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.

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.

Jonathan is an outstanding tutor, he couldn’t have done more to support my son through A level history. He communicated regularly regarding content to cover in the lessons. Jonathan’s tutoring skills and his own extensive knowledge played a major part in my son achieving a grade A in History. We would definitely recommend Jonathan as a tutor.

Louise S
Louise was such an amazing tutor! I really struggled with my confidence in History due to my school teachers being poor, but Louise’s support allowed me to be stronger in class and in my essay writing. She helped me understand the structure required for OCR A level history, something which had always been difficult for me. Thanks to Louise, I was able to achieve the grades to get into my top choice university!

James F
James is a fantastic tutor with a massive range of knowledge and a very high level of professionalism. When I first sought out a tutor, my grades were faltering in both History and Politics, but in about 7 months of having James as my tutor, I just opened my results envelope to see A*A*A! Because he took the time to patiently teach me exactly how to structure an A* essay for both History and Politics, I am confident that this is why there were no tears on results day. Thank you James!
