Lesson Flow
What Happens In A One-to-One IGCSE History Lesson?
Our tutors build the two skills that decide the grade — analysing sources for utility and reliability, and structuring balanced, well-evidenced essays. Every topic is taught alongside real past-paper technique.
Step 1
Review recent History evidence
Start with classwork, a mock or a past-paper answer from the exact Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel course.
Step 2
Identify where marks were lost
Separate knowledge gaps from question interpretation, source work, evidence, essay structure and timing.
Step 3
Clarify the missing skill
Rebuild the historical knowledge, source interpretation or argument structure needed for the next response.
Step 4
Apply it to the exam board
Use a course-specific question matched to the syllabus, topic route and examination year.
Step 5
Improve the written response
Strengthen claims, relevant evidence, explanation, comparison, evaluation and supported judgement.
Step 6
Set the next priority
Record the next topic or exam skill so each lesson has a clear purpose.
What we cover
A Syllabus Map Students Can Actually Follow.
Break the specification into manageable topics, then build confidence from the first concept to exam-ready application.
01
The Origins of the First World War
Start hereAlliances, the arms race, the Balkans, and the July Crisis of 1914. A core option often examined through causation and 'how far' essay questions.
02
Peacemaking, 1919–23
The aims of the Big Three, the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, and reactions to the settlement — a frequent source-paper focus on differing perspectives.
03
The League of Nations & International Relations
The successes and failures of the League in the 1920s and 1930s, collective security, and the road to war — ideal for evaluating causation and significance.
04
Hitler's Germany, 1929–39
The rise of the Nazis, the creation of a dictatorship, Nazi control and propaganda, and life in the Third Reich. A popular Depth Study rich in source material.
05
Russia & the Soviet Union, 1905–41
The fall of the Tsar, the Bolshevik Revolution, Lenin, and Stalin's economic and political policies — a Depth Study testing change and continuity.
06
The USA, 1919–41
The Roaring Twenties, the Wall Street Crash, the Great Depression, and Roosevelt's New Deal — a Depth Study examined through both essays and interpretations.
07
The Cold War & the Superpowers
The origins of the Cold War, the Berlin Blockade, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and détente. Core Content requiring precise chronology and causation analysis.
08
Source Analysis & Coursework
Evaluating cartoons, photographs, and written sources for purpose, reliability, and utility, plus the historical investigation coursework where offered.

Common Blockers
Where Students Struggle And How We Fix It.
1Source utility and reliability questions+
We teach students to assess sources using content, origin, and purpose together — never in isolation. Using real past-paper cartoons and extracts, students learn to reach a supported judgement rather than simply describing what a source shows.
2Structuring 'how far do you agree' essays+
The highest-mark questions demand a balanced, two-sided argument with a clear judgement. We give students a reliable essay framework — argument, counter-argument, weighing, and conclusion — so no marks are lost to poor structure or one-sided answers.
3Remembering precise dates and detail+
History is marked on specific, accurate knowledge. We build memory using timelines, causation maps, and spaced recall so students can deploy exact figures, treaty terms, and events under exam pressure instead of vague generalisations.

Quick questions
FAQs About IGCSE History
Helpful answers about exam boards, syllabus topics, tutor matching and lesson support.
Which topics does IGCSE History cover?
Most students take the Cambridge 0470 20th-century Core Content — the causes of the two World Wars, the League of Nations, and the Cold War — alongside one Depth Study such as Germany 1918–45, Russia, or the USA. We tailor tuition to your school's exact option choices.
How is the source-based paper marked?
Paper 2 tests source-handling skills: comprehension, cross-referencing, evaluating utility and reliability, and reaching a supported judgement on the key question. We teach students to weigh content against a source's origin and purpose, which is where the top marks are won.
What is the difference between Cambridge 0470 and Edexcel 4HI1?
Both are respected international IGCSE History qualifications. Cambridge 0470 pairs a Core Content paper with a Depth Study and a source paper, and offers coursework. Edexcel 4HI1 uses two papers built around Depth Studies, Historical Investigations, and Breadth Studies. Our tutors cover both and match your child's board precisely.
How do you help with essay writing?
We use a consistent framework for extended-answer and 'how far do you agree' questions: a clear argument, a developed counter-argument, weighing of the evidence, and a justified conclusion. Students practise with real past-paper questions and receive mark-scheme-level feedback on structure and analysis.
Is IGCSE History good preparation for A-Level or IB?
Yes. The source-evaluation and essay skills built at IGCSE are exactly those demanded at A-Level and IB History. Students who achieve Grade 7+ are well prepared to progress to A-Level History or IB History HL, and many of our tutors teach right across those levels.
