Rory F
Rory is tutoring my son for his A level History and has been superb in his support from the get go. Rory has helped him understand the essay writing structure and technique distinctions between GCSE and A level. Rory's lessons are well planned and his advice and guidance tailored to detailed understanding of topic content and maximising the knowledge gleaned to various exam questions e.g. the difference between just describing and actual argument / evidence evaluation. Rory is very approachable and provides feedback to parents on how well lessons have progressed and, importantly, where the biggest opportunities are for the student ahead of their set homework. I would strongly recommend Rory as a tutor.

They can provide the advanced challenge and specific insights needed to thrive in demanding school settings, ensuring your child not only keeps up but truly excels in History.
Is Tutorful only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like History, Tutorful offers a wide range of learning opportunities! Your child can also find tutors for new hobbies or personal development, from learning a musical instrument like the guitar or piano, to picking up a new language, or even developing skills like coding and Python. It's all about fostering a love for learning.
What if my child doesn't get along with their History tutor?
We want your child to feel comfortable and confident. That's why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
