Online GCSE History Tutor in London
One-to-one help with sources, interpretations and essay questions, £30 per lesson
A lot of GCSE History students know their Weimar Germany or their Elizabethan England inside out and still come home with a grade that does not reflect it. Our online GCSE History tutor works one to one with students in London and across the UK to close that gap.
Lessons focus on what the exam actually rewards: reading a source critically, weighing up an interpretation, explaining why something happened and reaching a judgement that holds up. The content still matters, so the tutor helps organise it, but technique is usually where the marks are hiding.
Everything happens over video from home, at times that fit around school. The first class is free, so you can see how a lesson works before committing to anything.

What does online GCSE History tutoring include?
Online GCSE History tutoring with us covers the content of your child's chosen units, the source and interpretation skills the papers test, and the structure of longer essay answers. Every lesson is one to one, built around the student's exam board and weakest areas.
Source analysis
Students learn to read provenance, content and context together, so a usefulness answer goes beyond "it is biased" and explains what the source can and cannot tell a historian.
Interpretations
The tutor shows how two historians can look at the same evidence and disagree, and how to test each view against your own knowledge rather than simply describing it.
Essay structure
Longer questions carry the biggest marks on each paper. Lessons practise planning a balanced argument, linking factors and finishing with a judgement that answers the question set.
Content you can recall
Four or five units means a lot of dates, people and events. We build timelines and summary sheets with the student so knowledge is ready to use under timed conditions.
Historic environment
Most boards include a site study. The tutor helps students connect the site to its wider period, which is the step many answers miss.
Past paper practice
Timed questions are marked live against the board's mark scheme, so students see exactly where marks were gained and lost instead of waiting for feedback.
Which GCSE History exam boards do we prepare students for?
We prepare students for every major GCSE History specification taught in England and Wales, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR A, OCR B, WJEC and Eduqas. Schools choose different units within each one, so lessons follow your child's actual options.
| Exam board | Code | How it is assessed | What the tutor focuses on |
|---|---|---|---|
| AQA | 8145 | Two papers of 2 hours, each worth 50%: Understanding the Modern World and Shaping the Nation | Interpretation questions, the period study narrative and the thematic study essay |
| Pearson Edexcel | 1HI0 | Three papers worth 30%, 40% and 30%, covering a thematic study with historic environment, a period and British depth study, and a modern depth study | Source inference, the usefulness question and the extended judgement essays |
| OCR B (Schools History Project) | J411 | Three papers: British history, History Around Us (site study) and World history | Site study planning, causation essays and the world depth study |
| OCR A | J410 | Explaining the Modern World route, with British, period and depth studies | Knowledge recall and analytical writing across the chosen studies |
| WJEC and Eduqas | Varies | Unit-based papers set by each board | Source evaluation and extended answers in the board's own format |
Who is our GCSE History tutoring suitable for?
Our GCSE History tutoring suits Year 10 students building good habits, Year 11 students preparing for mocks and summer exams, and students resitting the subject. It also helps confident students who are stuck on a grade 6 or 7 and want the top bands.
Year 10 students
Starting early means each unit is learned properly the first time, with notes and question practice that make Year 11 revision lighter.
Year 11 students
Lessons concentrate on mock feedback and the question types costing the most marks, with timed practice as the summer papers get closer.
Resit students
We look at the previous result and paper by paper performance, then focus on the specific skills that held the grade back.
Students aiming for grade 8 or 9
Top-band answers need sustained judgement and precise evidence. The tutor pushes students to argue rather than list, which is the difference examiners reward.
How do online GCSE History lessons work?
Online GCSE History lessons run live over video, with the tutor and student sharing a screen and a digital whiteboard. You enquire, we match a History tutor to the exam board, the student attends a free class, and regular lessons follow if it feels right.
Send an enquiry
Use the booking form or WhatsApp to tell us the year group, exam board and the units or question types causing trouble.
We review the details
We may ask a few follow-up questions about recent mock results, revision habits and target grade.
Attend the free class
The tutor meets the student online to discuss where marks are being lost and starts working on one area. Parents can sit in if they wish.
Decide on regular lessons
After the free class we talk through whether ongoing lessons suit your child, with times agreed around school.
Lessons and practice
Each lesson combines explanation, live annotation of sources and timed questions, with the focus shifting as mocks and exams approach.

Frequently asked questions about GCSE History tutoring
How much does a GCSE History tutor cost?
Our GCSE History tutoring costs £30 per lesson. The first session is a free one-to-one class with no obligation to continue, and we confirm lesson length and available times when you enquire.
Which GCSE History exam boards do you support?
We prepare students for AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR (both History A and the Schools History Project B), WJEC and Eduqas. Tell us the board and the options your school chose, and lessons follow those units rather than a generic topic list.
My child knows the facts but still gets low marks. Can tutoring help?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons families contact us. Marks in History depend on explaining, analysing and judging, so lessons focus on turning knowledge into structured answers that match what each question rewards.
Is Year 11 too late to start GCSE History tutoring?
No. Many students start in Year 11, often after a mock. With less time, lessons concentrate on the units and question types losing the most marks, so the hours go where they make a difference.
Can you help with source and interpretation questions?
Yes. The tutor shares sources and interpretations on screen, annotates them live with the student and practises the board's question styles, including how to judge usefulness and how convincing an interpretation is.
Can my child resit GCSE History in November?
No. November resits only run for English Language and Maths, so GCSE History is resat in the summer series. Resit students can still start lessons at any point in the year.
Do you have a History tuition centre in London?
No. All lessons take place online over video, so London students study from home without travelling. The same service is open to students anywhere in the UK.
What happens after I enquire?
We review the year group, exam board and weak areas you share, then arrange the free class with a History tutor when one is available. After it, we discuss whether regular lessons are a good fit.
