What we cover
What a history specialist works through
History marks are won on structure and evidence as much as knowledge. Your tutor works on both: making sure your child knows the content, and knows how to build an answer that uses it well.
- Source analysis & interpretation
- Essay structure & argument
- Depth studies
- Period studies
- Thematic studies
- British history strands
- Historical significance & causation
- Exam technique & past papers
We prepare pupils across AQA, Edexcel and OCR, at both GCSE and A-Level history, building the KS3 source-analysis skills that make the jump to GCSE and beyond straightforward.
What you get
What History tutoring gets your child
More than a quick fix - a plan that closes gaps and builds the habits that carry a child well past the exam.
Confidence before exams
Your child rehearses the exact question types their exam board sets, so the format is familiar long before results day matters.
Essays that argue, not just describe
Your tutor teaches the structure that turns solid knowledge into a high-scoring answer, so content your child already knows finally earns full marks.
The next essay skill, named
Each report names the exact structural weakness to fix next (argument, evidence or source use), not just a topic to reread.
How lessons work
Diagnose, teach, track
Not a fixed syllabus taught in order regardless of what your child needs. Every history lesson follows this same three-part shape.
Diagnose
The first lesson finds the gaps in your child's history, not an assumption from a syllabus, and the plan is built backwards from there.
Teach
Lessons follow the plan the diagnosis builds, not a fixed syllabus, so time goes on what your child actually needs in history.
Track
A short written report after every lesson tells you what was covered, what went well, and the next thing to work on.
Matched, not browsed
We hand-pick your history tutor. You don't sift through a directory.
Choosing from a wall of profiles puts the hardest judgement - is this person right for my child? - on the parent. We make that call instead, and we stand behind it.
Tell us about your child
Year group, history goals and availability (about two minutes), and nothing to pay yet.
We find the right specialist
We shortlist on subject strength and level, so your child is only ever matched with a tutor experienced at their level, then confirm the tutor and price before you commit.
Start learning
Approve the tutor and the first lesson, then meet online, one-to-one, in your browser. No contracts.
A specialist, hand-matched
We are boutique by design. Rather than hand you a directory to sort through, we match your child to one specialist chosen for their subject and key stage. We stand behind the choice.
Mentors who have sat the same exams
Your child learns from tutors who earned the grades they are aiming for and remember exactly what it took to get there.
Progress you can see
A short written report after every lesson tells you what was covered, what went well, and the single thing to work on next, so your child always knows how to improve.
Specific to History
- Periods and papers matched to your child's specification, since boards vary widely in what they actually examine.
- Source-based and essay questions practised separately, because they reward different skills and are marked differently.
- Support through KS3, GCSE and A-Level, building the source-handling habits each stage assumes are already in place.
Built for parents
You're the one making the decision. Here's what you're getting.
Four things every parent asks about before trusting someone new with their child's learning.
Personalised
A specialist hand-matched to your child's year group, history and the gaps their first lesson finds.
Transparent
You see the price before you pay, and a written report after every lesson.
Flexible
Lessons run online, from home. You approve every lesson before it is booked, and there are no contracts.
Safe
DBS-checked tutors, on-platform messaging kept as a record, and a named Designated Safeguarding Lead.
Trust & safety
Built for a service used by children
This is not an afterthought bolted onto a tutoring marketplace. Safeguarding is designed into the platform itself.
- Every tutor is DBS-checked and completes an onboarding checklist covering identity, references and our safeguarding and conduct policies before they teach a single lesson.
- Messages and shared files stay on the platform, forming a record our Designated Safeguarding Lead can review. Tutors do not move contact off-platform.
- Our Designated Safeguarding Lead reviews concerns and, where needed, refers them to the right external service.
- Parents and guardians hold the account. A child joins a lesson through a one-time link, not an adult-style account of their own.
Read the full policies
Our safeguarding and trust & safety pages set out the checks, the reporting routes and how we handle a concern, in full.

Good to know
Questions parents ask about History tutoring
If yours is not here, ask us on our contact page and we will answer it directly.
Does it matter which periods my child is studying?
Yes. History specifications vary hugely between boards and even between schools, so we match a tutor who already knows your child's specific papers.
My child knows the facts but loses marks on essays. Can you help with that?
That is one of the most common gaps we see. A tutor works specifically on structure, argument and how to use evidence, so knowledge your child already has finally shows up in the mark.
Is it worth starting before Year 10?
Yes. KS3 history builds the source-analysis and essay habits that GCSE assumes are already there, so starting earlier means less to fix under exam pressure.
Do you tutor A-Level history as well as GCSE?
Yes. We match a specialist to your child's exam board and the specific units their A-Level course covers, including the coursework element where it applies.
