When history stops feeling like a battle
With the right person, GCSE History can change from a list of dates to remember into a subject that clicks. Suddenly, your child has a space to ask questions they might not ask in class, and starts seeing the connections between topics.
This new confidence makes a real difference when it comes to exams, and opens doors for their A-Level choices. We match tutors to your child's specific exam board, so every lesson is relevant to what they learn at school.
Find a tutor

Mark H
Mark is a fantastic teacher and easily the most knowledgable History teacher my son has every had.My son called him the GOAT (greatest of all time) in History and said there was no question that Mark couldn't answer. He is incredibly patient, professional and was an enormous confidence booster for my son who went from zero confidence in his ability to gaining a grade 7 at iGCSE. I would recommend Mark to anyone as a History teacher.

Josh W
Josh was my daughter's GCSE History tutor earlier this year and leading up to her exams. She found his sessions to be very (very) helpful. Josh was extremely good at finding the gaps in her knowledge base and bridging this into exam questions and technique. She found Josh to be very kind, understanding, friendly and easy to speak with. Overall, she was super pleased. Thank you Josh!

Lewis D
Lewis is an absolutely outstanding tutor whose cooperative, encouraging, and highly organised approach has made a world of difference. He supported my daughter throughout her GCSEs, completely transforming her confidence in a subject she previously found incredibly difficult to grasp.
Right from our very first session, Lewis brilliantly assessed her main areas of weakness.
He has a fantastic ability to break down complex, daunting topics into digestible, bite-sized pieces. Within a remarkably short space of time, he began building her skills up step-by-step.
Thanks to the flawless structures and thorough model answers he provided, even the daunting 16-mark questions became second nature to her.
I cannot recommend Lewis highly enough—thanks to his incredible support, my daughter's exam worries are officially history!
