Online KS3 History Tutors
Perhaps your child finds History dry, or a recent school report has you worried. It’s hard knowing how to help them make sense of the past when you can't be the expert yourself.
But you don't have to be. We find the right person for your child — someone who can connect the dots and make the subject click. Even when you cannot help with the subject, you can still help them. Our Tutor Finder does the work, so you don’t have to.

When the past stops feeling like a foreign country
With the right support, History is no longer just a list of dates and names. It becomes a story your child can actually get into. We see children go from dreading lessons to actively joining in.
This newfound confidence is about more than just tests. It’s about building skills in analysis and argument that will set them up for their GCSEs and beyond, helping them feel capable and prepared.
Find a tutor
You answer a few questions. We find the right person.
Our Tutor Finder asks what’s important: the topics your child is studying, how they learn best, and what you want to achieve. We then recommend a small, personalised shortlist of tutors we would genuinely back for them.
Every tutor we recommend has been carefully vetted — only one in eight applicants is accepted. They aren’t just History experts; they know how to make the subject engaging for this age group.
And if the first session isn’t quite the right fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we’ll find another tutor at no charge. We handle the details, so you don't have to.

Amelia T
Dedicated History tutor
I’m a tutor because I genuinely love it. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 (one-to-one and small groups), and I’m big on making learning feel less like a punishment and more like, “Oh… I can do this.” I’m patient, upbeat, and a bit of a professional translator of “confusing school wording” into plain English. If a student is anxious, overwhelmed, or convinced they’re “bad” at a subject, I’m the person who will gently prove them wrong — step by step, without judgement, and with a few laughs along the way. Progress matters, but confidence is usually the thing that unlocks it. My academic background ...

Our son Daniel was very grateful for the lesson with Augustus. He really enjoyed it and says that it helped him a lot in preparing for his History exam.
He also mentions that he would like to continue studying history with Augustus in the future.
I highly recommend him!

Lynn D
Lynn has been helping my child recently with her R.E GCSE studies. Lynn has been carefully assessing and helping my child with 12marks and 4 mark exam questions . She has sent detailed report on my child's strengths and weakness and has been careful to listen to feedback and accommodate areas that I felt my child needed help with. Overall Lynn has been very helpful although it was a short time but has proven beneficial for my child's needs.

Stephanie B
Stephanie is an amazing teacher. To begin with her method of teaching is arresting, and I wholeheartedly found myself engaging with fervour and an eagerness to learn. Not only that, but due to her teaching, I went from a predicted grade of 4 to a grade 8 in my final history exam! I recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to eviscerate their history GCSE's.

Lorraine N
My son's review:"She is very kind and she teaches History very well. I really enjoyed her lessons!" My review: Lorraine gave amazing lessons to my son. She is well prepared and engaging. She makes sure my son understands the lessons. He checks his knowledge and taught him a lot about essay writing which will be very beneficial for his exams. She is very reliable and well organized and focused on what the student needs.

Hannah G
Hannah tutors my son in both KS3 history and geography. She is friendly, engaging and passionate about the subjects. She is always well prepared for the lessons and actively encourages my son to share his thoughts and opinions. He looks forward to his lessons every week and says "she is the best teacher ever!" It's lovely to see how much he has grown in confidence and also how much he is enjoying the subjects. I couldn't be happier with Hannah and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a tutor.

Paul N
Paul helped our 13 year old son to appreciate and enjoy history and politics in a way that I didn't believe possible in such a young person. Our son looked forward to the lessons and has since started to show an enthusiasm to learn more, especially in factual history programs and documentaries. Paul's approach was engaging and made the subject come alive, we were lucky to have found him.

Robert A
My daughter is in Year 7 at a private boarding school, and she excels in all subjects except for Religion and History, where she lags slightly behind. Perhaps it's in our Asian nature to be perfectionists, so I've always been very concerned about her performance in these two subjects. We had previously found a history tutor for her, but unfortunately, while she enjoyed the history lessons, her exam scores didn't improve significantly.
After attending one of Robert's classes, she told me that he might be able to help her. Without any hesitation, I booked Robert's upcoming lessons for her. I hope Robert can thoroughly rescue my daughter's history grades and help her achieve the highest score possible.
