How General Studies Can Strengthen Your Child's University Application
It’s a common concern: does a subject like General Studies really add weight to a UCAS application? The answer is yes, when your child knows how to showcase the skills it teaches. This subject is all about developing critical thinking, debating contemporary issues, and analysing information from different viewpoints. These are precisely the abilities admissions tutors at competitive universities want to see, helping your child excel in interviews and write compelling personal statements.

Paul N
Patient and motivating tutor
I am a very experienced Chemistry and science teacher and I know I can help you achieve success in your examinations. During the first lesson, I generally like to get to know my students and ask questions which enable me to ascertain where they currently are in terms of their understanding of Chemistry or Science. I then tailor future lessons for them and build up both their subject knowledge and confidence using very simplistic models which are analogous to the more complex topics we study. My lessons are very relaxed and give my students the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in lessons. Teaching...

Absolutely excellent. Teacher Padma has been patient, calm, engaging and inspirational to both our boys aged 5 and 7. She is thorough and in 2 weeks has transformed learning for both boys which is quite remarkable. Thoroughly and highly recommend Padma!

Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive London university like LSE or UCL. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from top UK universities and have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications. They can provide specific guidance on personal statements, interview techniques, and building a strong academic profile to help your child stand out in a competitive field.
We're in Waltham Forest. Does my child have to be tutored by someone local?
Not at all! The beauty of online tutoring is that you can find the absolute best tutor for your child's needs from anywhere in the UK. This gives you access to a much wider pool of experts than would be available locally, including specialists for competitive university entrance.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We cover a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond the curriculum, our tutors can help your child learn to code in Python, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even prepare for specific entrance exams. It’s all about supporting their individual passions and goals.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
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, giving you the flexibility to find an expert who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. By creating a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, our tutors help them master tricky topics at their own pace. These small wins build up over time, leading to greater self-belief in the classroom.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective tool that allows your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How long is a typical lesson and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and your child's tutor. Some students have a regular weekly session to stay on top of their work, while others book lessons for a boost before an exam. It’s completely flexible.
How do you know this works?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you.
Can a tutor help with specific issues like exam anxiety?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors do more than just teach subjects; they act as mentors. They can share fantastic revision techniques, time management skills, and strategies to help your child feel calm and prepared when they walk into an exam.
