History Isn't Just About the Past – It's About Building Their Future
Studying History is one of the best ways for your child to learn how to think, not just what to think. It's the skill of looking at a source and asking, 'Who wrote this and why?'. It’s about building a compelling argument and defending it with evidence. Whether they're exploring Leicester's own rich story, from its Roman foundations to the incredible discovery of Richard III, or grappling with global events, they are developing a sharp, analytical mind. These are the exact skills that top universities and future employers are looking for.

The Right Support to See Your Child Thrive in History
A great tutor does more than explain the Norman Conquest; they see the spark in your child and figure out how to fan it into a flame. We focus on matching your child with someone who gets them – their learning style, their worries, and their ambitions. It’s a partnership built on trust and encouragement, creating a space where your child feels confident enough to ask questions, challenge ideas, and finally see themselves as a real historian.
Imagine lessons tailored not just to the curriculum, but to your child’s curiosity. One week they might be mastering essay structure for a crucial piece of coursework, the next they could be analysing propaganda posters from WWII because it suddenly clicked for them. This is where learning becomes personal and progress feels real. It’s those lightbulb moments, happening in real-time, that build lasting confidence.
And it all happens online, fitting seamlessly around your family's life in Leicester. No stressful journeys after school, no geographical limits. Your child can learn from a leading expert on the Cold War or a specialist in medieval history, all from the comfort of your home. With over 4,100 positive reviews, parents tell us this blend of flexibility and expertise is a game-changer.

Eloise is a great tutor for my AQA A level NEA Coursework, helping me go from 20/40 to 33/40.

Julian is an extremely helpful and thorough A-level History tutor. He has great subject knowledge and goes to a lot of effort to mark and give clear, detailed feedback on my essays. After 3 lessons with him I feel that there has been a significant improvement in my essay writing skills. He has really shown me how to improve my exam technique and what the examiners are looking for - well beyond what teachers at school ever taught me! Highly recommend :)

Andrew D
Andrew is an amazing tutor!! at the beginning of year 13 I was finding history incredibly difficult and felt defeated. I was on E's and C' but with Andrew's help I have been able to achieve A/B grades. Andrew is very intelligent, patient, kind and supportive which made me enjoy history and not feel stuck. His intelligence on my topics was super helpful and has made me feel so confident in myself. I would seriously recommend him for tutoring as he is consistent and lovely!!
