Online Scottish Highers History Tutors
It can be tough when the subject your child is studying feels like ancient history to you, too. Suddenly there are complex essays to write and sources to analyse, and it's hard to know how to help.
That's where we come in. You don't have to figure this out alone. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need, then we find the right person for them. Even when you can't help with the subject, you can still help them.

When history stops being just dates and names
The right support can transform History from a list of facts into a compelling story. Suddenly, essays feel less daunting because your child has a clear structure to follow. They start building arguments with confidence, not just repeating what they've heard in class.
Our tutors specialise in the SQA specification, so every session directly supports what's being covered at school. It’s not just about passing an exam; it’s about your child finding their voice and feeling capable in a subject they once found difficult.
Find a tutor 
You answer a few questions. We find the right person.
Our Tutor Finder does the work for you. We ask what your child needs – from exam technique to specific topics – and how they like to learn. We then recommend a shortlist of tutors we would genuinely back for your child.
Only one in eight applicants is accepted, so you know you're getting a real expert. Every tutor is ID-verified and DBS-checked before they can meet any child. As real parents say in over 4,100 reviews, it’s a service they trust.
Most families have their first lesson within days. It's a low-pressure chat to see if it’s a good fit. If not, our First Lesson Guarantee means we find someone else, at no extra charge. No awkwardness, no wasted money.

- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.
- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.
- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study....
