Award-Winning European History Tutors

...love teaching and tutoring. I taught English in primary schools in France last year. I learned an enormous amount about the importance of education and the importance of good teachers and mentors. Education is a field that I hope to pursue as a career and there is nothing more crucial to the project of education than fostering positive relationships with students. Tutoring is a great way to begin to do that. I also have a...

...-- SAT, ACT, PSAT, SHSAT, and GRE -- I particularly love tutoring writing, and creative writing is a hobby of mine. My philosophy is that even when we are preparing for a standardized exam, we should always be relating the work to your passions, pursuits, and educational goals to make the work that much more meaningful. In my spare time, you'll often find me learning bits of new languages for fun or writing. I am...

I am a focused individual who takes work seriously. I take pride in my work, so I attempt to complete any task to the best of my ability. I work well with others and follow directions easily. I am able to articulate and convey my thoughts clearly and quickly.

...general and designed to see where your strengths and weaknesses are. After that, we'll go over what strategies you can use to best increase your score. For example, if you're struggling with managing your time, we'll go over the best order in which to answer the questions, how to decide whether or not to skip a question, and what shortcuts you can take so you spend less time per question. If you're struggling with a...

As an instructor, I believe that mastery is best served when students can find their stride. A tutor, or any instructor for that matter, should not only clarify difficult concepts, but help encourage an interest in the subject studied overall. Finding the best way to develop that interest begins with determining how best to grapple with difficulties. In so doing, I hope to spur students to a larger, surer understanding of the subjects they study.

...younger sister study for both the PSAT and SAT on all three sections. When studying I love to make history fun, make math simpler and easier to understand, and help students feel calmer and more confident when taking tests. In my freetime, I like to explore everything New York City has to offer, including watching great Broadway plays, hanging out in Central Park, and catching a few Yankee games during the summer.

...and students for the past 7 years of my life and I have always assumed a role of a mentor, instead of being a simple tutor. Tutoring in general is a perfect means of passing down tips and experience gathered over years of schooling that help numerous students, no matter where they are. Outside of all of these aspectes, I am an avid traveler and have a huge passion to touch every little piece of...

...ability to communicate material in a clear and approachable manner. Past students have remarked that my teaching style is animated and are surprised at their ability to focus and understand concepts even after a long day of school, practice, or work. When I am not teaching or grading papers, I can usually be found playing some brass instrument or another, umpiring baseball, trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, or spending far too much...

...a driving factor in the my college choice. I went to Swarthmore College, a liberal arts college outside of Philadelphia. There, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Latin American Studies. I plan to continue my education and get a Master's in Public Policy. My tutoring philosophy partially comes from what worked with me, but it also from my experience working with students. I worked in a high school as an interventionist working with small groups...

...Italy. Currently I am a Masters student in Art History at Southern Methodist University. Throughout my undergraduate education, I have taught and tutored children in various ways. My junior year of college I was a religious school teacher for First Graders. During the summer of 2012, I was an intern at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the Cloister's Museum and Gardens (which is a part of the Medieval Department). Throughout the summer, I led...

Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention. I also think that learning should be an enjoyable experience and not feel like a chore which is why I teach in an interactive and exciting manner.

My name is Sam, and I recently graduated from Yale University with a BA in History. I really enjoy helping people learn. Teaching is great, and I'm here to help!

...recent Northwestern grad and NYC transplant, with a passion for reading, fashion, and social media. In addition to tutoring, I've spent multiple years interning in the literary world and working at my university's fashion magazine; I have both a diverse range of experiences and an eye for detail. I don't believe in giving anything less than 110% of my time and effort, especially when understanding the needs of my students. I coincidentally also happen to...

...My largest interest, outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music of the African diaspora. I also love watching independent films and reading fiction and philosophy. I love living in Brooklyn, but I enjoy leaving the city to go hiking, and I bike throughout...

...like to be the one to help you improve academically and grow to meet your potential. I know from experience that academics can be challenging, but with the right support and encouragement every student is capable of excellence. Together we can work towards improving your test-taking skills and strategies, as well as increasing engagement by relating material to your personal strengths and interests. History and Literature are two of my greatest passions, subjects I studied...

...arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best to emulate the latter. And, as always, I'm happy with your results when you are happy with your results. Or...

The greatest of all wisdoms is to know what you do not know.

...a student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I have spent a large portion of my life outside of the United States and am fluent in Spanish and currently studying Arabic as well. I was homeschooled for much of my life and loved it, but completed my last three years of high school in a public school and am thus well acquainted with the various forms of standardized testing. When I'm not studying I like singing...

...a PhD student in Religious Studies at UNC Chapel Hill, looking to supplement my stipend with some tutoring jobs. I take my role as an educator very seriously, committing a great deal of time and energy to my courses at the University, and drawing upon my experience as both a high school and middle school teacher in the past. I have always enjoyed working with kids in recreational (summer camp) and educational capacities, and hope...

...problem solving. I did a lot of it as an undergraduate at the University of Washington. As a tutor, I believe that test preparation is a solvable problem, and I am excited about using my solutions to help students achieve their goals. Preparing for a standardized test can feel overwhelming. But you really can be prepared. Careful, concept-oriented preparation can help ensure that students don’t run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation...
