I thank the Lord for Greg as he was an answer to prayer for my son’s History GCSE. He was doing GCSE history in a year and his college tutor went off sick in February half term. My son has ASD. We found Greg on Tutorful and his grade went from a 4 in Mocks to a 6 in final exam.Greg was very patient and kept my son interested in his least favourite subject. Brilliant tutor. Thank you Greg.

Let me start this off by saying, my English skills would be nowhere without Rukudzo. She is the most skilled and intellectual tutor one could find. When we started together, I did not even know the differences between verbs and nouns at 15 years old (I know!). Despite my lack of basic grammar, Rukudzo offered a patient, judgment free environment. She doesn’t just treat you like a student but like a friend, paying attention to detail, being ready to help, and is truly different to other teachers. Rukudzo has not only shaped my educational journey, but my emotional one too. She played a pivotal role in who I am today, teaching me to stand up for myself and be proud of my background. Through all the highs and lows of my personal life, Rukudzo has always been a constant presence, offering kindness where there was none. Rukudzo prioritises health over A’s, which is what made lessons with her so easy and enjoyable. I never felt pressure to excel or overachieve. Just to try my best. That kind of tranquility and care leaves room for a child to thrive. Her English language skills and literature knowledge is impeccable. Her insights are deeply profound and she is quite skilled at not spoon feeding lessons to you. She offers guidance and allows the student to truly flourish into their own writing style, consolidating knowledge rather than memorising it. Rukudzo welcomes questions, no matter how many, with a smile and answers at hand. As of today, I received a Grade 7 in English Language GCSE and 8 in Literature GCSE. I truly could have never achieved such a score without Rukudzo’s warm nature and amazing lessons. In fact, many I speak to believe I am far too eloquent for my age, with some kids thinking I’m a robot 😜 (I swear I’m not), and lawyers at a firm I received an internship for believing I used AI to write my responses to questions, (something I also did not do!) If you want to excel in a judgment free environment overflowing with patience and care, Rukudzo is definitely the tutor you should go for!

Victoria is an amazing tutor who is helping me with my GCSE exam technique. Her feedback is always very thorough and helpful, she is very friendly and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help in History.

I started working with Ethan just two months before my History A-Level exams, and the difference he made to my performance was incredible. Before working with him, I was consistently scoring around 14/20 on my essays, which was approximately a high B grade. By the time I sat my exams, I was able to achieve an A* in History, with my highest-scoring paper receiving 54/60. Ethan is an incredibly attentive and thorough tutor. He has a real talent for explaining essay structure in a way that is simple, clear and, most importantly, easy to consistently put into practice. Whether you’re struggling with structuring your essays, managing your timing, developing counterarguments to strengthen your paragraphs, or simply understanding what examiners are looking for, Ethan can help with all of it. One thing I particularly appreciated was that he would take the time to mark work I completed outside of our tutoring sessions, which meant I was constantly receiving feedback and improving between lessons as well as during them. He genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure you understand not just what you should be doing, but why it works. I’m incredibly grateful for all of his support and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a History tutor.

I would highly recommend Peter to be your history tutor. He was always encouraging and his knowledge of the topics we covered was excellent, particularly the Tudors which was the area I initially struggled with the most. Most importantly he helped me improve my a level grade from a D to a strong B. He also made a huge difference to my confidence when it came to writing essays especially ones centred around interpretations. I’m really grateful for all his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone studying a level history.

Very helpful history tutor, that provided effective sessions helping to achieve a grade 9 in history IGCSE.

Mark is a fantastic teacher and easily the most knowledgable History teacher my son has every had.My son called him the GOAT (greatest of all time) in History and said there was no question that Mark couldn't answer. He is incredibly patient, professional and was an enormous confidence booster for my son who went from zero confidence in his ability to gaining a grade 7 at iGCSE. I would recommend Mark to anyone as a History teacher.
