Aaron

10th Grade Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am currently attending Austin Community College and planning on transferring to a 4 year university to achieve a bachelors in chemical engineering after spring semester. Math was once a subject I dreaded on taking having this pre-conceptual thought since high school that I was bad at it, I put it off as long as possible in college. After taking some really hard classes like organic chemistry I had learned that if you go into a class thinking your bad at, that attitude will ultimately reflect on your grade. So there I was going into intermediate algebra with a changed mindset and the grade highly reflected that. Ever since that I have enjoyed math classes. Math is a difficult subject even for me moving up the ladder. Understanding concepts takes time, a lot of time and it can be frustrating. I know the struggle. I have been helping classmates from the beginning of my math career up to now. Given the opportunity to be a supplemental instructor for a college algebra class (the highest dropped class at ACC) it has really made me appreciate spreading the knowledge. Helping students go from D's and C's to A's and B's. The feeling of being able to help someone with a topic I once had difficulty with is indescribable. That is what ultimately led me to reach out to other tutoring positions such as varsity tutors. To spread the knowledge and to relay a positive message to fellow students or anyone looking to understand a difficult subject.Subjects I tutor,Algebra 1Algebra 2TrigonometryCalculus 1

As a teacher with over 17 years experience it is important for me to know what "works" for my students. Sometimes I know right away while other times it takes a considerable amount of work.

I enjoy helping students achieve there goals.In the state of Virginia I am certified in middle grades English and math along with my certification as a K-12 special education teacher.

ACT Prep Tutor • +47 Subjects

Teaching has always been more than just a job to me it's a way to make a difference. I became a tutor because I believe every student deserves someone who listens, encourages, and never gives up on them. Whether it's helping a child grasp a math problem they've been struggling with or guiding a student to find their voice in writing, I'm always inspired by the "aha" moments I get to witness.My experience as a tutor has taught me that no two learners are the same. I take time to understand each student's learning style, pace, and personality, so I can create lessons that are both effective and enjoyable. I'm especially proud of helping students who once felt discouraged regain their confidence not just in the subject, but in themselves.I want to be the kind of tutor who not only helps students get better grades, but also shows them that learning can be empowering and even fun. If I can make even a small difference in how someone sees themselves and their abilities, I consider that a success.

Kimberley

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +15 Subjects

I received my Bachelors of Science in Neuroscience from Tulane University in New Orleans, LA.My tutoring style is very dependent on the student and the subject, but I consistently go the extra mile to create study guides, summarization sheets, and unique visualizations to make every student understand both the large and small concepts.I first gained a keen interest in tutoring while living in New Orleans and spending 4 years volunteering as a tutor for underserved schools. Serving as a reading tutor for younger children led me to take a position as a volunteer ACT tutor, where I gained more hands-on experience tutoring older children about to take on college.I have an advantage of being a recent college graduate, where I have a great understanding of the testing styles and work needed to succeed in college level courses. I finished my degree in Neuroscience while being on the pre-medical track, so my science background is extremely strong.During my free time, I love spending time with my dog, Lucca, who I rescued from the SPCA in New Orleans while going to college. He has given me an incredible sense of purpose and care that I never knew was possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with visualizing architectural concepts and understanding how historical, cultural, and technological contexts shaped building design. Common challenges include:

  • Memorizing numerous architectural styles, periods, and key structures without understanding their relationships
  • Analyzing architectural drawings and blueprints without formal training in reading technical documents
  • Connecting architectural movements to broader historical events and social changes
  • Writing analytical essays that go beyond describing buildings to explaining their significance

Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by building connections between concepts rather than treating them as isolated facts, helping students develop both visual literacy and critical thinking skills.

In a classroom setting, instruction typically moves at a fixed pace covering broad architectural movements. Personalized tutoring allows tutors to focus on your specific learning style and gaps. A tutor can spend extra time on periods you find challenging, create custom visual guides or timelines, work through practice essay questions with detailed feedback, and adjust explanations based on what's working for you. This targeted approach helps students move from passive memorization to active analysis—understanding not just what buildings look like, but why architects made specific choices and what those choices reveal about history.

Excellent history of architecture tutors combine subject expertise with strong teaching skills. Look for tutors who:

  • Have deep knowledge of multiple architectural periods and can explain how styles evolved and influenced each other
  • Can teach you to read and interpret architectural drawings, floor plans, and elevations
  • Excel at helping students connect architectural movements to historical contexts—understanding that architecture reflects the values and constraints of its time
  • Are skilled at essay writing instruction, helping you move beyond description to analysis and interpretation
  • Can work with your specific curriculum or exam requirements, whether you're in an AP Art History course, an introductory college survey, or an advanced architecture program

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who combine expertise in architectural history with proven ability to help students develop both knowledge and critical thinking skills.

Essay writing in history of architecture requires moving beyond description to analysis—explaining not just what a building looks like, but why it matters historically and culturally. A tutor can help you develop a framework for analysis, such as examining how a building reflects its historical period, social values, technological innovations, or cultural identity. They can work through practice essays with you, providing feedback on thesis clarity, evidence selection, and argumentation. Many students significantly improve their essay scores by learning to use architectural examples as evidence for larger historical arguments rather than treating them as isolated subjects of study.

Yes. Tutors are experienced in aligning instruction with specific curriculum requirements. For AP Art History, tutors can help you master the required works, understand how to discuss them within historical contexts, and develop strong essay responses to prompt-based questions. For college-level architecture courses, tutors can build your foundational knowledge, strengthen your visual analysis skills, and help you engage with more complex theoretical concepts. Personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific learning objectives of your course while addressing your individual knowledge gaps.

Students typically see improvements in several areas: better grades on essays and exams as they develop stronger analytical skills, increased confidence in class discussions and presentations, faster recall of architectural styles and historical connections, and more sophisticated understanding of how to use architectural examples as evidence. Some students improve their overall course grades significantly once they move from memorization-focused studying to concept-based learning. The timeline depends on your starting point and how frequently you meet with a tutor, but most students notice meaningful progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring sessions.

This connection—understanding architecture within its historical context—is one of the most important skills in the subject. A tutor helps by asking guiding questions: What was happening politically and socially when this building was constructed? What materials and technology were available? What did the patron or society value? By repeatedly making these connections, you develop a framework for thinking about any architectural style or period. Rather than memorizing that Gothic architecture includes pointed arches, you understand why those arches mattered—they reflected both technological innovation and spiritual aspiration. This conceptual understanding makes it easier to remember details and write stronger analytical essays.
