Hasan
8th Grade math Tutor • +97 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.
Stephanie
Calculus Tutor • +39 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Cornell University with a bachelors degree in both English and History and am currently pursuing my Masters degree in History at the University of Pennsylvania. My long-term goals include enrolling in a Phd program in the History department and becoming a form of history or social studies teacher post-graduation. I currently work with Varsity Tutoring as an online tutor and want to expand my tutoring opportunities. During my time at Cornell, I participated in a tutoring program for two years called AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) which is an organization that aims to close the achievement gap between students and prepare them for college and other postsecondary opportunities. Many of the goals that were part of the program, such as teaching students skills and behaviors for academic success, providing intensive support to maintain positive student/teacher relationships and developing a sense of personal achievement through hard work.

Frequently Asked Questions
College World History combines the scope of global civilizations with the analytical rigor expected at the university level. Many students struggle with synthesizing vast amounts of historical information, moving beyond memorization to develop critical arguments about causation and change over time. Others find it challenging to balance coverage of non-Western societies with traditional European-focused narratives, or to connect historical events across regions and time periods. Personalized tutoring helps students develop strategies for organizing complex material, identifying patterns across civilizations, and crafting evidence-based historical arguments that go beyond simple fact recall.
College World History requires deeper analysis, stronger writing skills, and greater engagement with primary sources and historiographical debates. Rather than focusing on "what happened," college-level instruction emphasizes "why it mattered," "how historians interpret events differently," and "what broader patterns emerge." Students are expected to construct nuanced arguments, evaluate competing interpretations, and connect local events to global trends. A tutor can help you transition from high school history by teaching you how to read scholarly sources critically, develop thesis-driven essays, and think like a historian rather than a student memorizing facts.
An excellent College World History tutor combines deep content knowledge with the ability to help you organize and synthesize information effectively. Look for someone who can explain not just what happened, but why it matters and how it connects to larger historical patterns. They should be skilled at helping you develop strong thesis statements, evaluate primary sources, and construct evidence-based arguments. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand college-level expectations and can provide targeted support whether you're strengthening your understanding of specific regions, preparing for exams, or refining your essay writing.
One-on-one instruction allows a tutor to identify exactly where you're struggling—whether it's understanding specific time periods, connecting themes across regions, organizing essays, or analyzing primary sources—and address those gaps directly. Rather than reviewing material the whole class needs, a tutor can focus on your individual learning challenges and learning style. Research on personalized instruction shows it can significantly accelerate learning compared to classroom instruction alone. Many students see measurable improvement in exam scores and essay grades within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when working on test preparation or major assignments.
Students frequently seek support with specific challenging units like the Industrial Revolution and its global impacts, the rise and fall of empires and imperialism, twentieth-century ideological conflicts (fascism, communism, colonialism), and non-Western history including African, Asian, and Latin American civilizations. Many also need help synthesizing how these topics connect—for example, understanding how imperialism shaped colonial resistance movements or how global economic systems developed over time. Additionally, students often benefit from targeted help with essay writing, thesis development, and analyzing historical documents. A tutor can help you build mastery in whichever topics your course emphasizes or where you're feeling less confident.
The timeline for improvement depends on your starting point, how frequently you meet with a tutor, and how actively you engage with the material. Many students see noticeable improvement in their understanding of concepts within 2-3 sessions, and measurable grade improvements—particularly on essays and exams—typically appear within 4-6 weeks of consistent work. Some students work with a tutor throughout a semester to maintain strong performance, while others focus on intensive preparation for midterms, finals, or major papers. Varsity Tutors can help you develop a tutoring plan based on your specific goals, whether that's earning an A in the course, preparing for AP World History or a placement exam, or strengthening specific skills like essay writing.
Yes. Tutors can provide specialized test preparation that goes beyond general course support, including strategic review of high-frequency topics, practice with the specific question formats you'll encounter, time management strategies, and targeted work on your weaker areas. For AP World History, this might include intensive study of thematic learning outcomes and practice with free-response essays. For college placement exams, tutors can help you identify knowledge gaps and develop efficient study strategies. Personalized preparation is more effective than generic test prep because a tutor can focus on what you specifically need to improve rather than reviewing material you've already mastered.
