Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with memorizing dates and facts without understanding the broader context and connections between events. Others find it difficult to analyze primary sources, construct arguments with historical evidence, or write essays that go beyond simple summaries. Personalized tutoring helps students develop critical thinking skills and learn strategies for organizing information in ways that make history meaningful and memorable.
In a typical St. Louis classroom with a 13:1 student-teacher ratio, teachers must move at a pace that works for the whole class. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on your specific learning style, address gaps in foundational knowledge, and dive deeper into topics you find challenging. Tutors can also tailor their teaching to match your learning preferences—whether you learn best through discussion, document analysis, timelines, or visual connections.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand Missouri's state standards and the specific curricula used across St. Louis school districts. Whether you're working on Missouri history, U.S. History, World History, or AP/honors-level courses, tutors can align their instruction with what you're learning in class while also filling knowledge gaps and preparing you for assessments.
The first session is focused on understanding your current level, learning goals, and specific challenges. Your tutor will ask about topics you find difficult, review recent assignments or test results, and identify whether you need help with foundational concepts, essay writing, source analysis, or test preparation. This helps them create a personalized plan for your sessions moving forward.
Absolutely. Many students find it challenging to move beyond summary and write analytical essays that make arguments supported by evidence. Tutors can teach you how to develop strong theses, organize evidence effectively, analyze primary and secondary sources critically, and structure arguments that demonstrate historical thinking. They'll provide feedback on your writing and help you revise until you're confident in your skills.
Personalized tutoring helps you identify which topics or time periods you understand well and which need more review. Tutors can teach you effective study strategies like creating timelines, making connections between events, and practicing with sample questions. For AP or honors exams, tutors focus on the analytical and argumentative skills that earn higher scores, not just memorization.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who work with students across all grade levels—from middle school Missouri and U.S. History through high school AP U.S. History, AP World History, and other specialized history courses. Whether you're in 7th grade or preparing for college-level work, there's a tutor who can meet you at your level and help you progress.
Pricing for personalized History tutoring varies based on factors like your tutor's experience level, how frequently you meet, and the length of each session.
