WHAT WE COVER

Skills First, Then Content

History is examined on what you can do with evidence, not only on what you can recall.

🔍

Source-Based Questions

Reading a source for what it actually says, explaining usefulness and limitations, and comparing sources that disagree.

✍

Extended Writing

Building a line of argument, using evidence to support it, and structuring an essay that answers the question asked.

🌐

The Cold War

Origins and extension of the Cold War, and the shifts that followed its end.

🌎

Independent Africa

Case studies in African independence and the challenges that followed.

✊

Civil Resistance in South Africa

Protest and resistance from the 1950s through the 1980s, and the turn towards negotiation.

🏛

Democracy and Coming to Terms With the Past

The transition to democracy and the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

WHO IS THIS FOR

The Right History Tutoring Support for Every Learner

Wherever your child is starting from, there is a tutor who has taught that learner before.

📚

The Memoriser

Knows the content cold and still loses marks, because the question asked for analysis rather than recall. We teach how to turn knowledge into an argument.

👀

The Source Skimmer

Reads the source too fast and answers what they expected it to say. We slow that down and build a repeatable method for every source type, cartoons and photographs included.

🏅

The Essay Rambler

Writes plenty and scores in the middle. We work on structure, a clear line of argument, and finishing within the time available.

FAQ

Questions Parents Ask

No, and that misunderstanding is the single biggest cause of disappointing marks. A large share of the paper asks learners to work with sources and to build an argument. Content matters, but it is the raw material, not the answer.

With a method, applied every time: read the question first, identify what the verb demands, read the source for evidence rather than for general meaning, and quote or reference precisely. It is a skill that improves quickly once it is practised deliberately.

A clear line of argument stated early, paragraphs that each do one job and link back to the question, specific evidence rather than general description, and a conclusion that actually concludes. We draft, mark and redraft until that shape is automatic.

Yes. History sits inside Social Sciences in Grades 7 to 9, and the source and writing skills built there carry directly into Grade 10.

Yes. The two differ in emphasis and in how much independent interpretation is expected, so your tutor works to the curriculum your child is writing.
