Award-Winning Middle School History Tutors

The term Middle Eastern Studies is something of a misnomer, as the phrase "Middle East" was coined by Europeans looking for an oversimplified way to describe all of the peoples from Egypt to Iraq. In truth, the Middle East contains a diverse array of cultures and traditions that students of Middle Eastern Studies get to explore. If the sheer volume of topics has you feeling overwhelmed, Varsity Tutors can refer you to an experienced Middle Eastern Studies tutor to help you pursue your academic goals.

Here is some of what you can look forward to reviewing during Middle Eastern tutoring sessions:

• The Cultures and Traditions of Middle Eastern peoples such as the Arabs, Afghans, and Turks
• The Origins of the Three Major Monotheistic Religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam)
• Similarities and Differences Between the Major Monotheistic Religions
• The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
• Middle Eastern Politics
• The Contemporary Middle East

One of the most challenging components of Middle Eastern Studies is remembering which names are associated with which culture. Your Middle Eastern Studies tutor can create flashcards to make it easier to study the basics. Documentaries and other educational programs may also help it stick should more traditional instruction not prove sufficient. Writing is also an important piece of Middle Eastern Studies, especially when it comes to comparing and contrasting the world's major religions. If you have a hard time composing comparative essays, you may practice outlining your thoughts during college Middle Eastern Studies tutoring sessions to make them easier to write. Outlines also serve as a convenient reference point to make sure that all of the details you originally planned to include are in the final product.
