From Historical Analysis to a Place at a Top University
History is far more than memorising dates; it’s the art of building a compelling argument and understanding how the past shapes our world. Imagine your child confidently dissecting a primary source on the Tudors or crafting a powerful essay on the Cold War. These are the sharp, analytical skills that impress admissions tutors and open doors to careers in law, policy, and journalism. From the Imperial War Museum to Greenwich's maritime past, south London itself shows how a deep understanding of history provides a powerful lens on the present.

Faiz K
Experienced History Tutor
As a medical student at King’s College and a former A-Level Student, I have enjoyed learning about Maths and Sciences, however, I thoroughly enjoy teaching it more. I plan on assisting my students by breaking down individual topics, and building their education from the ground up. I strongly believe in building strong foundations which allow us to continue to harder content. Once my students are able to build up their knowledge, I will push towards trickier questions. For students in exam years, getting closer to exam-styled questions is ideal, and sometimes pushing students towards challenging q...

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...

Shannon S
Shannon has been an outstanding tutor and as a parent I genuinely couldn’t have hoped for better. She has supported my son not only during lessons but also outside lesson time, guiding him through his GCSE History preparation with real care and commitment. Her subject knowledge is remarkable and she covered the full content quickly while boosting his confidence and exam readiness. I’m certain her efforts will reflect in his results. Thank you so much, Shannon.

Josh W
we originally looked for a tutor as my son needed a little bit of extra help coming towards his GCSEs. Josh was the first person we engaged with and we couldn’t be happier with the way he has risen to the challenge to try and get Leo up a couple of grades 5/6 weeks out from the exams. The service we received was amazing, it was structured, clear and mindful of the short time he had to get a reaction. Leo has advanced massively in the this short time both with his knowledge and confidence .We would recommend Josh to anyone looking for a history tutor. Thanks so much Josh!

Joe H
Joe was by far the most academically impactful teacher I've ever had the pleasure of being taught by.
He is very outgoing and easy to get along with, but further than this you can tell he cares about the student.
He constantly checks in with anything one may be struggling with during the lesson but also leaves meaningful and constructive feedback which is easy to follow.
I'd definitely recommend Joe as a tutor as his expertise is unparalleled.
