Critical Thinking tutoring builds the analytical reasoning skills that underpin university applications, A-Level General Studies, the TSA and LNAT, and academic writing across all disciplines. It covers identifying arguments and conclusions, evaluating evidence, spotting logical fallacies and constructing well-supported positions.
All tutors below offer online sessions via video call. Browse profiles, compare rates and contact them directly — no agency fees.
Why students need help
Critical thinking skills are rarely taught explicitly in secondary school — students are expected to deploy them across subjects but seldom receive structured instruction in how to evaluate an argument or identify flawed reasoning. A dedicated tutor builds these skills systematically.
An online Critical Thinkingtutor works one-to-one at your child's pace, targeting the exact gaps holding them back — without the distraction of a classroom.
How does online Critical Thinking tutoring work?
Online Critical Thinking tutoring takes place over video call — Zoom, Google Meet or a dedicated tutoring platform. Tutors share their screen, use interactive whiteboards and can annotate documents or worksheets in real time. For most subjects, research consistently shows online sessions are as effective as in-person. The main advantage is access to the best specialists nationwide rather than only those within driving distance.
How much does an online Critical Thinking tutor cost?
Online Critical Thinking tutors in the UK typically charge £25–£65/hr depending on the level, the tutor's qualifications and experience. Online rates are sometimes slightly lower than in-person because there are no travel costs on either side. On TutorLab every tutor sets their own rate and it is visible on their profile before you make contact — no agency commission on top.
What do I need for an online Critical Thinking tutoring session?
A reliable internet connection, a laptop or tablet with a working camera and microphone, and a quiet space to work. Some tutors use a shared digital whiteboard (Bitpaper, Miro or Google Jamboard) — particularly useful for maths and sciences. Your tutor will tell you exactly which tools they use before the first session.
How do I find the right online Critical Thinking tutor?
Browse the profiles above and look for a tutor whose experience matches your child's current level and target grade. Read their bio, check the subjects and exam boards they cover, and look at their hourly rate. When you make an enquiry, describe your child's year group, current grade and what you want to achieve — a good tutor will respond quickly and often suggest a short introductory session so you can both assess the fit before committing.
