Phil R
Bringing History to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

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.

How effective is online History tutoring compared to in-person?
Online tutoring is just as effective, and often more so! It offers huge benefits, like access to a wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK. With features like interactive whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are engaging and dynamic. Plus, the convenience of learning from home in Durham saves you time and travel stress.
What if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the perfect fit after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
My child also needs support with A-Level English. Do you offer tutors for other subjects?
We do. We have expert online tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like English, maths, and sciences to languages, music, and even coding. You can find all the support your child needs right here.
Can a tutor help my child use Durham's local heritage to enrich their studies?
What a great idea! Yes, a good tutor can definitely help your child draw connections between their curriculum and the rich history on their doorstep, from Roman Britain to the Prince Bishops. Using local examples can make their essays and understanding of historical context much stronger.
How do you find the right History tutor for my child?
Our platform allows you to filter tutors by subject, level, and expertise. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors beforehand to ensure you find someone who matches your child's personality and learning style.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
My child finds writing History essays really daunting. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common challenge, and our tutors are brilliant at helping with it. They can break down the process, teaching your child how to structure an argument, use evidence effectively, and write with clarity and confidence until it becomes second nature.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE and A-Level History?
Yes. We have a rigorous selection process, and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Many of our History tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in the subject from top universities. You can view each tutor's qualifications on their profile.
How much does online tutoring for a student in Durham cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's fee clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
How do you find the right History tutor for my child?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions more or less frequently depending on your child's needs, such as adding extra lessons before an important exam.
