We have tutors on board who have taught all ages, at all levels, and to all abilities. That means that they will connect with you as an individual, with your particular learning style and needs.

They are passionate about communicating their interest in the past.
History Tutoring
History tutoring at Wentworth Education takes many forms. You tell us your needs; we come up with a plan of action to meet those needs. If you struggle at essay-writing, for example, we focus on strategies to help you change a liability into an academic strength. We meet you, in short, where you are. Our aim is to bring you where you want to be and indeed, beyond.
We're In The Trenches With You
Don’t see the point of studying history but you need to, simply to meet requirements? Do see the point but don’t get the finer points? Like the stories but hate the sources? Love the subject but can’t write essays? Like your course but can’t understand why your work comes back scribbled over in red, and you can’t seem to get the results you want? Whatever your interest or need, we take this as our starting point. We go into the trenches together. We seek to enable you to meet any and all challenges.
History Exam Preparation
We know that exams can be stressful times. We know that history students often have difficulty in putting what they know onto paper. So many facts, so little time. We know that it’s hard to distinguish what is relevant from what is not. We know that it’s often easier to tell the story and forget the analysis. We know that under pressure, with the best will in the world, students don’t always answer questions as they should.
Our goal is to transform the exam experience for you. Yes, it is about better results; but it is also equally about giving you excellent transferable skills – like concentration under pressure, time management, revision note-taking, planning.
For revision, we recommend focused and intense sessions held regularly. We identify the types of questions involved and the particular challenges a student faces. We review homework, practice tests and mock exams to identify issues. And then begins the task of resolving difficulties, of making a student feel confident of their own knowledge and skills going into an exam. We believe that you’ll go into an exam, marching not quivering. History doesn’t have to repeat itself.

Helena Wells – Private Tutor in London
Prior to studying a degree in Anthropology at Cambridge (BA Hons 2:1), I went to Oakham School where I studied an eclectic mix of A-levels (History, Geography, Biology and Fine Art), and achieved top grades in all four subjects. This range of subjects, and the degree that followed, reflect my interest in people and why we behave as we do. Indeed I am continuing to pursue this interest, and am currently studying an MSc in Psychology at the University of Surrey.
Before studying at Surrey, I worked in the advertising industry (J Walter Thompson) and for a behavioural consultancy as a Project Manager. Whilst on the graduate scheme at J Walter Thompson, I won the Chrissie Barker award for Top Graduate in my year, achieved a Distinction in my IPA (Institute for Practitioners of Advertising) Foundation Award, and completed the IPA Effectiveness, and Legislation and Regulation awards. I also spent a month working and travelling in Japan, which was utterly fascinating.
Throughout my professional career I built a reputation as someone people turned to for support and I enjoyed helping develop new starters. I also have a wealth of insight when it comes to CV’s, personal statements and interview techniques – all of which are front of mind for me having just applied to university again myself. ...

Cecilia March – Private Tutor in North London
I specialise in US exam preparation, reading comprehension, Art History, English (writing and literature), History, and French language. I have benefitted from one-on-one tutoring throughout my education in order to prepare for standardized tests (ISEE/SSAT, SAT/ACT, GRE), which helped me build confidence and was a huge factor in my success. Having grown up in Manhattan and having attended boarding school and university in the US, I am intimately acquainted with the American educational system and the testing and admissions processes for US high schools and universities. Because of my background, I am well equipped to provide admission advice and counselling.
In New York, I attended a private, all-girls school, Convent of the Sacred Heart, before continuing my education at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut. At Choate, I took many Advanced Placement and honors courses. I achieved a 35 (of 36) on my ACT and 5's on my Art History, French, English Literature, and European History AP exams. I attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee where I double-majored in Art History and French. Before beginning my graduate studies in September 2019, in order to improve my German, I attended the Middlebury College Intensive Summer Language Program in Middlebury, Vermont, an 8 week, immersive program where all classes and socialising are conducted in German. I moved to London in 2019 to attend the master's programme in the History of Art at the Courtauld Institute (M.A. distinction, 2020; course: German Modernism: Politics, Utopia, and Times of Turmoil).
