Online GCSE & A-Level History Tutors
Maybe it’s the endless dates, the tricky source analysis, or essays that just aren’t hitting the mark. When your child is struggling with History, it’s hard to know how to help, especially when the curriculum feels so different from the one you remember.
That’s where we come in. You tell us what your child needs in our Tutor Finder, and we find the right person for them. Someone who can make the past feel present, and the essays feel possible. Even when you cannot help your child with the subject, you can still help them.

When the story behind the dates starts to click
Suddenly, it’s not just a list of facts to memorise. It’s a compelling story they can analyse and argue about with confidence. The right tutor helps them connect the dots, build stronger arguments, and find their own voice in their essays.
This newfound clarity doesn’t just help with mock exams or their final grades. It builds critical thinking skills that are essential for A-levels, university applications, and beyond. We’ll find someone who knows their exam board inside out.
Find a tutor
You answer a few questions. We find the right person.
Our Tutor Finder asks the important questions so you don’t have to: from the specific exam board to how your child prefers to learn. We then recommend a shortlist of tutors we would genuinely back for your child.
Every tutor on that list is not only a History expert but also a skilled communicator. Only one in eight applicants make it through our selection process. They’re all ID-verified and DBS-checked before they can meet any child.
Most families are in their first lesson within days. It’s a low-pressure chat to understand where your child is at. And as thousands of our 4.6-star reviews show, finding the right fit makes all the difference. If it’s not right, our First Lesson Guarantee means we’ll find someone else, at no extra cost.

Eloise S
We would really recommend Eloise as an A level history tutor. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a really engaging way. Our son found her lessons interesting and well-planned. Eloise made sure our son felt confident for his exams. She also recorded lessons so he was able to refer back to lessons for his revision. We're really grateful for all her support.

Patrick S
Worked with Patrick on A level history. I have SEND, so needed someone dependable, with good interpersonal skills. Patrick fitted the bill entirely. Some of his strengths:
Provides really clear explanations; didn't make me feel inadequate for needing support.
Interactive teaching style; not a lecture, or reading out a prepared sheet. He has the knowledge, checks understanding and responds to the issues raised.
Good combination of professional and friendly; lessons were not a drain.
Flexible with times and dates. Timely responses to messages and 100% reliable.
I would highly recommend :)

Kevin A
Kevin was an incredible tutor throughout my Durham History degree and had a huge impact on both my academic confidence and success, particularly with my dissertation. His guidance, feedback, and support were always thoughtful, constructive, and encouraging. He was always able to reply super quickly, and he put in the utmost effort into every lesson.
He has a real talent for helping students develop their ideas and think critically, essentially enhancing your thought too. His enthusiasm for history and genuine investment in his students' success made a lasting difference to my university experience.
I am extremely grateful for all of his help and would highly recommend him to any student.
