Connect your child with an expert History tutor
History is a broad and challenging subject, often leaving students feeling buried under a mountain of facts, dates, and complex source materials. If a parents' evening has raised concerns or a mock exam result was a surprise, it’s natural to feel out of your depth when trying to help.
By bringing in a specialist History tutor, you can delegate the academic heavy lifting to a professional. This allows you to go back to being the supportive parent while an expert mentor helps your child untangle the past, develop sharp analytical skills, and turn a confusing syllabus into a clear, manageable story.

Eloise S
Eloise is a great tutor for my AQA A level NEA Coursework, helping me go from 20/40 to 33/40. Her effort, lesson planning and analysis were especially useful and helped me understand how to construct my arguments in accordance with the mark scheme on a higher level. She was also great for my Empire and Weimar Germany courses

Julian W
Julian is an extremely helpful and thorough A-level History tutor. He has great subject knowledge and goes to a lot of effort to mark and give clear, detailed feedback on my essays. After 3 lessons with him I feel that there has been a significant improvement in my essay writing skills. He has really shown me how to improve my exam technique and what the examiners are looking for - well beyond what teachers at school ever taught me! Highly recommend :)

Andrew D
Andrew is an amazing tutor!! at the beginning of year 13 I was finding history incredibly difficult and felt defeated. I was on E's and C' but with Andrew's help I have been able to achieve A/B grades. Andrew is very intelligent, patient, kind and supportive which made me enjoy history and not feel stuck. His intelligence on my topics was super helpful and has made me feel so confident in myself. I would seriously recommend him for tutoring as he is consistent and lovely!!
