How General Studies Can Strengthen Your Child's University Application
While some universities don't include General Studies in their offers, the skills your child develops are exactly what admissions tutors at top institutions look for. It teaches them how to think critically, construct a compelling argument, and analyse complex information from the world around them. Whether they're breaking down a current affairs topic for a debate or writing a persuasive essay, these are the skills that will help them excel in any degree and future career.

Katie W
My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help strengthen their UCAS application?
Absolutely. Our tutors can specifically help your child identify and articulate the valuable skills they've gained from General Studies—like debate, critical analysis, and essay writing—in their personal statement and interviews, making their application more compelling to top universities.
With the competitive nature of schools in the Bromley borough, how can a tutor give my child an edge?
A one-to-one tutor provides personalised attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. They can focus on your child's specific areas for improvement, build their confidence, and help them frame their knowledge and skills in a way that stands out on their university application.
How do I find the right General Studies tutor for my child?
It's easy! You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as helping with UCAS applications or building essay skills. You can also read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents to find the perfect match.
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 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 much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous vetting process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and highly qualified expert.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with university entrance exams and interview practice too?
We offer support for a wide range of needs beyond the curriculum. Many of our tutors specialise in university admissions, including help with entrance exams like the BMAT or LNAT, and can provide invaluable interview practice to help your child feel prepared and confident.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe and supportive environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning hurdles and build genuine self-belief.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! You can easily manage your schedule through our platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a lesson to avoid being charged.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. It completely depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam or polish a personal statement, while others prefer weekly lessons for ongoing support. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
How are payments handled?
Payments are handled securely and simply through our platform. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each completed lesson. You'll never need to handle cash or worry about paying the tutor directly.
