How Strong History Grades Open Doors for Your Child
History is so much more than just memorising dates. It’s a subject that teaches your child how to think critically, analyse complex information, and build a convincing argument – essential skills for any respected A-Level course and university degree. Whether they're dissecting sources on the Cold War or crafting an essay on the Norman Conquest, your child is developing the analytical abilities that top universities look for. A strong History GCSE shows they have the dedication and skills needed to succeed in higher education.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Queen Mary's College (QMC). Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive colleges. They can focus specifically on the GCSE History curriculum, strengthening your child's weak spots to help them achieve the grades needed for their chosen A-Level courses.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Southampton or Winchester. How can History tutoring support this long-term goal?
That's a great goal! A tutor can help build the foundational skills in critical thinking and essay writing that are essential for university-level study. Excelling at GCSE and A-Level History demonstrates the analytical ability that admissions tutors at prestigious universities like Southampton and Winchester are looking for.
How do I choose the right History tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors or booking a free video chat to make sure you and your child feel comfortable before booking a lesson.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. 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.
How much does online History tutoring cost in Basingstoke?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for them to learn one-to-one with their tutor from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor helps your child understand difficult topics, which naturally builds their self-esteem and confidence in the classroom. It's amazing to see a child start to believe in their own abilities.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor. There are no contracts or minimum commitments.
Do you only offer academic subjects like History?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like History, Maths and English, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can often find and book a tutor for a lesson within 24 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat so you can meet them first and make sure they're the right fit for your child before you commit to a lesson.
What does a typical History session look like?
Every session is tailored to your child. It might involve going over a tricky topic from a school lesson, practising how to analyse historical sources, planning an essay structure, or working on exam techniques to help them feel prepared and confident.
