Why Every Subject Choice Can Be a Strength

While some A-Levels are seen as more 'traditional', subjects like General Studies are designed to develop skills that are essential for university success. They teach students how to analyse contemporary issues, form compelling arguments, and think critically about the world around them. These are the very skills your child will need when writing essays or taking part in seminars at university. A good tutor can help your child draw out these strengths, showing them how to demonstrate this deeper understanding in their exams and, crucially, in their personal statement.

Safiyyah A
Excellent tutor
Hi my name is safiyyah and I’m currently studying optometry with an integrated master. During A-Levels I studied biology, chemistry and psychology. The reason why I chose optometry to study and be as my career path is because optometrist is an essential role in the health care system. I also enjoy learning about different eye conditions which can be used to detect issues in visual health and how eye examinations can be used to detect different health issues such as diabetes , eye tumours and pressure levels. I have been tutoring GCSE students for two years and A - level students for a year, the e...

Setareh A
Setareh is an excellent tutor, would highly recommend her. I started using her in year 1 of my Biology A level and she has always explained things very clearly. If I didn’t understand something she would go the extra mile to support me. It was very helpful working through exam questions together and this would highlight areas that I maybe needed a bit more support. She’s supportive and friendly, a great tutor that I would highly recommend.

’ve had a really great experience learning French with Sandrine. She listens to my needs and adapts lessons to suit what I want to work on, which helps a lot. She’s supportive, patient, and never makes me feel like I’m not good enough, which has really built my confidence. I’d definitely recommend her, especially for A-level French students.

Simon X
Simon tutored my 10 year old son, helping him prepare for 11+ exams. My son immediately clicked with Simon, and found the in-person lessons especially invaluable. Simon went to great lengths to strike up a rapport with my son, and the lessons seemed fun but also very effective and targetted to the individual 11+ exams he was sitting. We're very grateful for Simon's help and would absolutely recommend for any subject.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive London university like UCL or King's. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their UCAS applications. They can help your child strengthen their subject knowledge, prepare for interviews, and provide invaluable feedback on their personal statement to help them stand out to admissions teams.

We're worried that my child's A-Level choices might not look 'strong' enough. Can a tutor help?

This is a common concern for parents. A tutor can help your child excel in their chosen subjects and, more importantly, teach them how to demonstrate the valuable critical thinking and analytical skills they've developed. This helps build a compelling academic profile, no matter the subject.

How do I choose the best tutor for my child in Willesden?

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will get on with, as that positive relationship is the foundation for great learning.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is important. 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?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can browse and filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple and secure. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

Can tutoring help with more than just school subjects?

Definitely. While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors who can teach skills like coding, public speaking, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language. There's a tutor for almost any interest.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. When they start to understand tricky topics and see their grades improve, their self-belief naturally grows.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and schedule.

How quickly can we start lessons?

You could have your first lesson within a few days. Many tutors respond to messages quickly, often within 24 hours. You can see their availability on their profile and book a time that works for your family straight away.

Can a tutor help my child with their UCAS personal statement?

Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience helping students craft effective personal statements. They can help your child structure their ideas, articulate their passion for a subject, and make sure their application is as strong as it can be.
