Living in the New Forest, you know the high standards set by excellent local sixth forms like Brockenhurst College and the competition for top Russell Group universities like Southampton.

Building the Skills That Top Universities Look For
A-Level History is more than just dates and events; it teaches your child how to think critically, analyse complex sources, and build a compelling argument. These are precisely the skills that admissions tutors at competitive universities want to see. Whether they're dissecting the causes of the Tudor Reformation or evaluating historical interpretations, a strong grasp of History demonstrates intellectual curiosity and the ability to handle challenging degree-level work, opening doors to courses in law, politics, journalism, and beyond.

The Right Support to Turn A-Level Pressure into Confidence
The best learning happens when it's personal. That’s why our tutors take the time to understand how your child learns, what their specific goals are, and where they might be feeling stuck. We handpick the very best, background-checked tutors from across the UK—only 1 in 8 who apply are successful—so you can feel confident your child is building a genuine connection with a true expert. Each online lesson is shaped entirely around your child's needs. One week they might focus on perfecting their essay technique for a question on the Cold War; the next, they could be workshopping ideas for their personal statement to make it truly compelling for a university application. This focused attention helps fill any gaps in their knowledge and builds the confidence they need to excel. It's a proven approach, with 90% of students improving by at least one grade. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With our online platform, you can connect with the perfect History tutor without worrying about travel. Lessons can be scheduled at times that work for you, giving your child the support they need, right from home. It's why over 4,100 parents have rated us 4.6 stars and helped over 200,000 students find success.

Rory F
Rory is tutoring my son for his A level History and has been superb in his support from the get go. Rory has helped him understand the essay writing structure and technique distinctions between GCSE and A level. Rory's lessons are well planned and his advice and guidance tailored to detailed understanding of topic content and maximising the knowledge gleaned to various exam questions e.g. the difference between just describing and actual argument / evidence evaluation. Rory is very approachable and provides feedback to parents on how well lessons have progressed and, importantly, where the biggest opportunities are for the student ahead of their set homework. I would strongly recommend Rory as a tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is applying to the University of Southampton. Can a tutor specifically help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with applications to Russell Group universities. They can help your child tailor their personal statement, practise interview techniques, and deepen their subject knowledge to show they are an ideal candidate for competitive courses.
My child attends Brockenhurst College. Can we find a tutor familiar with its curriculum?
Yes, you can. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, including their familiarity with specific exam boards and curricula used by colleges like Brockenhurst. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their specific experience.
How can a tutor help my child with their History personal statement for university?
A great personal statement goes beyond the syllabus. A tutor can act as a sounding board, helping your child explore unique historical interests, structure their thoughts clearly, and articulate why they are passionate about the subject. This guidance can make their application far more memorable.
How do I choose the best History tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, check each tutor's qualifications and experience, and watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find one your child will connect with.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online History tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, so your child can focus on learning.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform must pass an identity check and have an enhanced DBS check before they can start teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring the highest quality and safety.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
This is different for every child. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. The great thing about one-to-one tuition is that it's completely flexible and tailored to your child's pace.
Can tutoring help if my child is finding A-Level History overwhelming?
Definitely. A-Levels can be a big step up. A tutor can provide a calm, supportive space to break down difficult topics, organise revision, and rebuild confidence. Having that one-to-one support can make a huge difference to your child's stress levels and enjoyment of the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master a new language, or get started with coding, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
