Benjamin
I am a big believer in the power of intuition and curiosity, so I try to teach in a way that nurtures both. I find that it is important not only to know how to get from problem statement to solution, but also to have some understanding of why the pieces fit together the way they do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with memorizing dates and names without understanding the broader context and cause-and-effect relationships between events. Others find it difficult to analyze primary sources, construct evidence-based arguments, or see how historical events connect to modern issues. Personalized tutoring helps students move beyond memorization to develop critical thinking skills and genuine historical understanding.
In a classroom with an 18:1 student-teacher ratio, it's challenging for teachers to address each student's unique learning pace and gaps in foundational knowledge. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on your specific needs—whether that's strengthening essay writing, improving source analysis, or filling gaps in content knowledge—while adapting teaching methods to your learning style. This targeted approach helps students build confidence and mastery more efficiently than classroom instruction alone.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who are familiar with Ohio's academic standards and the specific curriculum used in Dayton schools. Before your first session, you can discuss your school's focus areas—whether that's U.S. History, World History, Ohio History, or AP/honors-level courses—so the tutor can tailor lessons to support your coursework and prepare you for tests and assignments.
Tutors work with students across all grade levels, from middle school introductions to history through high school honors and AP courses like AP U.S. History and AP World History. Whether you're building foundational skills in elementary social studies, tackling high school state history requirements, or preparing for college-level exams, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a tutor who specializes in your specific course and level.
The first session is an opportunity for you and your tutor to get to know each other and establish a clear plan. Your tutor will assess your current understanding, identify specific challenges (like essay structure, source analysis, or content gaps), discuss your goals, and explain how you'll work together. This foundation ensures that subsequent sessions are focused and productive from day one.
Personalized tutoring develops critical skills including analyzing primary and secondary sources, constructing thesis-driven essays with historical evidence, understanding chronology and causation, and synthesizing information across time periods and regions. Students also strengthen their ability to evaluate different historical perspectives, support arguments with credible sources, and apply historical thinking to contemporary issues—all skills that support both academic success and deeper engagement with the subject.
Yes. Tutors help students prepare for classroom exams, state assessments, AP exams, and college entrance exams by reviewing content, practicing essay responses, analyzing sample questions, and building test-taking strategies. Targeted preparation sessions can boost both content confidence and performance, especially when students start several weeks before the test date.
Share your specific needs—your grade level, course, and learning goals—and Varsity Tutors will connect you with an expert tutor who matches your requirements. You can then schedule your first session at a time that works for you. The process is straightforward, and you'll be paired with someone equipped to help you succeed in History.
