Why General Studies is a Smart Choice for Their Future
General Studies is much more than just another qualification; it's a subject that teaches your child how to think, not just what to think. It equips them with essential skills for higher education, like building a strong argument, analysing complex information, and understanding different viewpoints. These are precisely the abilities that universities like Queen Mary look for, helping your child write a more compelling personal statement and excel in interviews, no matter what degree they pursue.

Sunil P
My daughter has been working with Sunil for more than 3 months from the start of year 9 towards GCSE. We went with Sunil because his sole focus is on Physics, unlike lots of of other tutors who presents them self as "jack of all trades", as I believe in specialisation. My daughter finds Sunil lessons very helpful. Sunil experience as an examiner is rare and his focus on exact exam answers is very valuable. We asked for homework which Sunil has been happy to provide and check. He is kind and very enthusiastic about physics. I would strongly recommend Sunil as a Physics tutor

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is considering Queen Mary University. Can a tutor help strengthen their application using their General Studies skills?
Absolutely. A great General Studies tutor can help your child hone the critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities value. They can work with them on articulating complex ideas, which is brilliant practice for writing a standout personal statement and preparing for interviews.
We live in Plaistow and my child is aiming for a competitive sixth form. How can tutoring in General Studies help them stand out?
General Studies develops a breadth of knowledge and a maturity of thought that can make an applicant stand out. A tutor can help your child learn to debate current affairs and form balanced arguments, which are impressive skills to demonstrate in sixth form applications and interviews.
How do I choose the right General Studies tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals before booking a session. It’s a great way to get a feel for their teaching style.
How much does online tutoring cost in Plaistow?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically starting from £20 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key. 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 can a tutor make General Studies feel more relevant and less abstract?
Our tutors are experts at making learning stick. They can link topics to your child's other A-Level subjects, their hobbies, or current events. By showing how the skills apply to the real world, the subject becomes much more engaging and its value becomes clear.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass an ID and background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a microphone and internet connection.
How can tutoring help my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Confidence is often the biggest change parents see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Celebrating small wins and mastering tricky topics with a supportive tutor makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with skills like public speaking or creative writing too?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond the school curriculum, you can find expert tutors for everything from music and languages to coding and public speaking. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number, as every child is different. Many parents find a regular weekly session works well to build momentum, but you can book as many or as few as you need. It's completely flexible to fit your child's goals and your schedule.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring services?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
