Michelle

ACT Prep Tutor • +40 Subjects

I graduated from Yale University, with distinction, with a B.A. in Religious Studies. I also graduated from the Duke Divinity School, Summa Cum Laude. I began tutoring when I was in high school. I taught ESL middle school students essential English and Math skills. Since then, I have taught Math, Writing, Study Skills, and Chemistry in a summer program at an elite California private school. I have also developed curriculum for high school and college students in Theology and Religious Studies. I particularly enjoy assisting students with test preparation. By helping students to master core English and Math skills, I can aid students to open doors for their future.My favorite moments as a tutor are when a student grasps concepts we have been working on and they understand the material in a new way. In addition to teaching, over the last five years, I have served as a Mentor to youth and college students. I believe that encouragement and mentoring are essential components of a successful tutoring relationship. While teaching students the skills they need to succeed, I help students to gain confidence in their abilities, and to see their own potential. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy baking, eating anything with chocolate, taking and editing pictures, reading, and singing.

Kyler

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

Hello! My name is Kyler and I am currently a Senior at Indiana University studying Japanese Language and History as well as Political Science. As I am very passionate about these fields, I also really want to help others learning about these subjects in any way I can. I plan on becoming a teacher someday and I hope that through Varsity Tutors I can help students gain greater understanding and interests in these subjects among others. I am incredibly patient and will do whatever I can to assist students in comprehending material as I know how hard it can be sometimes, especially with things that do not particularly interest some people. Currently I assist students at IU through the Japanese conversation table, where students come to practice speaking.

Alexander

Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

Hello! My name is Alex, and I am a 3rd year student attending the University of British Columbia majoring in Statistics and Computer Science. I am looking to tutor students in the subjects of Mathematics, Programming, and Statistics. I believe that the process of learning is delicate. From introducing concepts in a basic framework to ease initial struggle, to pushing my students to complete challenging problems to solidify understand, I believe each step in the process is essential, but should be adjusted to each student. At the end of it all, I feel there is nothing more rewarding than seeing my students solve problems involving concepts that they once had never known.I have a few years of tutoring experience in high school, where I voluntarily provided math and science homework help for kids at the Greater Lawrence Technical School. I also worked as a tutor at the Russian School of Mathematics for a year. My experiences in these positions, and working as a kids ski instructor for a winter, provide me with a solid foundation not only as a teacher, but as a mentor and caretaker for children. I am patient, sympathetic, but, if required, I can also be demanding. I would love the opportunity to teach your child :).

Jennifer

Anatomy Tutor • +4 Subjects

I am a top graduate of Rutgers University and hold a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Although I am a practicing clinician, I also love to teach and tutor. I have had several years of teaching experience, including a variety of teaching experiences throughout my undergraduate and my doctorate program. While teaching, I incorporate real world examples to help the student understand the application of the learning material to the real world environment. I also tailor each student's tutoring session to meet the individual needs of that student, and am able to assess the learning process and progress of each student. Aside from physical therapy and education, I also hold a strong interest in world travel, photography, and animal welfare. I look forward to meeting and working with you to meet your educational goals.

I am a 2018 graduate of College of the Holy Cross with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Education. With a dedication to service and drive to combat education inequality, I moved to New York City for a 2 year commitment with Teach For America, to teach Kindergarten in Brooklyn.

For my own mental health as an educator, I became a 250 hr Registered Yoga Teacher and have loved practicing and building a community with CorePower Yoga. My passion lies in socioemotional learning and mindfulness in everyday life. I graduated in June 2020 from Relay Graduate School of Education with a Masters of Arts in Teaching General and Special Education, grades 1-6. Currently I am a graduate student at Teachers College, Columbia University for mental health counseling.

Timothy

Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a graduate of New Mexico State University, with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. My studies there included extensive physics and computer science coursework as well.While in college, I tutored many fellow students, which is how I got my start with tutoring. Since then I have tutored all ages of students, both in-person and online, in many math, science, and computer coding subjects. My tutoring style is interactive. For any student whom I teach, the goal is always that the student is able to work the problems and explain the steps. As professors of mine said when I was in school, "Math is not a spectator sport", and "You can't do physics without a calculator in your hand". When I teach, the student does as much of the work as he or she can; if stuck on something I will provide hints as needed, and I will only take over and complete a problem as a last resort.My personal learning style emphasizes understanding over repetition, although I am very aware that this is not true for everyone - many students require substantial repetition in order to gain confidence and mastery.Most of my spare time recently has been directed towards the development of a mathematically-oriented computer game, which I hope to publish within a year or two. In addition to game development, I also enjoy hiking, biking, camping, and playing chess.

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.
