Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

David J
Experienced History and English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Anna F
Anna was incredibly helpful in guiding me through my personal statement for an MA in History. She gave thoughtful, detailed feedback that really improved the clarity, structure, and overall quality of my writing, and was also very friendly and easy to talk to, which made the whole process feel comfortable and straightforward. Her support helped me feel much more confident in my application, and I’m really grateful for her help throughout the process. Thank you again!

Liam W
Having really struggled with the bridge between GCSEs and A level maths, Liam has been extremely patient and considerate with me, somehow managing to explain confusing concepts in a way that helps me understand and remember it. He adapts each class to whatever topic the student would like to focus on and is always prepared, even when I cover 3 completely different topics during a single session.
