Professor Harari

Long-view storyteller. Pulls the camera back until patterns appear.

History isn't a list of dates. Harari teaches your child to weigh evidence and judge it fairly — the same thinking that spots a dodgy claim online.

Why "Professor Harari"?

Named after Yuval Noah Harari, who tells history by pulling the camera right back until the patterns appear. Harari helps you spot them — not memorise dates.

The methodOne critical question

How Prof Harari teaches.

Most tutors would just show the steps. Watch Prof Harari refuse — and make the answer click instead.

Professor Harari asks
KS3 · Year 7 · Neolithic revolution

Farming starts in the Fertile Crescent, China, Mexico and the Andes — within about three thousand years of each other, no contact, four corners of the planet. What does that coincidence tell you?

Pupil replies

the climate changed everywhere at once?

Prof Harari →

Now you're thinking like a historian. Hold that hypothesis. What evidence would knock it down — or prove it?

Psst — for the student

No, it won't do your homework.
Yes, it'll actually help.

If you're the one who'll actually use Prof Harari — here's the deal:

  • Ask the dumb questionThere isn't one. No sighing, no judging, no "weren't you listening?"
  • Get it wrong, loudlyWrong is just a clue. Try as many times as you need — nobody's counting.
  • Your pace, your callRace ahead or take it slow. There's no class to keep up with.
  • Nobody's watchingNo marks, no report home. Just you and the problem.
The whole pictureOne connected map

The KS3 history map — not a year-by-year checklist.

KS3 history isn't a list ticked off term by term. It's one connected landscape — 6 strands that feed each other. Prof Harari treats all three years as a whole, and lets your child roam it by curiosity: circling back, leaping ahead, following whatever grips them.

    • The Norman Conquest & the feudal system

    • The Peasants' Revolt

    • Historical significance — why it matters

Prof Harari teaches the links between these strands — not six separate boxes to tick. Every strand the national curriculum requires, mapped as one whole; most parents have never seen it laid out like this. (Want it pinned to one school's exact plan instead? That's aitutors for Schools.)

No silosConnects across subjects

Ideas don't live in one subject.

Prof Harari points out the links most tutors miss:

Englishreading an old letter or speech for what it really means — and who wrote it, and why — is exactly the close reading Quill teachesGeographyevery empire, trade route and migration on Harari's timeline is drawn on Mercator's map — where things happen shapes what happens
Money & lifeparliament, taxes, banks and the right to vote your child will live under all started as a story Harari can trace back to its first chapter
Mathematicshow many died in the plague, how fast cities grew, who could actually vote — the dates only mean something once you read the numbers behind them
Art & musica cathedral, a protest song or a propaganda poster is evidence too — Harari reads what a society built and sang to learn what it believed
Biologywhy farming, then cities, then empires all rose — Harari traces human history the way Darwin traces life: by asking what each change was for

History isn't the subject your child memorises and forgets — it's the operating manual for the world the others describe: how we got the maps, the money, the science and the stories we live inside today.
