Emma B
Friendly History tutor
Hi, I’m Emma and I am currently studying at the University of Cambridge.I like to keep my teaching very flexible to the student as I appreciate that everyone is unique with how they best learn. Therefore I prefer to offer a variety of options, including going over work set by the school, offering questions of my own, carrying out topic specific lessons where I would typically use a powerpoint. I think having a discussion and taking things through is the best way to learn for a lot of subjects and would therefore try to incorporate this into every task where possible.I also used to do different t...
Benedict is a true find! He’s made History interesting for my daughter, she’s learnt more in a month than she has at school all year. He’s patient, makes it fun & gives feedback. Well worth it.

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 attends a good school in Dumfries, but I worry it's not enough for a top university like Glasgow. Can a tutor really bridge that gap?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They go beyond the curriculum to build the specific analytical and essay-writing skills that top university admissions tutors are looking for. They can turn a solid understanding into a standout application by focusing on critical interpretation and sophisticated argument, giving your child the competitive edge they need.
Are there History tutors available online who understand the Scottish curriculum for students in Dumfries?
Yes. We have a wide range of expert History tutors from across the UK, many of whom are specialists in the SQA curriculum, including National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and find the perfect match for your child's needs in Dumfries.
Is online tutoring as effective as finding someone in person for a subject like History?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring gives your child in Dumfries access to the very best History specialists from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. With interactive tools like whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging, plus you save time and hassle with no travel involved.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we understand that. If for any reason the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. We're here to make sure you find someone your child genuinely connects with.
How do you vet your History tutors?
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 interviewed, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified to ensure they have the expertise and passion to make a real difference for your child.
My child is also studying Politics. Do you offer tutors for other subjects too?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths and English to other humanities, languages, and even practical skills like coding or musical instruments. You can find all the support your child needs right here.
How flexible are the lesson schedules for a busy family in Dumfries?
Incredibly flexible. You arrange lesson times directly with your tutor, so you can find a slot that works perfectly around school, sports, and other family commitments. Whether it's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays, you can create a schedule that fits your life.
How much does online History tutoring cost for a student in Dumfries?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget.
Can a tutor help my child explore local history around Dumfries to make their studies more engaging?
That's a fantastic idea! Many of our tutors love to make learning relevant and can certainly incorporate topics of local interest, like the Covenanters or Robert Burns, into lessons. It's a great way to bring the subject to life. Just mention it to your chosen tutor when you connect.
What technology does my child need for their online lessons?
It's very straightforward. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Whilst every child learns at their own pace, our focused, one-to-one approach is designed for impact. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first, however, is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
How flexible are the lesson schedules for a busy family in Dumfries?
The most common session length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss your child's specific needs with your tutor, and some may offer shorter or longer sessions if required.
