asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is worried about the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms and universities like UCL. Can a History tutor help?

Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They can help your child master the specific skills—like source analysis and constructing complex arguments—that examiners look for to award the highest grades. They provide targeted support that builds both the knowledge and the confidence needed to stand out.

We feel our local comprehensive in Kilburn is great, but my child needs more specialised History support. How does this work?

We completely understand. Our online tutors are here to complement your child's schoolwork, not replace it. They can provide that focused, one-to-one attention to dive into topics your child finds tricky, practise exam technique, or explore areas of history they're passionate about, giving them an edge and deepening their understanding.

Is online tutoring really as effective as having someone visit our home in Kilburn?

Yes, and for many families, it's even better. Online tutoring offers incredible flexibility and removes the need for travel. More importantly, it gives your child in Kilburn access to the best tutors from across the entire UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. With interactive tools and focused one-to-one sessions, it's just as personal and effective.

What happens if my child doesn't click with the first History tutor we try?

It's so important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. We have a first lesson guarantee for this reason. If it’s not the right 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 has lost their passion for History due to exam pressure. Can a tutor help with that?

This is a very common concern, and a great tutor can make all the difference. By making sessions engaging, connecting historical events to your child's interests, and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild confidence and remind your child why they loved the subject in the first place.

How do you ensure your History tutors are qualified and safe?

We take this incredibly seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team to assess their expertise and teaching ability. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

Do your tutors cover specific exam boards for GCSE and A-Level History?

Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in particular exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can view their experience on their profiles and even filter your search to find a tutor who is an expert in the exact specification your child is studying for.

How much do online History tutors 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. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget.

How flexible are the lesson times?

Very flexible! That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's schedule. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile before you even send a message.

Can a tutor help my child explore London's rich history as part of their studies?

Definitely. Many of our tutors are skilled at making history relevant and exciting. They can help your child connect their curriculum to the incredible history on their doorstep, from Roman London to the Blitz, making their learning more vivid and memorable.

We're also looking for help with English and maybe learning the guitar. Do you offer other subjects?

We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. From core academics like Maths, English, and the Sciences to music, languages, and coding, we're here to support all of your child's learning interests. You can search for any subject on our site.

Do your tutors cover specific exam boards for GCSE and A-Level History?

Communication is key. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. You'll also see it in your child's growing confidence, their improved schoolwork, and their renewed enthusiasm for the subject.
