Frequently asked questions

Who are the IGCSE History Tutors at TutorsPlus?

For us, a tutor is a reliable partner in your educational journey. It is someone who is able to make even the most difficult topic accessible. Exactly these tutors constitute our team at TutorsPlus. They believe that one size doesn’t fit all. Therefore, they always try to understand your current knowledge of History and what you wish to achieve, and only then create a tutoring plan. Along with this, they take your learning style into account and adapt their teaching methods. This way, you can progress much faster.  

Every single IGCSE History tutor at TutorsPlus is a seasonal educator with at least a Bachelor’s degree. Additionally, they have vast experience in international schools, not only as certified teachers but also as IGCSE examiners. In other words, they know the requirements for high-quality exam answers and are ready to share these insights with you.   

To become a part of TutorsPlus, each candidate goes through a rigorous selection process. It includes background verification, reference checks, as well as face-to-face interviews. All of this guarantees that you’ll be working with some of the best educators available. 

Why should I hire an IGCSE History tutor at TutorsPlus?

To master the subject, you need to learn a lot of dates, as well as the prerequisites and consequences of historical events. That’s why IGCSE History isn’t exactly a walk in the park. However, with a professional tutor, you can walk through these challenging topics at your own pace and get support along the way. In particular, they can help you see the connections between historical events and even spark your curiosity to investigate them at a deeper level.  

What really sets our tutors apart is their genuine passion for history. Complex historical concepts become clearer and more engaging when explained by someone who truly cares about the material.  

Tutoring sessions with IGCSE History tutors are always personalised. They take the time to understand your current level, strengths, and the areas you find challenging. Then, they craft a tailored study plan that suits your learning style and goals. This way, you can make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. 

Hiring a private IGCSE History tutor from TutorsPlus is an excellent idea to prepare for your final examination. Because many of our tutors are directly involved in the assessment process, they know the criteria for high-grade work. As a result, they are able to deliver effective revision strategies and exam techniques to maximise your score.  

How can an IGCSE History tutor help me prepare for my exam?

Many IGCSE History tutors at TutorsPlus are real-life examiners. Their experience with the assessment process gives them unique insights into how history questions are marked. Therefore, they can support you throughout your revision, from explaining the exam format to mastering effective answer techniques.  

Our exam preparation journey typically starts with the assessment of your current knowledge and finding knowledge gaps to fill. If there are topics you don’t quite understand, they’ll break them down into smaller pieces and explain everything in clear, simple terms.  

At the same time, we incorporate constant practice into our sessions. Using past papers as an example, your tutor can show you how to structure your answers for maximum impact. They can also explain command terms, give time management tips, and specify common mistakes students make. After each session with past papers, they provide thorough feedback, which also serves as an action plan on how to improve your performance. 

Do your tutors know the requirements of various exam boards?

Absolutely! Our IGCSE History tutors have experience with all major IGCSE examination boards, especially Cambridge International and Edexcel. Moreover, some of our tutors even serve as examiners for these boards.  

Because they’ve seen and graded hundreds of exam papers, they understand what distinguishes excellent answers from average ones. Therefore, they can show you exactly how to approach different question types for maximum marks. At the same time, they can explain other nuances (such as assessment format, time, constraints, marking schemes, etc.) to give you confidence on the exam day.  

How do online tutoring sessions work?

Online tutoring with TutorsPlus helps you learn from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you may be. Once you’ve booked sessions with one of our IGCSE History tutors, you will receive access to our intuitive digital platform and its integrated tools. 

Some of the main features you can benefit from are an interactive whiteboard, document- and screen-sharing, instant messaging, and video chat. They make it possible to seamlessly interact with your tutor in real time – discuss topics, exchange links and study materials, make notes, receive specific instructions and feedback, and much more. All the files submitted through our platform remain accessible for later review, and you can even record your sessions.  

At TutorsPlus, we ensure that our online IGCSE History tutoring is as beneficial as in-person lessons. No matter whether on- or offline, our tutors always focus on your learning goals and develop personalised strategies to meet them effectively. The result is focused, engaging learning that builds both your knowledge and confidence in IGCSE History.  

Last but not least, learning IGCSE History online with TutorsPlus is a flexible experience. You can schedule lessons at times that suit your routine and choose your own study pace.   

Do you provide in-person tutoring sessions?

If you prefer face-to-face lessons, TutorsPlus offers such an opportunity for our students living in Switzerland. These are available in cities such as Geneva, Lausanne, Zug, and Zurich. 

In-person sessions create a direct learning environment where your tutor can observe your response to different teaching approaches and adjust their methods on the spot. These sessions can take place in any study location that suits you. 

Both formats, online and in-person, deliver a top-notch quality of tutoring. If you wish, you can even combine them, using in-person sessions when possible and switching to online tutoring during busy periods or when travelling. 

How do I book an IGCSE History session with TutorsPlus?

It’s very easy – all you have to do is contact us at +41 22 731 8148 or via email at . Before we can arrange one of our IGCSE History tutors, we would like to discuss what has led you to our service: do you wish to improve your knowledge across various IGCSE History topics, ensure a good exam performance, or want to hone your skills, such as essay writing or source material analysis? When we know what you want to achieve, we can cater to your needs better. 

Each tutor that we suggest is a certified teacher with experience in international schools. However, we understand that a good match isn’t only about expertise, it is also about a personal connection. If you are not sure that our tutor is right for you, we are happy to offer a trial lesson. It lets you see for yourself how it goes before committing to regular tutoring.  

As soon as you are ready to make the next step, we will work on creating a tutoring schedule that reflects the time, frequency, and approximate content of your lessons. We are always open to any adjustments to ensure this plan works perfectly for your needs and progress.
