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...

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.

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 a competitive university like UCL or SOAS. Can a History tutor really help?
Absolutely. Tutors for students in Islington focus on developing the deeper analytical and critical thinking skills these top universities look for. It's less about memorising facts and more about learning how to build a strong argument, analyse sources, and show intellectual curiosity – qualities that make a UCAS application truly stand out.
With the high standards at schools like Highbury Fields, how does a tutor add value?
A great tutor acts as a partner to your child's school education. They can reinforce what's taught in class, offer a different perspective, and provide focused, one-to-one support on specific areas where your child might be struggling. This personalised attention can be key to building the confidence they need to participate more actively in a competitive school environment.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place via video call in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard. Your child can talk with their tutor, share documents, and work through problems in real-time, all from the comfort of your home in Islington. All you need is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors qualified to teach History?
Yes, completely. We take pride in selecting passionate and experienced tutors from across the UK. Many are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in History from top universities. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all are background-checked, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we understand that. We have a first lesson guarantee: if you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit 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.
Can a tutor help with a specific GCSE or A-Level History syllabus?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. When you search, you can filter for tutors who specialise in your child's specific exam board to ensure the lessons are perfectly aligned with their curriculum and exam requirements.
How much do online History tutors for students in Islington cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
Is online tutoring just for academic subjects?
Not at all! Whilst we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like History, Maths, and English, we also have experts who teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, drawing, and even public speaking. It's all about helping your child grow their confidence and find their passions.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Very flexible. Because our tutors are based all over the UK, you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can arrange session times that fit around your family's commitments, which we know is essential for busy Islington households.
Can a tutor use Islington's local history to make the subject more engaging?
Many tutors are brilliant at this. By connecting curriculum topics to local stories – whether it's the political radicals who met in Clerkenwell or the area's social changes – a tutor can make history feel immediate and relevant to your child, sparking a deeper interest.
How do we find the right tutor for our child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any specific questions you might have about how they can help your child.
How much do online History tutors for students in Islington cost?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors are available to start within a few days. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message directly from their profile to arrange your first online session.
