Jeffrey

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often find the transition from standard high school history to AP-level analysis challenging, particularly with causation and complexity. Common trouble spots include understanding the nuances of colonial development and how different regions diverged economically and socially, mastering the causes and consequences of the Civil War beyond basic facts, and analyzing the Progressive Era's competing reform movements. Many students also struggle with periodization—recognizing how to group and compare eras effectively—and with synthesizing multiple perspectives on controversial topics like Reconstruction or American imperialism. A tutor experienced in AP History can help you move beyond memorization to develop the analytical framework the exam requires.

The DBQ and FRQ sections require skills that go beyond traditional test prep—you need to construct arguments using historical evidence while managing tight time constraints. A tutor can teach you how to quickly analyze primary and secondary sources for bias, perspective, and historical context, then weave them into a coherent thesis. They'll also help you practice the specific rubric requirements, like addressing complexity and demonstrating understanding of multiple viewpoints. With targeted practice on past DBQs and FRQs, you'll develop the muscle memory to write compelling essays under timed conditions.

AP History multiple choice questions often include plausible distractors that test deeper understanding rather than surface-level knowledge. A tutor can teach you to identify what each question is really asking—whether it's about causation, consequence, or comparison—and to recognize when answer choices use accurate historical facts but in the wrong context or time period. They'll also help you develop elimination strategies and teach you to spot common test-maker patterns, like questions designed to test whether you understand the *significance* of an event rather than just knowing it happened. Practice with released exams under timed conditions is essential to building confidence and speed.

Synthesis is a key AP skill that requires you to identify patterns, connections, and continuities across different eras—something that feels overwhelming without structure. A tutor can help you build a framework for organizing U.S. history thematically (such as political development, economic systems, social movements, or foreign policy) so you can see how ideas and conflicts evolve over time. They'll teach you to ask questions like "How did this earlier conflict influence this later one?" or "What stayed the same despite major changes?" Regular practice comparing documents, events, and perspectives from different periods helps train your brain to think in the interconnected way the AP exam rewards.

The AP History exam gives you 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete 55 multiple choice questions, a DBQ, and two FRQs—pacing is critical. A tutor can help you develop a personalized time strategy based on your strengths; for example, if you're slower with essays, you might spend 45 minutes on the DBQ and 40 on each FRQ, leaving 90 minutes for multiple choice. They'll also teach you to recognize when to move on from a difficult question rather than getting stuck, and how to quickly outline your essays to write faster without sacrificing quality. Practicing full-length timed exams with your tutor helps you refine your pace and build stamina.

Effective source analysis requires more than just identifying what a document says—you need to understand *who* created it, *when*, *why*, and *for what audience*, then connect it to the historical context of your argument. A tutor can teach you a structured approach: first identify the source type and creator's perspective, then extract the relevant claim or evidence, and finally explain how it supports your thesis while acknowledging any limitations. Many students rush this step or treat sources as simple "proof," but AP graders reward nuanced analysis that shows you understand bias, reliability, and historical significance. Regular practice analyzing sets of documents together helps you internalize this process so you can apply it quickly on test day.

AP History rewards arguments that go beyond simple cause-and-effect to acknowledge multiple causes, competing perspectives, and unintended consequences. A tutor can help you craft a nuanced thesis that makes a clear claim while signaling that you understand the topic's complexity—for example, rather than "The Civil War was fought over slavery," something like "While slavery was central to the conflict, regional economic differences and competing visions of federal power also shaped the war's causes and outcome." They'll teach you to structure your essay so each body paragraph develops one aspect of your argument with specific evidence, and to address counterarguments or alternative interpretations. This approach to argumentation is what separates a 4 or 5 on the exam from lower scores.

Test anxiety in AP History often stems from feeling unprepared for the breadth of content or uncertain about how to approach unfamiliar questions. A tutor helps by systematically building your knowledge and skills so you have genuine confidence, not false reassurance—you'll practice with real past exams, identify your weak spots, and target them directly. They can also teach you test-day strategies like how to manage your mental state during the exam, when to take breaks, and how to approach a question you don't immediately know the answer to. Regular practice under timed, exam-like conditions is one of the most effective ways to reduce anxiety because it removes the unknown; you'll know exactly what to expect and how to handle it.
