Online Tutoring — History

Think Like a Historian, Write Like an Examiner

We train source work (primary/secondary), context, causation, continuity/change, and evaluation. Sessions mirror exam tasks so the method becomes automatic.

A Clear Source Routine

Provenance → Content → Context → Purpose/Value/Limits. You learn to quote precisely, infer cautiously, and link evidence to argument.

From Notes to Argument

We turn bullet points into paragraphs (topic sentence → explanation → evidence → link). You build an essay plan that weighs factors and answers the question directly.

Comparisons That Add Insight

Where useful, we connect German topics with international cases to test depth and transfer. Timelines and mini-maps keep chronology and geography in view.

Retention between sessions

Create a “case card” per topic: key actors, 3 turning points, 3 quotes or stats, 1 debate. Review takes under five minutes.

Pro tip

End every essay with a one-line judgement that names the strongest factor and the condition under which your view could change.
