Brilliant History tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child's school in Derby is good, but I'm worried about them competing for Russell Group university places in History. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many families we support. Our tutors, many of whom are graduates from top universities themselves, specialise in helping students bridge that gap. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical, essay writing, and critical thinking skills that admissions tutors at competitive universities are specifically looking for.
Are your tutors familiar with Derby's local history and can they incorporate it into lessons?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many are skilled at weaving local context into their teaching to make history more tangible. For a student in Derby, this could mean exploring the significance of the Silk Mill or the story of Joseph Wright of Derby to illustrate broader national themes. It's a fantastic way to make learning more relevant and engaging.
How does online tutoring work for a subject like History?
It works brilliantly. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, perfect for analysing sources, planning essays, and looking at maps together. Tutors and students can share documents and notes in real-time. It’s just as effective as being in the same room, but with the added convenience of learning from home.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're very selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We accept just 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both deep subject knowledge and a real passion for teaching one-to-one.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session with a new tutor isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with an alternative tutor.
My child needs help with their A-Level History coursework. Can we find a tutor for that?
Yes. Many of our History tutors have extensive experience with the coursework components of GCSE and A-Level syllabuses for all major exam boards. You can use the filters when you search to find a tutor who has specific experience with coursework support.
How much does online History tutoring for a student in Derby cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident in class?
This is one of the biggest changes parents tell us they see. One-to-one attention from a tutor who believes in them helps your child build true confidence. They can ask questions they might be shy to ask in class, and when topics start to make sense, their self-belief grows. That's why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
We have a really busy schedule. How flexible is the booking?
Very flexible. Because we connect you with tutors across the UK, you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can schedule lessons at times that fit around your family's commitments, without any travel time.
Do you offer tutoring in other subjects, not just History?
Yes, we offer expert tutoring in over 300 subjects. So whether your child needs support in Maths or Science, wants to learn a new language like Spanish, or even take up coding or music, we can connect you with a brilliant online tutor.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
How much does online History tutoring for a student in Derby cost?
You can start by searching for History tutors on our website. Read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check their reviews from other parents. You can then message a few tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking your first lesson.
