Middle School Social Studies Tutoring FAQ
Middle school social studies represents the first time students go beyond surface history to the underlying causes of cultural phenomena. This can make the material much more engaging, but it can also become more challenging to keep up with. If your child seems to be falling behind, Varsity Tutors can refer you to an experienced middle school social studies tutor to help them access their academic potential.
Here are some of the topics your child may review during middle school social studies tutoring sessions:
Ancient cultures in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, Rome, and Mesoamerica
American history from the Revolution to the Progressive Era
Critical thinking and research skills within a historical context
An exploration of geography as a key determinant of human culture
The religious, social, and economic reasons for several historical events
Middle school social studies tutoring sessions allow students to concentrate on their unique needs within a one-on-one learning environment. There is enough time to forge a personal rapport between student and instructor, enabling the latter to incorporate the former's interests in order to create more engaging study sessions. Students also get the freedom to spend as much time on a topic as they need to, as a middle school social studies tutor never needs to rush through something to get to the next chapter.
Middle school social studies tutoring can also equip students with the academic skills they'll need in later courses. For instance, a tutor can show your child how to take notes as they read in order to retain more of the information. If they have any questions as they go along, they can also be recorded for future reference. Likewise, a student who struggles to adopt an argumentative tone in their writing may practice doing so with their tutor. An outline can help ensure that they do not forget to include any key details as well. Finally, a tutor can help their pupil distinguish between good academic sources and those that may be less trustworthy.
