Lina H
Professional and inspiring History and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

I've taught children with SEN, EAL, behavioural problems and gifted children, across all primary stages.

Hywel is an excellent history tutor who really helped our daughter to understand course content she had missed. He is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic & supportive. He knew our daughter well enough to adopt the approach to learning that was best for her & even went out of his way to help with a uni application. We are grateful for his input & would highly recommend him.

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 attends a high-achieving school in Hackney like Cardinal Pole. Can a tutor keep up with the fast pace?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can work in partnership with the school curriculum, helping to consolidate learning, plug any gaps, and even stretch your child further. They can provide focused support for the specific demands of GCSEs and A-Levels, ensuring your child feels confident, not overwhelmed.
We're worried about the competition for top London universities. Can a History tutor help with this?
Definitely. Many of our History tutors are experienced in helping students prepare university applications. They can help your child develop the critical thinking and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors look for, and even assist with personal statement guidance for History-related degrees.
Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?
We believe it's even better for many families. Online lessons remove travel time, allow for flexible scheduling, and give your child in Hackney access to the very best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. Our interactive whiteboard and lesson recordings mean the quality of teaching is exceptional.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we understand that. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, 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 ensure your History tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven expertise in their subject, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the History syllabus, like coursework or source analysis?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Whether it's structuring a coursework essay, mastering source analysis techniques, or revising for a specific exam module, the tutor will tailor every session to your child's exact requirements.
My child finds History boring. How can a tutor help with that?
A great tutor can bring history to life! By connecting events to your child's interests, using engaging resources, and telling the stories behind the facts, they can transform the subject from a list of dates into a fascinating exploration of people and power.
How much do online History tutors for Hackney students cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., Primary, GCSE, A-Level). You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How long is a typical History tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus and making real progress. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs and schedule.
My child's interests go beyond the school curriculum. Do you offer tutoring in other areas?
We do! We have tutors for over 300 subjects. So if their passion for History sparks an interest in Politics, Classical Civilisations, or even learning a new language, we can almost certainly find an expert tutor to help them explore it.
What do we need for an online lesson?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom works directly in your browser, so there's no complex software to install.
My child finds History boring. How can a tutor help with that?
You can get started very quickly. Simply browse our selection of History tutors, message a few who seem like a good fit, and you could be booking your first session for as early as tomorrow.
