History: The Skillset for a Standout University Application
History isn't just about the past; it's about training a sharp, analytical mind for the future. When your child can dissect a primary source or construct a compelling argument, they're developing skills prized by top universities like the LSE and Oxbridge. Imagine them confidently analysing political speeches or understanding global events. With London's own rich history—from the Tower of London to the Churchill War Rooms—serving as a backdrop, we help them see how the past shapes the very streets they walk on, preparing them for any challenge ahead.

It's a partnership that builds not just knowledge, but the belief they can succeed.

Or a session that brings the Russian Revolution to life in a way that textbooks simply can't.

James D
Enthusiastic History Tutor in the Humanities and Social
I am a fully qualified teacher, having entered the profession in 2018, and I currently serve as Head of Humanities at an inner London school. Over the course of my career, I have gained extensive experience teaching Geography, Politics, and History across Key Stages 3–5, and I am also an examiner for Pearson.

Abbie D
Enthusiastic and passionate History tutor
I run more informal sessions to help make sure all my students can ask any questions they need about their subject or our lesson topic! I’m a big believer that there are no silly questions and that tutoring is a great space to ask things or cover topics that students may not want to ask in the big classroom setting! I may occasionally ask for a small amount of pre-session work, depending on the key stage. This will never be more than 20mins of thinking or reading on a subject and am open to chatting with students or parents about when this would be most appropriate for their schedules! I’ll alw...

Gavin C
Gavin was a great tutor for my AQA A level NEA Coursework, helping me go from 20/40 to 33/40. His effort, lesson planning analysis were especially useful and helped me understand how to construct my arguments in accordance with the mark scheme on a higher level.

Eloise S
Eloise is a brilliant tutor. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her lessons are very engaging. She has helped me a lot with my content understanding and my essay skills by helping me draft essays and reviewing the paragraphs I have written. She is a very understanding teacher and adapts to your level of knowledge, I never feel out of my depth during her lessons. I have felt my confidence in history increase steadily as she has been my tutor and I now I am feeling a lot more confident and less overwhelmed about my A-Levels. I would absolutely recommend Eloise as a history tutor, especially if you struggle to take and in and remember the content, as she breaks it down and makes the learning a lot more manageable. She has also helped me a lot with the synthesis questions and has helped me understand how to write them in a more effective way.

Paul is such an amazing and experienced tutor, he's immensely helpful and resourceful in supporting my daughter through her A-Level journey. His broad knowledge in the syllabus is evident through the way he prepares the class in advance. Not only does he ensure that my daughter is best equipped with the knowledge she needs but also consolidates her confidence with exam techniques. My daughter has seen consistent improvement in her writing and grades ever since she started learning from Paul,I highly recommend him as a tutor.

Andrew D
Andrew is an amazing tutor!! at the beginning of year 13 I was finding history incredibly difficult and felt defeated. I was on E's and C' but with Andrew's help I have been able to achieve A/B grades. Andrew is very intelligent, patient, kind and supportive which made me enjoy history and not feel stuck. His intelligence on my topics was super helpful and has made me feel so confident in myself. I would seriously recommend him for tutoring as he is consistent and lovely!!
