How General Studies Can Give Your Child an Edge
Far from being a distraction, General Studies is a subject that builds the exact skills universities and employers are looking for. It teaches your child how to analyse information, construct a strong argument, and discuss current affairs with confidence. These are not just exam skills; they are life skills, essential for writing compelling personal statements, succeeding in interviews for places at universities like Queen Mary, and thriving in future apprenticeships. A good grasp of these concepts can even boost their performance in other essay-based subjects.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Queen Mary University of London. Can a tutor help them use General Studies to strengthen their application?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child develop and articulate the critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities like Queen Mary value highly. They can work on essay writing and debating techniques that will make their whole application, including their personal statement and interviews, stand out.
We live in Whitechapel and my child is aiming for a competitive apprenticeship. Is General Studies tutoring relevant?
Yes, very much so. The skills learned in General Studies, such as problem-solving, communication, and understanding contemporary issues, are highly sought after by employers for top apprenticeships. A tutor can help your child learn how to demonstrate these valuable skills effectively.
How do I choose the best General Studies tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to ensure you find the right fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 in Whitechapel cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £45 per hour. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
Are your tutors qualified to teach A-Level General Studies?
Yes. All our tutors are experts in their subjects. We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. They are all interviewed, background-checked, and have the experience to help your child succeed.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about this subject?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down complex topics and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-belief that extends to their other subjects too.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a two-way whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with skills like public speaking or creative writing?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, including practical and creative skills. Many of our tutors can help your child with specific skills like public speaking, debating, and creative writing, which are great for building confidence and complementing their schoolwork.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without it being overwhelming. You can easily discuss the best session length for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help my child manage their time better across all their A-levels?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are often experienced mentors who can help your child with more than just the subject itself. They can provide excellent guidance on revision planning, time management, and study skills that will benefit all of their A-level subjects.
