About Course

Sources and interpretations questions make up a significant part of every GCSE History course. With Remi the revision owl, learn the difference between a source and an interpretation, how to analyse provenance, how to judge how useful a source is, and how to explain why historians’ interpretations differ – with worked examples and model paragraphs that work across exam boards.

Tutwoo Kids is independent and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Department for Education, Ofqual or any exam board. This course supports learning alongside school; it is not a qualification and certificates are not GCSE results. GCSEs in England are graded 9 to 1, and specifications differ between exam boards, so always check your own board’s specification and follow your teacher’s advice.
