American history shaped who we are as a society, and high school students dive in deeply enough to develop a true appreciation for it. Unfortunately, some students have a hard time relating what happened centuries ago to their everyday lives. If you or your child could benefit from more engaging instruction, Varsity Tutors can set you up with an experienced high school level American history tutor who can help pursue your academic goals.
Here are some of the concepts you may explore during high school American history tutoring sessions:
- American cultures before getting "discovered" by Europeans
- The impacts of colonization
- The events surrounding the American Revolution
- The causes of the American Civil War
- The reasons for American involvement in World War I
- The long-term economic impacts of the Great Depression
- World War II
- The Cold War period
The sheer volume of information can feel daunting, but your high school American history tutor can break things down so that they are easier to understand. For example, a visual learner may benefit from studying flashcards containing information on all of the important people discussed in class. Alternatively, an auditory learner could benefit from a second lecture on any given topic. High school American history tutoring allows students to learn at their own pace, so you don't need to stop studying a given topic until you are ready to move on.
