Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

Frequently Asked Questions

6th Grade AP History (AP Human Geography or World History) is an advanced placement course designed for students ready for college-level rigor earlier than typical. It goes deeper into historical analysis, primary source interpretation, and critical thinking compared to standard 6th grade social studies. The course emphasizes understanding cause-and-effect relationships, evaluating multiple perspectives, and developing strong historical argumentation skills.

Dayton's 29 school districts offer varying levels of advanced coursework. While AP History courses are more commonly offered at the high school level, some middle schools in the area do offer accelerated or honors history programs. If your student's school doesn't offer AP-level history, personalized tutoring can help them prepare for advanced coursework or deepen their understanding of the current curriculum.

Students often struggle with analyzing primary and secondary sources, managing the volume of historical information, and writing analytical essays rather than summaries. Many also find it challenging to connect events across different time periods and regions, or to understand complex historical causation. A tutor can help break down these skills into manageable steps and provide targeted practice in the areas where your student needs the most support.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to focus on your student's specific weaknesses—whether that's essay writing, source analysis, or memorizing key dates and events. Tutors can use targeted practice, teach effective study strategies, and help your student build confidence in tackling complex historical questions. This individualized approach is especially valuable for advanced coursework, where students need to think critically rather than just memorize facts.

In the first session, a tutor will assess your student's current understanding of the material, identify specific strengths and areas for improvement, and discuss learning goals. They'll ask about your student's study habits, any upcoming tests or assignments, and what topics feel most challenging. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan for the following sessions.

Most students benefit from weekly sessions of 1-2 hours, though the ideal frequency depends on your student's current performance and upcoming deadlines. If there's a major test or essay coming up, more frequent sessions can help. A tutor can recommend a schedule based on your student's needs and can adjust as the course progresses.

Varsity Tutors connects you with qualified tutors who have experience teaching advanced history coursework and understand how to make complex material accessible to middle school students. When you reach out, you can specify your student's needs—whether they need help with essays, source analysis, or test preparation—and we'll match them with a tutor who's the right fit.

Tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience and your location in the Dayton area. Varsity Tutors works with tutors at different price points, so you can find an option that fits your budget. We recommend getting a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs and the frequency of sessions you're considering.
