Elandra G
Attentive and patient History tutor
Hi there! I’m Elandra, an undergraduate at University College London (UCL). I completed my IB Diploma in 2022. Having so recently completed my secondary school studies, I am able to relate to students on academic challenges they might encounter. I am able to work closely alongside them to develop their confidence and ability to tackle challenges. I achieve this through building a relationship with each of my students; each tutoring session is wholly cultivated to best suit their needs. I may also occasionally set small tasks outside of lesson time to encourage the development of independent learning i...

Phil R
Bringing History to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a History IB tutor specifically help with the Internal Assessment (IA)?

A tutor can guide students through every stage of the IA, from choosing and refining the research question to identifying relevant primary and secondary sources. They'll help your child structure their arguments, analyse evidence critically, and write a high-quality, university-level essay, ensuring they feel confident in this crucial component of the IB grade.

My child is studying History IB at Higher Level (HL). Will a tutor be able to manage the extra content and demands?

Absolutely. Our expert History IB tutors are well-versed in both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL) requirements. For HL students, they can help manage the extended content, deepen their understanding of the three topics, and refine the advanced analytical skills needed for Papers 2 and 3, ensuring the workload feels manageable and rewarding.

How do tutors help with complex topics like historiography or obscure global histories?

Our tutors specialise in demystifying these areas. They break down challenging concepts like historiography into clear, understandable parts, helping students grasp different historical interpretations. For less familiar global topics, they provide structured explanations, relevant examples, and effective revision strategies to ensure your child understands and retains even the most specialist content.

Will a tutor just teach more content, or help with exam skills too?

A tutor focuses on both content mastery and essential exam skills. They'll help your child understand the vast curriculum, but also equip them with strategies for Paper 1 source analysis, essay planning for Papers 2 and 3, and effective time management under exam conditions. The goal is to build confidence to apply knowledge successfully in every assessment.

Is it possible for History IB to improve my overall IB Diploma score?

Yes, absolutely. With focused support from a History IB tutor, students can significantly improve their understanding and performance. Many see their grades improve, and a stronger mark in History can boost your child's overall IB Diploma score, helping them meet university offers and open up more opportunities for future studies. We've seen 9 out of 10 students improve by at least one grade, making a real difference to their results.

How does online History IB tutoring work?

Online tutoring is incredibly flexible and convenient. A student connects with their tutor in a virtual classroom that has video, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. This allows for dynamic, real-time learning sessions tailored specifically to your child's needs, whether they're reviewing a challenging historical period or getting feedback on an essay draft. It's just like in-person tutoring, but from the comfort of your home.

How can I be sure the History IB tutor is qualified?

We take tutor vetting very seriously. We only accept about 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also have great teaching ability. All tutors are background-checked and have their qualifications verified, so you can feel reassured that your child is learning from a trusted and effective History IB tutor.
