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 S
Eloise is a brilliant tutor. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her lessons are very engaging. She has helped me a lot with my content understanding and my essay skills by helping me draft essays and reviewing the paragraphs I have written. She is a very understanding teacher and adapts to your level of knowledge, I never feel out of my depth during her lessons. I have felt my confidence in history increase steadily as she has been my tutor and I now I am feeling a lot more confident and less overwhelmed about my A-Levels. I would absolutely recommend Eloise as a history tutor, especially if you struggle to take and in and remember the content, as she breaks it down and makes the learning a lot more manageable. She has also helped me a lot with the synthesis questions and has helped me understand how to write them in a more effective way.

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!!
