From Hadrian's Wall to a Durham Degree: Why History Really Matters in Newcastle
Living in the North East, your child is surrounded by history, from Roman forts to the cradle of the Industrial Revolution. But excelling in History for GCSE and A-Level is about more than facts; it’s about crafting compelling arguments and analysing complex sources. These are precisely the skills that make an application stand out to selective schools and admissions tutors at leading universities. Mastering History teaches your child to think critically and write persuasively – abilities that will open doors for the rest of their life.

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...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the History demands of schools like RGS or Newcastle High?
Absolutely. Many of our History tutors are experienced in helping students meet the high academic standards of selective schools. They can focus on developing the critical thinking and sophisticated essay-writing skills required, ensuring your child feels prepared and confident in a competitive environment.
My child hopes to study History at a top university like Durham. Can a tutor support this?
Yes, this is a perfect goal for our tutors. They can provide in-depth A-Level support to help your child achieve the necessary grades, as well as offer guidance on personal statements and developing the kind of historical arguments that impress university admissions teams.
Is online History tutoring as effective as finding someone in person in Newcastle?
We believe it’s even more effective. Online tutoring gives your child access to the best History specialists from across the UK, not just who is available locally. With features like interactive whiteboards and session recordings, it offers a flexible and powerful learning experience from the comfort of your home.
Can a tutor help my child use local examples from the North East in their History essays?
That's a fantastic way to make an essay stand out. Whilst our tutors are UK-wide, many are skilled at guiding students to incorporate relevant local history, from the region's industrial heritage to its Roman past, to strengthen their arguments and demonstrate deeper understanding.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the perfect match.
How do you ensure your History tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their credentials verified by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're connecting with a genuine expert in their field.
Can we get a tutor who specialises in a specific part of the History curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors cover a huge range of topics. You can use our search filters to find specialists in anything from Medieval Britain and the Tudors to Modern American History or the Cold War, ensuring your child gets expert help in the specific area they're studying.
How much do online History lessons cost for a student in Newcastle?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus and making real progress. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do you offer tutoring for other subjects besides History?
We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from other humanities like Politics and English, to Maths, Sciences, languages, and even practical skills like coding or music. We're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
What technology does my child need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs 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 special software to download.
Can we get a tutor who specialises in a specific part of the History curriculum?
You can start looking right away. Many of our tutors respond in under an hour, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. Our platform makes it easy to find and connect with the right person quickly.
