Why GCSE History matters
Sources, essays and a lot of content — the skills behind the grade
GCSE History combines a demanding amount of content with a specific set of exam skills: analysing sources and interpretations, explaining causation and change, and writing structured, evidenced essays to time. The exact topics — Medicine Through Time, Nazi Germany, Elizabethan England and others — vary by school and board, but the skills the examiners reward are consistent.
Students most often struggle with the volume to remember and with shaping their knowledge to what each question type actually wants. A specialist tutor teaches a reliable method for the source and essay questions, and turns "knowing the topic" into marks.
Every history tutor on Teachers Delivered is a qualified teacher who marks to the current mark schemes.

GCSE History Tutors: common questions
Which topics will my child study?
It varies by school and board — common ones are Medicine Through Time, Nazi Germany, and Elizabethan England. Tell us the topics and we'll match a tutor who knows them; the skills carry across whichever you're studying.
My child knows the content but loses marks — why?
Usually exam technique — not shaping the knowledge to the source or essay question in front of them. That's the single most improvable thing a tutor works on.
Which exam boards do your tutors cover?
AQA, Edexcel (Pearson), OCR (A and B) and WJEC/Eduqas — matched to your child's topics and board.
How many sessions will my child need?
A weekly hour through Year 11 works well, with more before mocks and the summer exams.
How much does a tutor cost?
A flat price per hour-long lesson (platform minimum £40), shown on each profile. Pay securely by card.
Are your tutors qualified teachers?
Yes — qualified, experienced history teachers with a verified Enhanced DBS.
