Treating history as a discipline of competing arguments rather than a list of dates, Tim teaches students to evaluate sources, identify bias, and construct evidence-driven claims. His philosophy background at MIT means he's especially sharp at showing how to analyze causation — why events happened, not just what happened.

A Penn-trained political science and history double major, Yasmeen brings the kind of deep subject knowledge that lets her teach American history as an interconnected story of governance, power, and policy rather than a march of disconnected dates. She's especially sharp on AP U.S. Government and the constitutional debates, elections, and legislative battles that most history courses build their essay prompts around. Rated 5.0 by students.
I'm trying to work on personal projects. I really enjoy snowboarding, and have been doing that since the third grade. I also enjoy playing sports and video games.
I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.
Economics training at Ohio State's Honors College means Brian reads history through the lens of trade policy, labor movements, and economic systems — the forces that actually drove events like the Industrial Revolution or the Great Depression. He teaches students to build arguments from primary sources and connect cause-and-effect chains across eras, not just memorize dates.
Teaching math full-time means Justin spends every day breaking complicated processes into step-by-step logical sequences — a habit that translates directly to history when students need to trace how one event triggered the next across a unit on, say, the causes of World War I. His Secondary Math Education training also emphasized lesson planning around different learning styles, so he adapts quickly when a student needs a different angle on essay structure or source analysis. He's strongest helping students who already know the material but struggle to organize it into a clear, cause-and-effect argument on paper.
This isn't Adriana's core discipline, but her analytical training sharpens the skills history courses actually test: constructing evidence-based arguments, evaluating sources for bias, and organizing essay responses under time pressure. She's particularly effective at teaching students how to outline a DBQ or thematic essay so the argument stays coherent from start to finish.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
