Elandra G
Attentive and patient History tutor
Hi there! I’m Elandra, an undergraduate at University College London (UCL). I completed my IB Diploma in 2022. Having so recently completed my secondary school studies, I am able to relate to students on academic challenges they might encounter. I am able to work closely alongside them to develop their confidence and ability to tackle challenges. I achieve this through building a relationship with each of my students; each tutoring session is wholly cultivated to best suit their needs. I may also occasionally set small tasks outside of lesson time to encourage the development of independent learning i...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive school in the area. Can an online tutor help them stand out in History?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in building the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that help students excel in selective environments. They can work with your child to develop the deeper understanding and confident arguments needed to achieve top grades at GCSE and A-Level, which is crucial for standing out.
We're concerned about future university applications to places like KCL or UCL. Do your tutors have experience with this?
Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top UK universities and have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements and preparing for the rigours of undergraduate study in History. They can provide the insight and academic extension needed to make an application shine.
Is online History tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online sessions use interactive whiteboards for analysing sources, shared documents for essay planning, and a host of digital resources. Crucially, it gives your child in Forest Hill access to a far wider pool of specialist History tutors from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby.
How do you ensure your History tutors are high quality?
We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed by a subject specialist, and chosen for their expertise and ability to teach in an engaging and supportive way. We focus on finding people who are not just experts, but also fantastic mentors.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?
Finding the right fit is the most important thing. We have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child finds writing History essays really stressful. 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 step-by-step, from understanding the question and structuring an argument to writing effective introductions and conclusions. They create a low-pressure environment to build skills and confidence.
How flexible are lesson times for a student in Forest Hill?
Very flexible. You can browse tutors' available times and find a slot that fits perfectly around your family's schedule, whether it's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. Because it's online, you save on travel time too, making it much easier to manage.
What exam boards do your History tutors cover for GCSE and A-Level?
Our tutors cover all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. You can filter your search on our website to find a tutor with specific experience in the exam board your child's school follows, ensuring the tuition is perfectly aligned with their curriculum.
We live in Forest Hill. Can a tutor help bring London's rich history to life for my child?
Definitely. A great online tutor can use digital resources, maps, and virtual tours to connect what your child is learning to the incredible history on their doorstep. They can provide context and enrichment that makes historical events feel more tangible and exciting, sparking a real passion for the subject.
How much does online History tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that also fits within your family's budget.
How will I know if my child is making real progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child’s progress. You'll be able to see improvements not just in their test scores and homework, but in their confidence and enthusiasm for the subject. Many parents tell us the first sign of success is seeing their child volunteer an answer in class for the first time.
How flexible are lesson times for a student in Forest Hill?
Yes! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. Whether your child needs help with maths and English, wants to learn to play the guitar, get coding, or even prepare for their driving theory test, you can find a brilliant online tutor with us.
