Max S
Engaging and passionate History tutor
I’m an engaging and passionate tutor of History based in South London. I specialise in Contemporary History (French Revolution onwards), with particular expertise in British, American, Russian and German history. I like to create very clear frameworks and agendas for what we need to achieve within our allotted time together. However, within that framework I like to employ a very relaxed, informal style. Sessions are interactive and free from rigidity without being too discursive. I believe in ultimately ‘coaching’ students to arrive at their own answers and conclusions through useful prompts, quest...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends a competitive south London school. Can a tutor help them stand out in History?

Absolutely. Many parents in south London come to us with this goal. Our online tutors are experienced in helping students develop the deeper analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades in demanding environments, moving beyond the core curriculum to build true subject mastery.

We're aiming for a top university like King's College London or UCL. Can a History tutor help with this?

Yes. Our tutors, many of whom are graduates from top UK universities themselves, understand what admissions tutors look for. They can help your child hone the critical thinking and articulate arguments that make a university application shine, focusing on the skills needed for A-Level success and beyond.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like History?

It really is. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, perfect for analysing texts and planning essays together. The biggest advantage is choice. Your child in south London can connect with a leading expert on the Tudors from Manchester or a Cold War specialist from Edinburgh, ensuring they get the best possible support.

What if my child doesn't click with their first History tutor?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We'll listen to your feedback and cover the cost of your first lesson with a different tutor.

How do you ensure your History tutors are high quality?

We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has proven expertise in their subject. This ensures your child learns from a knowledgeable and trusted professional.

Can a tutor help with specific parts of the GCSE or A-Level History syllabus?

Definitely. Whether it's the Norman Conquest for GCSE or Russian history for A-Level, our tutors can create a tailored plan to tackle specific topics, exam modules, or coursework assignments. Just let them know where your child needs the most support.

How flexible are the lesson times?

Very. We know that life in south London is busy. You can schedule lessons at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. You arrange times directly with your tutor to find what works best.

What do we need for an online lesson to work?

It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. It's designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible.

Are the lessons one-to-one?

Yes, all our lessons are one-to-one. This allows the tutor to give your child their full attention, tailor every session to their specific needs, and build a strong, supportive relationship where your child feels comfortable asking questions.

How much do online History tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect tutor for your budget.

How long will it be before we see a change in our child's confidence?

Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they notice a change in their child's attitude and confidence after just a few sessions. The consistent, personalised support helps them feel more capable and less anxious about the subject.

How flexible are the lesson times?

We do. Many students find that History pairs brilliantly with subjects like Politics, Sociology, or Economics. We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects, so if your child wants to explore connected disciplines or even learn a new skill like coding, we can help.
