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.
With the local focus on STEM, how can a History tutor really help my child in Gloucester?
We hear this concern a lot. A specialist History tutor helps by framing the subject as a vital asset. They build skills in critical analysis, argumentation, and communication that are highly valued in any field, including STEM. They act as a mentor, reinforcing your child's passion and showing them how it opens doors to top universities and careers, ensuring their interests aren't sidelined.
Can a tutor help my child with History for entry or success at schools like Sir Thomas Rich's or The Crypt?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students develop the deep subject knowledge and analytical skills required for success at academically rigorous schools. They can focus on essay technique, source analysis, and historical debate to ensure your child feels confident and prepared to excel amongst their peers.
Can a tutor use Gloucester's local history to make lessons more engaging?
Many of our tutors are brilliant at this. Whilst they aren't based in Gloucester, they can certainly incorporate local heritage—from its Roman foundations to its role in the Civil War or the history of the Docks—into lessons. Using familiar landmarks and stories is a fantastic way to bring the subject to life for your child.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like History?
Yes, and in many ways, it's better. Online sessions use interactive whiteboards for analysing sources, shared documents for essay planning, and a wealth of digital archives. Crucially, it gives your child in Gloucester access to a far wider pool of specialists from across the UK, rather than being limited to whoever is local.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first History tutor?
It's so important that your child and their tutor have a great connection. We get it. If it doesn't feel like the right 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.
How do you make sure your History tutors are high quality?
We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a real person, background-checked, and has proven subject expertise and teaching ability. We're proud to have over 4,100 reviews with an average rating of 4.6/5 stars.
Can we get help with specific parts of the GCSE or A-Level History curriculum?
Of course. Our tutors can provide targeted support for specific modules, whether it's understanding Elizabethan England, getting to grips with Cold War tensions, or preparing for coursework. Just mention the exam board and topics when you search, and you'll find the right specialist.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our custom-built online classroom has everything else built-in, including an interactive whiteboard and document sharing.
How much do online History lessons cost for a student in Gloucester?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level). Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an excellent, experienced tutor who fits within your budget.
My child also enjoys Politics. Do you offer tutors for other humanities subjects?
Yes, we do. We have a wide range of expert tutors across the humanities, including Politics, Sociology, Classics, and Philosophy. We also offer support in hundreds of other subjects, from core academics to music, coding, and languages, all available online.
How flexible is scheduling? We have a lot of after-school commitments.
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays. Tutors display their availability on their profiles, making it easy to find a time that works.
Can we get help with specific parts of the GCSE or A-Level History curriculum?
Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a shift in confidence after just a few sessions. Having a dedicated, supportive expert who is focused entirely on them can make a huge difference, often leading to them feeling more willing to speak up in class and tackle challenging topics.
