I teach history, philosophy, political science and test prep, generally in the form of a socratic, question-based, student-led dialogue. I have about a year's worth of experience tutoring and enjoy working with students who are motivated to learn the material we'll cover, but who might be unsure how to start, or may need a boost to reach their full potential.
Miles
Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects
I'm incredibly passionate about math and CS and I want to help others dive into these topics. Math and CS did not come naturally to me and so I know what it's like to struggle through these subjects and what insights help in deeply understanding them. Depending on how curious a student is I'll help peel back the layers to show just how computers (or math) really work.
Jasmin
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +28 Subjects
I believe all students can achieve their full potential when provided with the appropriate modifications, scaffolds or resources necessary. My job as a teacher is to help all students feel successful. I hope that as a teacher I can encourage respect for learning and intellectual achievement by stimulating individual curiosity about the world. I have been a classroom teacher for 5 years and I believe that tutoring will be a great opportunity for me to create more personal relationships in order to help students reach their potential by teaching to the student's strengths and minimizing their weaknesses. As a classroom teacher of 25 or more students you don't always get the opportunity to work with students on a one to one basis. I have taught students in 1st to 12th grade and at the college level. I am knowledgeable of strategies that work well for struggling readers and English Language Learners. I am very organized and more than willing to put in the time and effort to help every student succeed.

ACT Writing Tutor • +10 Subjects
Over the years I have discovered a passion for teaching. Sharing knowledge with others, supporting them to overcome any challenge, and helping them achieve their academic goals has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me.As a tutor, I am committed to empowering my students and supporting their academic and personal growth. I believe the foundation to successful tutoring to be a mutually trusting and accommodating relationship; thus, I am a firm believer of individualized lesson plans that play to the unique strengths and weaknesses of each student.With a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Emory University, I have a strong understanding of both fundamental and advanced topics in biology - from introductory biology to microbiology, evolutionary biology, and more. Furthermore, I am also well-versed in chemistry - from general chemistry, to organic chemistry and biochemistry.Having scored a 517 (94th percentile) on the MCAT and an ACT composite score of 35, I understand how challenging the MCAT & ACT are, but more importantly, I recognize the strong test-taking strategies, healthy studying methods, and support system that form the foundation for effective exam preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Asian History spans diverse regions, time periods, and civilizations—from ancient China and India to modern Japan and Southeast Asia—which can feel overwhelming without a clear framework. Students often struggle with:
- Keeping track of multiple dynasties and their characteristics across different countries
- Understanding how geography and trade routes shaped cultural exchange and political development
- Connecting Asian historical events to world history and avoiding Eurocentric perspectives
- Analyzing primary sources and historical documents that require cultural context to interpret correctly
Personalized tutoring helps by breaking these complex topics into manageable concepts and building connections between events, rather than treating them as isolated facts to memorize.
In a classroom, teachers must move through content at a pace that works for 20-30 students with varying background knowledge. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor can slow down on confusing concepts like feudalism in Japan or the Mongol Empire's expansion, use visual timelines and maps tailored to your learning style, and skip material you've already mastered. Tutors can also connect Asian History topics directly to upcoming exams or essays, focus on essay writing skills and document analysis specific to your curriculum, and adjust teaching methods based on what works best for you—whether that's discussion, primary source analysis, or interactive activities.
Exceptional Asian History tutors combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to make complex topics accessible. They understand major civilizations, dynasties, and turning points—from the Silk Road's economic impact to decolonization movements—and can explain how these events connect to each other and to broader world history. Beyond content expertise, great tutors are skilled at identifying gaps in understanding, explaining difficult concepts multiple ways, asking questions that develop critical thinking, and helping students build essay-writing skills and test-taking strategies. They also bring enthusiasm for the subject, which makes learning engaging rather than rote memorization.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand how Asian History is taught across different grade levels and curricula. Whether you're studying ancient civilizations in middle school, exploring imperialism and nationalism in high school AP or IB courses, or examining specific regions in depth, tutors can align instruction to match your course requirements and pacing. You can share your syllabus, textbook, and upcoming assignments so the tutor focuses on exactly what your class covers. This targeted approach means you're not learning random content—you're building skills and knowledge directly tied to your exams and assignments.
With consistent personalized instruction, students typically see measurable improvements within 4-6 weeks, including stronger performance on essays and document analysis assignments, better retention of key events and concepts, improved test scores on unit exams and standardized assessments, and increased confidence discussing complex topics in class. Many students also develop stronger critical thinking skills—the ability to evaluate multiple perspectives on historical events, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and make connections across time periods. The specific timeline depends on your starting point and tutoring frequency, but most students notice they're spending less time memorizing and more time actually understanding why events matter.
Yes. Tutors work with students on all aspects of AP and IB History exams, including analyzing primary and secondary sources under timed conditions, writing strong essays that address prompt requirements and include specific evidence, understanding how to periodize history and make comparisons across regions and time periods, and mastering the vocabulary and concepts tested. They can also help you develop a study strategy for the breadth of material covered, practice with released exams and past prompts, and receive targeted feedback on essays before the actual exam. This focused preparation typically leads to stronger performance on the exam itself.
Getting started is straightforward. You'll tell Varsity Tutors about your current grade level, which Asian History topics you need help with, and your goals—whether that's improving test scores, getting ahead on upcoming units, or preparing for an exam. Varsity Tutors will match you with a tutor whose expertise and teaching style fit your needs. After your first session, you can discuss what's working and adjust as needed. Most students benefit from weekly sessions, though tutors can also work with you on a flexible schedule depending on your priorities.
