History at GCSE
GCSE History tuition focuses on a number of key areas. Confidence, depth and accuracy of subject knowledge is a key focus, and one-to-one tuition offers the opportunity to target study and revision time to the areas of a course a student would most benefit from support with. This includes not only chronological understanding and knowledge of key events and developments, but also analysis of the periods studied applying relevant historical concepts including change over time and the causes and consequences of events.
Learning activities are carefully tailored to the requirements of the syllabus a student is following, as well as their individual study priorities, which we establish at the beginning of the tutoring relationship.
Tuition will also address students’ engagement with historical source material, understanding of the historical site they have studied and understanding of how to answer questions about it, and their critical engagement with interpretations of the past, addressing all the assessment objectives of the course in a balanced and personalised way.
Students are also supported in organising self-study and revision outside the core tutoring sessions so they can feel confident fully confident managing the demands of the course and as they prepare for exams. Tuition is always carefully tailored to each students individual needs and learning preferences.
Tuition is offered for all major examination boards including Pearson Edexcel, AQA, OCR and Eduquas at GCSE as well as tuition for all major IGCSE syllabuses.
History GCSE - Individual Tuition
One-to-one tuition allows for individualised support for your child. We start with an initial discussion with you and your child to discuss specific needs and put a personalised scheme of work in place.
This then forms the basis of subsequent tuition sessions, whilst retaining the flexibility to adapt and change individual sessions to meet needs that may arise from your child’s day to day study in school.
Individual tuition prices include:
- Tutor preparation for the lesson
- All resources and materials, provided in appropriate format
- A task for the student to complete after each session to consolidate learning
- Marking of set work
Extra support for your child between sessions is available and can be explored in our initial discussion.
