Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a Scottish Highers History tutor help me manage the workload and content?

A dedicated tutor can help your child break down the vast content into manageable chunks, create effective revision schedules, and teach them proven memorisation techniques for dates, names, and key events. They'll help them connect different historical periods, making the learning feel less like a memory test and more like a coherent story.

What about the 'Assignment' project – how can a tutor support me without me getting into trouble?

A Scottish Highers History tutor can provide invaluable guidance on a student's Assignment. They can help students brainstorm topics, develop strong research questions, find credible sources, structure arguments, and refine their writing style. They will empower your child to develop independent research skills, ensuring they understand the SQA guidelines and maintain academic integrity.

Can a tutor help with both essay writing and source analysis for the SQA exam?

Absolutely. Our expert Scottish Highers History tutors specialise in both. They can teach the specific analytical skills needed for source questions, helping students interpret evidence and evaluate reliability. For essays, they'll guide your child on structuring compelling arguments, using specific historical evidence effectively, and writing to the SQA mark scheme, ensuring both parts of their final exam are strong.

How long does it usually take to see an improvement with a Scottish Highers History tutor?

While every student's learning journey is unique, consistent, focused sessions with a private Scottish Highers History tutor can lead to noticeable progress relatively quickly. Many students experience improved understanding and confidence within just a few weeks, which then translates into better grades. Progress is often faster than studying alone because the support is so personalised.

Is Scottish Highers History considered a good qualification for university applications?

Yes, Scottish Highers History is highly respected by universities across the UK. It demonstrates strong analytical, critical thinking, research, and communication skills, which are valuable for a wide range of degrees, including Law, Politics, English, and, of course, History itself. A good grade in this subject shows academic rigour and intellectual curiosity.

If I'm considering studying History at university, will I need an Advanced Higher?

While a strong Scottish Higher History grade is an excellent foundation and will be highly regarded, some competitive university courses, especially for History at certain institutions, may look favourably upon or even expect an Advanced Higher. A Scottish Highers History tutor can discuss your child's university aspirations and help them plan their next steps, whether that's strengthening their Higher or considering Advanced Higher.

How do I find the right Scottish Highers History tutor for my child?

You can easily browse our wide selection of experienced Scottish Highers History tutors on our platform. Each tutor has a detailed profile, including their qualifications, experience, and reviews from other students. You can filter by subject, level, and even read their personal statements to find the perfect match for your child's learning style and needs.
