works best for them, rather a one-size-fits-all approach that is neither understandable nor fun to learn. A typical lesson with me would involve a quick assessment of your understanding of a topic or skill, followed by an explanation and demo. After that, most of the lesson will be spent doing questions together; letting you take the lead and only intervening when you get stuck. I find this approach to be much more engaging a...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a General Studies tutor help strengthen my child's application to competitive universities?

A great tutor helps your child understand and articulate the valuable skills they're learning, such as critical thinking and debate. They can work with your child on how to showcase these skills in their personal statement and interviews, turning the subject into a real strength on their UCAS application.

My child is aiming for a top sixth form like Seven Kings or Ilford County High. Can a tutor help them prepare?

Absolutely. While our tutors focus on specific subjects, the skills they teach – like exam technique, confidence, and structured thinking – are invaluable for any academic challenge, including preparing for entry into competitive sixth forms.

How do I pick the right tutor for my child in Goodmayes?

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch introduction videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors for free to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you have the best experience, which is why we offer 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 much does online tutoring cost?

Prices vary as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You can easily see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about their A-Level choices?

Sometimes a child just needs a fresh perspective. A tutor can act as a mentor, helping them see the value in their subjects and connecting what they're learning in the classroom to their future goals. This can make a huge difference to their motivation and confidence.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way video stream, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

Do you offer tutoring for other subjects or just academic ones? My child is also interested in learning to code.

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects, we have expert tutors who can teach practical skills like coding and Python, music lessons for instruments like the guitar, and even language learning.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Lessons are typically one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss your child's needs with their tutor and arrange longer or shorter sessions if you prefer.

Can tutoring fit around our busy family schedule?

Yes, that's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can schedule lessons for evenings or weekends, whatever works best for your family.

How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?

You can get started very quickly. Many parents find and book the perfect tutor on the same day. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors, and book your first session at a time that suits you.
