Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a highly competitive Guildford school. How can a tutor help them stand out in History?

We completely understand the pressure. Our tutors specialise in helping students move beyond just knowing the facts to developing sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills. They can work with your child on interpreting complex sources and building nuanced arguments – the very things that examiners and university admissions tutors look for.

Can a tutor help with History A-Level requirements for competitive universities like Surrey or Oxbridge?

Absolutely. Many of our History tutors are experienced in preparing students for top-tier university applications. They can focus on developing the high-level critical thinking and argumentative skills required to achieve the A/A* grades often needed for these competitive courses.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a discussion-based subject like History?

Yes, and in many ways, it's better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for analysing texts and sources together. The focused, one-to-one environment encourages students to articulate their ideas without classroom pressure. Plus, it gives your child in Guildford access to top History specialists from anywhere in the UK, not just whoever 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 onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both deep subject knowledge and a real passion for teaching. They are experts at making history engaging and accessible.

What if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first lesson isn't a perfect fit, 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 challenging. Can a tutor help with that specifically?

Definitely. This is one of the most common areas we help with. Our tutors are brilliant at breaking down essay structure, from crafting a strong thesis statement to using evidence effectively and writing a powerful conclusion. They provide the scaffolding your child needs to write with confidence and clarity.

How much do online History tutors for students in Guildford cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically 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.

Can we get a tutor for a very specific History topic, like the Tudors or the Cold War?

Yes. That's a huge benefit of having access to tutors from across the UK. You can use our search filters to find a tutor who is a specialist in the specific period or topic your child is studying for their exams in Guildford.

How flexible is the scheduling for lessons?

It's completely flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book session times that fit around your family's schedule, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. It's designed to work for you.

My child is interested in politics. Do you offer tutoring for that as well?

Yes, we do. We have expert tutors across a huge range of subjects, including Politics, Sociology, and Economics. Many students find that tutoring in a related subject can really enhance their understanding of History by providing a broader context.

Can a tutor use local Guildford history to make topics more engaging?

While our tutors are based across the UK, many are skilled at weaving in local context to make learning more tangible. A great tutor can use examples like Guildford Castle or the local area's wartime history as a jumping-off point to explore broader themes your child is studying.

How much do online History tutors for students in Guildford cost?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to download. We've made it as easy as possible to get started.
