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.

- All tutors hold a university degree; 98% hold postgraduate qualifications and 45% hold doctorates (PhD)
- Minimum two years' teaching or tutoring experience; the average tutor has over 10 years' experience
- All tutors undergo identity verification and are fully DBS check and KYC checks
- Many tutors are current or former university lecturers, examiners, or practitioners in History, History and Politics, or related humanities disciplines
- Each history tutor is vetted against the student's needs - whether that is undergraduate module support, dissertation supervision, or university admissions and interview prep

How much progress can an undergraduate history student expect with The Profs?
Progress depends on starting point and commitment, but our internal data shows clear, predictable gains when students follow a structured plan:
- Short-term gains (improved essay technique, better referencing and clearer argument) are common after a few sessions
- Typical sustained improvements come from term-length engagement - many undergraduates report higher marks across modules after 20+ hours
- Our internal benchmarks indicate targeted tuition (for example, 21 hours of tuition) can shift a student from a 2:1 to a First in many cases (First = first-class in the British undergraduate degree classification)
- Tutors focus on addressing specific areas for improvement: assessment technique, time management for exams, and independent research skills
