Specialist Online IB History Tutors
The IB History course is demanding. Perhaps a parent-teacher meeting raised a concern, or your child is feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of reading and source analysis. It's difficult to watch them struggle, especially with a subject you might not have studied yourself.
Even when you cannot help your child with the subject, you can still help them. You don't need to become an expert in historiography. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and how they learn, and we'll find the right person to help make sense of it all.

From overwhelmed by sources to arguing a case with confidence
A great history tutor does more than just explain the content. They help your child to think like a historian — to question sources, build an argument, and write with conviction. Suddenly, the subject isn't just a list of facts to memorise, but a story they can analyse and understand.
This shift doesn't just show up in their results. It builds the critical thinking skills they'll need for their Extended Essay, their university applications, and whatever comes next. It’s about giving them the confidence to have a point of view and defend it.

Matched to the right tutor — without the guesswork
Our Tutor Finder asks the questions you might not know to ask — from the specific IB History options your child is studying to how they prefer to learn. Based on your answers, we recommend a small shortlist of tutors we genuinely believe are the right fit. No endless scrolling, just a recommendation you can trust.
Every tutor we recommend has been carefully vetted; only one in eight applicants is accepted. They are not just subject experts, but patient guides who know how to build confidence and adapt to your child's way of thinking.
If the first session doesn't feel quite right, our First Lesson Guarantee means we'll find another tutor for you at no extra charge. It’s our way of making sure we get it right.
