He knew our daughter well enough to adopt the approach to learning that was best for her & even went out of his way to help with a uni application.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Portsmouth Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the specific History skills they'll need?
Absolutely. Many of our History tutors are experienced in preparing students for entrance exams and the high academic standards of schools like Portsmouth Grammar. They can focus on developing the precise analytical, source interpretation, and essay-writing skills required to stand out.
With Portsmouth's naval history, can a tutor help my child connect their learning to our local heritage?
Yes, this is a fantastic way to bring the subject to life! An expert tutor can help your child use local examples, from the Victory to the D-Day Story, as case studies to explore broader historical themes, strengthening their understanding and making their learning more relevant and engaging.
Is online tutoring as effective as having a tutor visit our home in Portsmouth?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring gives your child access to a much wider pool of specialist History tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. Plus, with features like interactive whiteboards and session recordings, it provides a rich, flexible learning experience without the travel time.
What if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If it's not the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure tutors are high quality?
We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified to ensure they have the expertise and teaching skill to help your child succeed.
Can a tutor help with specific exam techniques for GCSE or A-Level History?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek our help. Our tutors are well-versed in the requirements of various exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel) and can provide targeted coaching on everything from source analysis to structuring high-scoring essays.
We have a busy schedule with after-school clubs. How flexible are the lesson times?
Very flexible. Because our tutors are based all over the UK, you can find sessions to fit around your family's commitments, including evenings and weekends. You arrange times directly with your tutor to find a slot that works for everyone.
How much do online History lessons for a student in Portsmouth cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level). You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
We're worried about the step up to A-Levels and university. How can tutoring prepare them?
This is a key area where our tutors can help. They can bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level by introducing more complex historical concepts and the independent study skills needed. For those considering degrees at places like the University of Portsmouth, a tutor can foster the deep analytical skills that universities look for.
How quickly can we find a History tutor?
You can start looking right away. Simply search for History tutors, filter by level, and send messages to those who seem like a good fit. Many parents find and arrange the first lesson for their child within 24-48 hours.
We have a busy schedule with after-school clubs. How flexible are the lesson times?
Yes, we cover over 300 subjects. Whether your child needs support in maths or science, wants to learn a new language like Spanish, or even explore a passion like coding or music production, you can find an expert tutor on our platform.
