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 is aiming for Exeter School's sixth form. Can a tutor help with the step-up to A-Level History?
Absolutely. Many of our History tutors specialise in the transition from GCSE to A-Level. They can help your child develop the advanced essay writing and critical analysis skills needed to thrive in a demanding academic environment like Exeter School, building a strong foundation for success.
We have our sights set on the University of Exeter's History department. Can tutoring support this goal?
Yes. Our tutors, many of whom are Russell Group graduates themselves, understand what top universities look for. They can help your child cultivate a deep historical understanding and articulate complex arguments in a way that stands out on a university application and prepares them for undergraduate study.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like History?
It is, and it offers unique advantages. Online sessions use interactive whiteboards for analysing sources and mind-mapping essays, making learning dynamic. Crucially, it gives your child in Exeter access to a UK-wide network of specialists, so you can find the perfect expert for their specific A-Level topics, not just who is local.
How do you ensure your History tutors are high quality?
We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both deep subject knowledge and a real passion for teaching. Our community of over 4,100 reviews gives you a clear picture of their success.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is key. We have a first lesson guarantee: if you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor use local Exeter history to make the subject more engaging?
Many tutors are brilliant at this! Whilst lessons cover the curriculum, a great tutor can weave in relevant local examples, from Exeter's Roman past to its cathedral's history, to bring concepts to life and make historical context feel more immediate and real for your child.
How much do online History tutors for students in Exeter typically cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, usually starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs. A-Level). You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect fit for your budget.
My child also struggles with English Literature essays. Can you help with that too?
Yes, we can. We have thousands of expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like English and Maths to skills like coding and music theory. You can find dedicated support for any subject your child needs help with.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
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 built into our website, so there's no complex software to download.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long. Most families find a weekly session provides the perfect consistency for building skills and confidence, but the schedule is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor to agree upon.
Can a tutor help my child with their specific A-Level exam board?
Definitely. Our tutors have experience with all major UK exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, etc.). You can see which boards a tutor specialises in on their profile, ensuring the support is perfectly aligned with what your child is studying in school.
How much do online History tutors for students in Exeter typically cost?
This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor is also a mentor who builds confidence. By breaking down challenges into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help your child rediscover their belief in themselves. That shift in mindset is often the biggest transformation of all.
