Watching your child navigate their A-Level choices can be tough, especially when you're aiming high for places at competitive sixth forms like Seven Kings or Ilford County High.

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.

Zohra M
Tutor that makes the harder STEM concepts easier!
Hi! I am Zohra and I am currently studying Biochemistry at University. To be completely honest Biology was my least favourite Science out of the three - funnily enough it forms the majority of my degree. It was very challenging in the beginning but I can assure you that it does get easier, only by having patience and consistently putting in hard work!I studied for my A Levels during the pandemic when we had online lessons which was a challenge to get used to but from this experience. I can empathise with the feeling of online studying and working on your own as I have been in your shoes before!...

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...

A patient and attentive tutor happy to help!
Hi there, my name is Krishni! I am a Law and Sociology graduate from the University of Warwick, and now I am doing my legal masters. From all the trial and errors I have undergone, my mission is to transform grades and confidence.I had struggled throughout school in terms of focus and struggling with the ‘one-size-fits all’ approach school teachers left me with. I would constantly get reprimanded and disheartened with my grades. After many MANY trial and errors, I finally figured out how to personalise and tailor the curriculum to ME and saw results almost straight away. This tailoring method is ...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

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.
