Choosing a History tutor is easier when you know what support is needed, which course the student follows and how progress will be reviewed.
Not sure what History support to ask about?
Six questions can help you organise an enquiry without sharing personal information.
Start with the actual difficulty
Is your child missing factual knowledge, struggling to interpret questions or finding it hard to write a supported argument? Ask the student to show a recent marked answer. Look for the teacher’s feedback before assuming more revision is the solution.
Match the course before booking
GCSE, International GCSE, A-Level and IB are not interchangeable. Confirm the awarding body, specification, examined options and assessment format. A tutor’s general subject expertise is valuable, but course-specific coverage should be discussed rather than assumed.
Check the practical fit
Ask how the tutor reviews existing work, explains feedback, plans independent tasks, communicates progress and handles safeguarding. For online lessons, check that the format suits your child. Clarify fees and cancellation terms directly before booking.
A sensible first step
Gather one marked assessment, the course information and two goals for the next month. Use the six-question finder to organise the conversation with a prospective tutor.
