History Isn't Just Dates – It's How Your Child Learns to Think
Studying History teaches so much more than names and events. It's about learning to analyse sources, build a compelling argument, and understand different perspectives. These are the critical thinking skills that top universities look for. Imagine your child walking past Lancaster Castle, not just seeing an old building, but understanding the power struggles it represents. This deeper engagement builds a confidence that goes far beyond the classroom, preparing them for demanding A-Levels and future academic challenges.

The Right Support to Build Their Confidence in History
The right tutor doesn't just teach the curriculum; they take the time to understand how your child's mind works. They spot the exact moment a concept becomes confusing and find a new way to explain it. It’s that personal connection that turns frustration with essay structure or source analysis into a genuine spark of interest, building a foundation of confidence for every lesson. Imagine a lesson that isn't a lecture, but a fascinating discussion. A tutor might use an interactive whiteboard to deconstruct a tricky document from the Tudor period, or help your child structure an argument about the causes of the First World War. These sessions are built around your child's specific needs, whether it's preparing for Lancaster's top schools or mastering the skills for GCSE success. Because the tutoring is online, your family's busy schedule is never a barrier. There's no travel across Lancaster after a long school day. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, connecting with a hand-picked History specialist from anywhere in the UK. It’s the highest quality support, designed to fit seamlessly into your life.

Christopher B
Experienced History tutor
I have been involved in education since 2002 when my own PE teachers told myself and a few friends if we wanted an after school basketball class we had to get the coaching qualifications and run it ourselves. Hardly looked back since! In 2009 I qualified with my BA in History and in 2011 achieved my teaching qualification and recognised professional status in 2013. In 2018 I also completed a Masters degree in History, committed as I am to becoming not just a general historian but a specialist in my main topic areas.

Kathy F
Creative History tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Amelia T
Dedicated History tutor
I’m a tutor because I genuinely love it. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 (one-to-one and small groups), and I’m big on making learning feel less like a punishment and more like, “Oh… I can do this.” I’m patient, upbeat, and a bit of a professional translator of “confusing school wording” into plain English. If a student is anxious, overwhelmed, or convinced they’re “bad” at a subject, I’m the person who will gently prove them wrong — step by step, without judgement, and with a few laughs along the way. Progress matters, but confidence is usually the thing that unlocks it. My academic background ...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Lancaster Royal Grammar School. Can a tutor help with their specific History curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students preparing for entry into academically demanding schools. They can focus on building the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to excel in competitive environments like LRGS and Ripley St Thomas, giving your child the confidence to thrive.
We live in Lancaster. Does my child's tutor need to know about local history?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many are skilled at connecting curriculum topics to local contexts to make learning more engaging. For a student in Lancaster, a tutor could easily incorporate the significance of Lancaster Castle or the city's Roman past into broader lessons on medieval or ancient history, making the subject feel much more relevant.
Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online lessons mean students in Lancaster can connect with the best subject specialists from across the UK, not just whoever lives nearby. With interactive whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging, plus you save time and stress with no travel involved.
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 session with a tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor, no questions asked.
My child has lost all confidence in History. Can a tutor really help?
This is exactly where one-to-one tutoring shines. A private tutor can go back to basics without classroom pressure, patiently rebuilding understanding and celebrating small wins. Over 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, but the boost in self-belief is often the biggest change parents see.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and capable expert.
My child is interested in more than just school subjects. What else do you offer?
We believe in learning for life! Beyond History, we have tutors for hundreds of subjects. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or develop their creative writing skills, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
How much do online History tutors cost for a student in Lancaster?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, giving you complete flexibility to find the right support within your budget.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are an hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange shorter or longer sessions, or book more frequent lessons during busy exam periods, directly with your tutor. It’s all about what works for your child.
Can a tutor help my child with their specific A-Level History topics?
Yes. Our tutors cover a huge range of exam boards and A-Level modules. When you search, you can filter for tutors with experience in the specific historical periods or topics your child is studying to find the perfect specialist for their needs.
My child is interested in more than just school subjects. What else do you offer?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for History tutors, compare profiles, and send a message to the ones you like. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson for your child in Lancaster booked within a day or two.
