We Can make the difference
NimaI went from 43% in first year to receiving a masters offer at the LSE! Having almost failed my first year I decided to get tutoring from The Profs in my second year. Thanks to the brilliant quality of the tutors I managed to score a 1st in my second year and receive an offer for the LSE Masters in Management. A big thank you to The Profs.

A Level History Tutors: Frequently Asked Questions
How are The Profs' A-Level History tutors selected and vetted?
The Profs operates one of the most rigorous tutor-selection processes in the UK for A-Level History tutors — only around 3% of applicants are accepted. Every A-Level History tutor meets the following standards before being matched with a pupil, ensuring high-quality tutoring and alignment with A-level syllabuses and exam boards:
- All tutors hold a university degree; 98% hold postgraduate qualifications and 45% hold doctorates
- All tutors have a minimum of two years' teaching experience; the average teaching experience is over 10 years
- All tutors undergo identity verification and have a full DBS check
- Many tutors are current or former secondary school teachers, examiners, or practising historians
- Every A-Level history tutor is vetted specifically against the A-Level specification and the pupil’s exam board (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, etc.)
What experience do The Profs' A-Level history tutors bring to pupils?
A-Level History tuition requires both subject expertise and exam familiarity across major exam boards. The Profs' History tutors combine:
- Deep knowledge of History at A-Level and undergraduate level, frequently including BA, MA or PhD-level study
- Practical experience with exam board marking criteria, essay structure, source analysis and common pitfalls on A-Level exam papers
- A structured teaching approach that builds genuine understanding, critical thinking and essay technique rather than rote learning, adapting to different learning styles
- The ability to tailor lessons to the pupil’s learning style, target grade and timetable — from weekly lessons to intensive exam preparation
Lessons (typically one-to-one) develop independent study skills, stronger historical argumentation, essay-writing and confidence in timed exam conditions.
The Profs reports strong, measurable outcomes for A-Level tuition. Across school-aged students, 92% improve by at least one grade after sustained tutoring and 68% of A-Level students achieve an A* or A. The Profs has maintained a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating since 2016.
* Based on The Profs Client Feedback Survey 2025How much progress can my child make with A-Level History tuition?
Progress depends on the pupil’s starting point and commitment, but The Profs' structured approach to A-Level history tuition delivers consistent gains. Typical focus areas include:
- Diagnosing gaps in knowledge across periods, themes and historiography
- Step-by-step syllabus coverage aligned to the pupil’s exam board (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC/Eduqas)
- Developing exam technique: planning essays, using evidence, source evaluation and time management
- Reducing last-minute cramming through regular lessons and recorded session revision materials
Most pupils see sustainable improvement over a term or academic year rather than short-term gains from ad hoc lessons.
What is The Profs' track record in A-Level history tuition and related subjects?
Alongside History, The Profs tutors support A-Level subjects such as History and Politics, English and History, Geography and Economics. Students consistently report improvements in exam grades, coursework and academic confidence. The Profs also supports Oxbridge and Russell Group admissions, with many pupils receiving offers from Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and Imperial.
What is the process for starting A-Level History tuition?
Getting started is designed to be quick and targeted:
- Complete the contact form specifying A-Level, History and your objectives — or call the team on +44 208 004 7639
- Attend a free consultation with an education consultant to capture exam board, target grade, schedule and budget
- The Profs' smart-match algorithm generates a shortlist; the Client Success Team selects the best-fit History tutor
- There is a half-hour introductory call between pupil and proposed tutor to confirm fit (this is not a free lesson)
- A one-off placement fee of £70 is invoiced only once the match is approved and lessons begin — most pupils start within one to two working days
How are A-Level history lessons delivered?
All A-Level History tuition is delivered online via secure live video. Our online lessons include:
- Live video calls accessible on desktop or mobile
- An interactive shared whiteboard (for example BitPaper) for essay planning, source work and timelines
- Screen sharing for past-paper walkthroughs, annotated notes and model essays
- All sessions are recorded and downloadable so pupils can revise lessons independently
Online tuition provides flexibility around school timetables while preserving rigorous, exam-focused teaching that supports revision and independent learning. In 2024–25, 96% of The Profs' online learners reported that their tutor improved both their confidence and their grades.
What are the hourly rates for A-Level History tuition?
Pricing is transparent and flexible, with no long-term contracts. Typical structure:
- Online A-Level tuition starts from £60 per hour for school-level students
- One-off placement fee: £70 (invoiced only when the right match is confirmed)
- Tutor hourly rates vary by experience, demand and specialist requirements (e.g. Oxbridge admissions support)
- You pay only for hours booked; payments are handled securely through The Profs' platform
Are there discounts or flexible payment options for A-Level History tuition?
Yes. The Profs offers options to reduce the per-hour cost:
- Prepaid lesson packages attract a discount on the standard hourly rate
- Block bookings (term-length commitments) offer further savings
- Group tuition is available for pupils who can share sessions, offering savings compared to individual tuition
- An education consultant can recommend the most cost-effective package based on goals and timeline

A-Level tuition with The Profs is designed to support immediate exam goals and longer-term progression:

Families stay because tutors adapt as goals change, relationships build consistency, and The Profs supports students from GCSE through to postgraduate study and admissions preparation. Outcomes include offers from top UK universities and improved long-term academic trajectories.

Our A-Level History tutors prepare pupils for all major UK awarding bodies, including:
