Patrick
Calculus Tutor • +41 Subjects
I am most passionate about SAT/ACT Reading and Writing, Spanish, History, and ESOL. I enjoy being a tutor because I love to help students strive for and achieve their goals! I believe every student learns in a different way, which is why I personalize my tutoring approach to fit YOUR needs. I am familiar with the SAT and ACT reading and writing sections, and I can help students improve their scores by walking them through practice questions AND giving them my own testing strategies. I know the SAT and ACT can be stressful for students, but I prepare them so that they walk into the testing room feeling confident and ready!
Lianna

I am in my final semester at the University of North Texas, majoring in political science, minoring in criminal justice and social science, and recieving certificates in legal studies and Latine/Mexican American studies. I also work tutoring and caring for elementary school students in an extended school day program. I look forward to assisting students learn the subjects that once intimidated me, such as government, politics and history. There is always so much going on in the school day and its beneficial to get more indepth help with subjects when you can. I am willing to provide this assistance so students feel comfortable and confident with the material they are learning. In my free time, I enjoy painting and watching TV or movies.

I am looking at their work 'from the outside' and can therefore see where they have improved whereas the student might see their struggles more clearly than their progress. I also believe and emphasize that learning is an ongoing process, and academic skills don't come naturally to most people - they are skills which require practice over time. With a subject like Spanish, I try to relate to the student's struggles by talking about issues that I found difficult as well.
Simon
Calculus Tutor • +33 Subjects
I'm eighteen years old, and I'm about to start my freshman year as a Musical Theatre major at Oklahoma City University. After being born in Colombia and living here in the United States, I've become completely fluent in both Spanish and English, which has helped me quite a bit in finding different ways to help my students solve problems and overcome issues. As a recent high school graduate, I understand how teenagers feel about school and studying, and it's easy for me to relate to that. It's comforting for teenagers to work with someone who knows what it's like to be a high school student, so it's easier for me to connect with them. In my free time I enjoy playing music, singing, watching films, and reading a good book. Hobbies: books, music, singing, films, reading, writing, art

Frequently Asked Questions
Latin America History courses generally span from pre-Columbian civilizations through the modern era, covering the Aztec and Inca empires, European colonization, independence movements, and contemporary regional development. Students explore themes like indigenous cultures, colonial systems, revolutionary figures (such as Bolívar and San Martín), and how historical events shaped modern Latin American nations. The specific focus varies by curriculum, but most courses emphasize understanding how geography, culture, and politics have influenced the region's development.
Students often struggle with the complexity of multiple overlapping timelines and the interconnected nature of events across different countries. Many find it difficult to keep track of numerous independence leaders, colonial powers, and shifting borders, especially when studying several nations simultaneously. Additionally, understanding the cultural and indigenous perspectives—rather than just European colonial narratives—requires engaging with different source materials and interpretive frameworks. Finally, recognizing how historical patterns continue to influence contemporary Latin America requires synthesizing information across centuries.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify your specific knowledge gaps and tailor explanations to your learning style. Whether you struggle with chronology, understanding causation between events, or analyzing primary sources from different perspectives, a tutor can focus on those areas rather than moving at a generic class pace. Tutors can also help you develop strong note-taking strategies, create visual timelines or concept maps, and practice essay writing or exam techniques specific to your course requirements. This targeted approach helps you build confidence and deeper understanding rather than just memorizing facts.
Look for a tutor with strong subject knowledge who can explain complex historical concepts clearly and help you see connections between events, peoples, and time periods. The best tutors are skilled at asking questions that prompt critical thinking rather than simply providing answers. They should also be familiar with your specific curriculum or exam format (whether AP Latin American History, IB History, or standard high school coursework) and experienced in helping students develop essay-writing and analytical skills. A tutor who demonstrates enthusiasm for the subject and patience in breaking down challenging topics can make a significant difference in your understanding and performance.
Strong essays require more than listing facts—they need clear thesis statements, evidence-based arguments, and analysis of cause and effect. A tutor can help you practice structuring essays around historical arguments, selecting relevant examples, and evaluating different interpretations of events. They can review your drafts, identify areas where your reasoning needs strengthening, and teach you how to integrate primary and secondary sources effectively. Regular practice with feedback, combined with understanding what graders or teachers are looking for, helps you develop the analytical skills that elevate your work from descriptive to genuinely insightful.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in exam preparation who understand the specific skills tested on AP exams, IB assessments, or other standardized tests. They can help you master the format of multiple-choice questions, develop strategies for document-based questions (DBQs), and practice long-essay responses under timed conditions. Tutors can also help you identify patterns in what types of questions are asked, ensure you have solid coverage of required content, and build test-taking confidence through targeted practice and feedback.
Organization is key to managing the volume of information in Latin America History. Effective strategies include creating timelines by country, using color-coded notes for different themes (indigenous, colonial, independence, modern era), maintaining a chart of key figures and their roles, and building concept maps showing how events and regions connect. A tutor can help you develop a system that works for your learning style and ensure you're organizing information in ways that support both recall and analysis. Regular review and reorganizing notes as you learn new material helps prevent information from feeling overwhelming and makes studying for exams much more efficient.
