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.

David J
Experienced History Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...
