Christopher B
Experienced History tutor
I have been involved in education since 2002 when my own PE teachers told myself and a few friends if we wanted an after school basketball class we had to get the coaching qualifications and run it ourselves. Hardly looked back since! In 2009 I qualified with my BA in History and in 2011 achieved my teaching qualification and recognised professional status in 2013. In 2018 I also completed a Masters degree in History, committed as I am to becoming not just a general historian but a specialist in my main topic areas. During this time, working in Guildford, Teesside and Liverpool I have developed...

Kathy F
Creative History tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Brilliant History tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a selective school like Harrogate Grammar. Can a History tutor help with the skills needed?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in building the core analytical and essay-writing skills that are crucial for success in selective school environments. They can work with your child to develop clear, structured arguments and critically evaluate sources, helping them perform strongly in entrance exams and interviews.
We're worried about the step up to A-Level for getting into a university like Leeds or York. How can online tutoring prepare them?
This is a common concern, and where one-to-one support really helps. Our A-Level History tutors, many of whom are graduates from top universities themselves, can bridge that gap. They focus on the higher-level analysis, independent research skills, and sophisticated essay techniques required to achieve the A* and A grades needed for competitive courses.
Is online tutoring as effective as face-to-face for a subject like History that involves a lot of discussion?
Yes, many students find it even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards for analysing sources together, and the focused, one-to-one environment is perfect for in-depth discussion without classroom distractions. Plus, your child in Harrogate gets access to the best UK-wide specialists, not just whoever is local.
What if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?
Finding the right fit is everything. We have a first lesson guarantee to ensure you do. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your History tutors qualified to teach up to A-Level?
Yes. We have a wide range of tutors, including many with postgraduate degrees and extensive experience teaching History at GCSE, A-Level, and even university level. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect match.
My child finds History a bit dry. Can a tutor make it more engaging?
A great tutor can bring any subject to life! They connect historical events to your child's interests, use engaging resources, and focus on the fascinating stories behind the facts. Many parents tell us their child has developed a genuine passion for a subject they used to dislike.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
It's a partnership. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. You'll also see it in their growing confidence, the quality of their schoolwork, and, of course, their test and exam results.
How much does online History tutoring cost for a student in Harrogate?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs A-Level). You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget.
My child's main weakness is essay writing. Can we find a tutor who focuses specifically on that?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are experts in academic writing. You can specify this as your goal when you search, and read tutor profiles to find someone who highlights essay structure, argumentation, and clarity as a key strength in their teaching.
What do we need for an online tutoring session?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
How flexible is scheduling around school and other clubs?
Very flexible. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. Tutors offer sessions during evenings, weekends, and school holidays, so you can easily find a time that fits around your family's busy schedule without adding any travel time.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
We offer tutoring across a huge range of subjects. If your child needs support in other humanities like English Literature, Politics, or Geography, or even subjects like Music or Coding, you can find expert tutors for those on our platform too.
