Rory F
Rory is tutoring my son for his A level History and has been superb in his support from the get go. Rory has helped him understand the essay writing structure and technique distinctions between GCSE and A level. Rory's lessons are well planned and his advice and guidance tailored to detailed understanding of topic content and maximising the knowledge gleaned to various exam questions e.g. the difference between just describing and actual argument / evidence evaluation. Rory is very approachable and provides feedback to parents on how well lessons have progressed and, importantly, where the biggest opportunities are for the student ahead of their set homework. I would strongly recommend Rory as a tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends one of the Torquay grammar schools. Can a tutor handle the demanding curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in supporting students at selective schools. They can help your child stay on top of the fast-paced curriculum, deepen their understanding of complex topics, and build the analytical skills needed to excel in a high-achieving environment.
We're aiming for a place at Exeter University. Can a tutor help with the step-up to A-Level History?
Yes, this is a perfect time to get support. Our A-Level History tutors can help bridge the gap from GCSE, teaching the advanced essay writing, critical thinking, and independent research skills that universities like Exeter value so highly. They can provide a huge confidence boost for this crucial stage.
Is online tutoring really as effective as having someone visit our home in Torquay?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring cuts out travel time and gives you access to a much wider choice of top tutors from across the UK, not just who happens to live nearby. With interactive tools like whiteboards, it’s just as personal and engaging, but with far more flexibility.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first History tutor we try?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If the first session isn't the perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. We're here to help you find the right match.
How are your History tutors vetted?
We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed by our team, and has proven academic and teaching experience to ensure they meet our high standards. You can be confident your child is learning from a true expert.
My child's main issue is structuring essays. Can we find a tutor who specialises in that?
Yes. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specifically mention skills like essay writing, source analysis, or exam technique in their profiles. This allows you to find an expert who can focus on the exact areas where your child needs the most support to improve.
We also need help with Maths. Do you offer tutors for other subjects?
We do! We have expert online tutors for over 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths, English and Science to languages, music, and even coding. You can find a specialist tutor for virtually any subject your child is studying or wants to explore.
How much does online History tutoring cost for a student in Torquay?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs. A-Level). You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
Can a tutor incorporate local Torquay history into the lessons?
That's a great idea to make learning more engaging. Whilst our tutors are UK-wide, many are happy to tailor sessions to your child's interests. You can discuss incorporating local examples, like Torquay's Victorian heritage or its role during wartime, with your chosen tutor during your initial chat.
Can we book sessions flexibly around school clubs and other commitments?
Of course. Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and schedule sessions at times that work for your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays.
We also need help with Maths. Do you offer tutors for other subjects?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss progress. The biggest sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow – when they start contributing more in class or tackling homework without the usual dread.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
