Feedback on our History tutors
"Our tutor Josh has been absolutely brilliant. He is always very patient and kind. He has provided excellent lessons and the children have learned a lot. My son got an A* and an A in his History papers, without a doubt he would not have achieved this without Josh’s help"
Mother of 16+ student"Josh has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He has covered an enormous amount of work in a relatively short time and given our son some wonderful study skills in History. His enthusiasm for lessons has been enjoyed immensely. It is his ability to bring the subject to life for a young boy and inspire him that is most appreciated"

Preparing for the Oxford History Aptitude Test (HAT)
All candidates for Oxford degree courses involving History must sit the History Aptitude Test (HAT). Students can often feel a little uneasy about the test at first, because its format has changed over time, and it is very different from A-level exams. To help make the test a less daunting prospect, I have created an introductory guide to what it entails and how best to prepare.
History Admissions Assessment Cambridge - Updated 2020
And it had all seemed so simple. For the past several years, from 2016 to 2019, Cambridge had joined Oxford in setting all the candidates who applied to the university to read history, or joint honours degrees involving history, a written assessment that was taken at the same time as the Oxford HAT – about a month before the interview stage. This exam, known as the History Admissions Assessment (HAA), consisted of two one-hour papers.

The tutors we work with help to improve exam performance by making use of past History papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of History to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
GCSE History tutors
GCSE History students will need a solid grounding in a range of different historical eras and regions of the world. The History tutors we work with will help your child to use contemporary sources effectively, develop their understanding of historical concepts, and maximise their ability to answer History questions. We aim to build up your child’s confidence, speed, and accuracy under pressure in History, equipping them to excel at GCSE level.
IGCSE History tutors
Our History tutors can help your child across all areas of the IGCSE History curriculum, including in preparation for coursework. The IGCSE provides an excellent foundation for further study in History, and the tutors we represent will help your child take full advantage of this, reinforcing the key concepts and preparing them to perform well under examination conditions.
International Baccalaureate (IB) History tutors
IB History is a challenging qualification, covering a range of compulsory and optional components across World History. Our History tutors will help your child to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, develop their critical thinking skills and their Historical imagination, solve problems, and communicate their knowledge successfully in an exam context.
A Level History tutors
A Level History is a well-respected subject suitable for many future career paths, and students have to master a wide range of complex topics to succeed. Our History tutors are able to focus in on those areas where your child needs additional support, help them demonstrate their knowledge effectively under time pressure, and ultimately prepare them to perform strongly in these key exams.
