Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive school like King Edward VI. Can a tutor help with the required level in History?

Absolutely. Many of our History tutors are experienced in preparing students for entry into academically demanding schools. They can focus on developing the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to meet and exceed those high standards, giving your child the confidence to perform at their best.

We're hoping for the University of Southampton. How can A-Level History tutoring strengthen an application?

A-Level History is highly respected by universities like Southampton. A tutor can help your child achieve the top grades needed by deepening their subject knowledge, honing their argumentation skills, and preparing them for the step-up to undergraduate-level thinking. This demonstrates a genuine passion and academic rigour that strengthens any UCAS application.

Is online tutoring as effective as having a tutor visit our home in Southampton?

Yes, and for many families, it's even better. Online tutoring gives your child access to a much wider pool of specialist History tutors from all over the UK, not just who is available locally. With interactive whiteboards, screen sharing, and recorded sessions, it's just as engaging, plus it saves you travel time and fits flexibly around your family's schedule.

How do you ensure tutors are qualified to teach History?

We have a rigorous selection process – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. We verify their academic background, teaching experience, and their ability to teach their subject brilliantly. All tutors are also required to have a valid DBS check, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

What happens if my child doesn't click with the first History tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is so important. We're proud of our 'first lesson guarantee'. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

My child struggles with a specific exam board (e.g., AQA, Edexcel). Can I find a tutor who specialises in it?

Yes, you can. You can filter your search for tutors who have specific experience with the AQA, Edexcel, OCR, or any other exam board your child is studying. This ensures they are familiar with the curriculum, question styles, and marking criteria, providing perfectly targeted support.

Can an online tutor help my child explore Southampton's local history?

Definitely. Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many are skilled at weaving local context into their lessons to make history more tangible. They can guide your child in researching Southampton's rich maritime history or its significance in WWII, using it as a fantastic case study to develop their historical skills.

How much do online History tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

What do we need to get started with online lessons?

It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.

My child finds History a bit dry. How can a tutor make it more engaging?

A great tutor brings the subject to life! They're experts at finding what sparks a student's interest, whether it's through incredible stories, connecting events to today's world, or using interactive tools. Many parents tell us their child has started to genuinely enjoy the subject for the first time.

Beyond History, can my child get help with other subjects?

Of course. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths and English to languages, music, and even coding. You can find all the support your child needs in one place.

Can an online tutor help my child explore Southampton's local history?

Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus. Most students have one session per week, but this is completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule with your tutor that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine.
