EPQ History tutors

5 UK tutors who teach History at EPQ. £35–£75/hr · median £60

History at GCSE and A-level is content-heavy and source-heavy in roughly equal measure: students learn periods (medicine through time, Tudors, Cold War, Nazi Germany, Civil Rights and many others, depending on board) and the analytical skills to handle sources, interpretations and extended essay writing. Tutoring most often unsticks the writing: how to structure a 16- or 25-mark essay, how to use sources without narrating them, how to evaluate historians' interpretations at A-level. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas) prescribe different topics. Match the tutor to the specific paper, not just to History as a subject.

The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
