How History Teaches the Skills Top Universities Look For
History is so much more than memorising dates; it’s a training ground for a sharp, analytical mind. A great historian learns to question sources, construct a watertight argument, and communicate complex ideas with clarity. These are precisely the skills that make a university application shine. From analysing accounts of the Peterloo Massacre to debating the legacy of Manchester's industrial revolution, your child develops a critical perspective that will serve them not just in their A-Levels, but in their degree and future career.

Creative History tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities.

Alina W
Effective History tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

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. During this time, working in Guildford, Teesside and Liverpool I have developed...

Axel K
When my daughter faced some difficulties during her A level history course, we decided that she needs some help. I found Alex on one of the online tutoring platforms. We took a couple of lessons and my daughter’s tests results improved so much. But of the challenges was that we are from different language backgrounds. I didn’t believe it was possible to find someone who can explain the subject for a kid not speaking English language. Surprisingly it all worked perfectly! Alex is extremely helpful and supportive tutor. He always sends additional materials to study and the lesson obviously goes far beyond 1 hour online on the platform. I definitely can recommend Alex as a tutor with high attitude to a subject, reliable person and love to what he is doing!!!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child's school is great, but we're worried about the competition for History at the University of Manchester. Can a tutor help bridge that gap?
Absolutely. This is a common concern, and it's where one-to-one tutoring makes a huge difference. Our tutors can provide the focused, intensive preparation that stretches beyond the school curriculum. They'll work on advanced essay techniques, critical analysis, and the deeper historical debate that top universities look for in their applicants, giving your child the confidence to compete.
Are your tutors familiar with the standards of independent schools like Manchester Grammar School?
Many of our tutors are top graduates from leading universities and have experience teaching in a variety of school environments. They understand the high academic standards required for competitive entry and can tailor their approach to challenge and inspire your child, helping them develop the skills and depth of knowledge needed to perform at that level.
How does online tutoring work for a subject like History that needs so much discussion?
Online tutoring is brilliant for discussion-based subjects! Our interactive whiteboard allows tutors and students to analyse sources, mind-map essay plans, and review texts together in real-time. The one-to-one video call creates a focused space for deep conversation and debate, often with fewer distractions than a busy classroom.
My child is studying the Industrial Revolution. Can a tutor help them connect this to Manchester's local history?
Yes, many of our tutors are skilled at making history relevant and exciting. They can guide your child to explore how Manchester's own story—from its cotton mills to its role in social reform—provides a powerful case study for their national curriculum topics, bringing the subject to life.
What if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to great learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect 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.
How much do online History tutors for students in Manchester cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level, university). You can browse profiles and filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Are the tutors qualified to teach History?
Yes, completely. We take great care in selecting our tutors, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. They are all subject experts, interviewed by our team, and DBS checked. You can view each tutor's full qualifications, experience, and parent reviews on their profile.
My child also needs help with Politics for their A-Levels. Can you help with that too?
We certainly can. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, including Politics, Sociology, and Economics, which often complement History studies. You can find a separate specialist tutor for each subject your child needs support with.
How are online lessons scheduled?
Scheduling is simple and flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and request slots that work for your family. Many tutors offer evenings and weekends, so you can easily fit lessons around school, clubs, and other commitments here in Manchester.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no software to download.
How do I find the right History tutor for my child in Manchester?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right level (e.g., GCSE, A-Level) and have experience with your child's specific exam board. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're a great match.
Are the tutors qualified to teach History?
This is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. The personal attention from a tutor who believes in them can be transformative. Seeing your child start to contribute in class, tackle homework without fear, and talk enthusiastically about a subject they once found difficult is an amazing feeling.
