My lessons are engaging while also being rigorous and challenging. I believe that historical study should focus on sources and scholarship in order to enable students to better understand the world around them. My lessons include plenty of exam question practice along with a focus on the...

* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Brilliant History tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
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.
