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.

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.

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
Quinn

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.
Matthew

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
7th grade AP History students often struggle with synthesizing large amounts of historical information into coherent narratives, particularly when comparing different time periods or civilizations. Many students find it difficult to move beyond memorizing dates and facts to understanding causation—why events happened and how they connected to broader patterns. Additionally, analyzing primary sources and developing evidence-based arguments (rather than opinion-based responses) is a common weak point, as is managing the reading load of dense historical texts while extracting key information efficiently.
An effective 7th grade AP History tutor should be able to break down complex historical concepts into digestible pieces and help students see connections across time periods and regions. They should have strong expertise in primary source analysis, essay writing (particularly thesis development and evidence integration), and test-taking strategies specific to AP-style multiple choice and free response questions. Look for someone who can diagnose whether a student's struggles stem from content gaps, reading comprehension, writing mechanics, or test anxiety—and adjust their approach accordingly.
Tutors can teach the specific structure AP graders expect: a clear thesis that directly answers the prompt, body paragraphs organized around evidence rather than chronology, and integration of primary sources as proof rather than summary. Many 7th graders struggle with moving beyond "this document shows X" to "this document proves my argument because Y." A tutor can model this analysis process, provide targeted feedback on drafts, and help students practice under timed conditions so they develop both skill and confidence before high-stakes assessments.
Primary sources require students to ask critical questions—Who created this? When? For what audience? What's the bias or perspective?—and then use those answers to evaluate the source's reliability and relevance to a historical argument. Many 7th graders approach sources passively, simply reading them without interrogation. Tutors teach a systematic analysis framework, model how to extract specific evidence, and help students practice connecting sources to broader themes and arguments rather than treating each source in isolation.
AP History exams require students to read dense passages, analyze documents, and write coherent essays under strict time limits. Tutors can teach strategic reading techniques (like skimming for main ideas before diving deep), help students practice allocating time across multiple-choice and free-response sections, and build confidence through timed practice tests. They can also identify whether a student's time management problem stems from reading speed, indecision about what to write, or anxiety—and target solutions accordingly.
A tutor will typically assess which time periods, regions, or themes a student understands well versus where confusion exists—often discovering that gaps in foundational knowledge (like ancient civilizations or early American history) create problems understanding later topics. They then fill these gaps strategically, connecting new content to what the student already knows and emphasizing the cause-and-effect relationships that make history coherent rather than just a list of events. This targeted approach is much more efficient than reteaching everything.
Yes—much of test anxiety stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about what to expect. Tutors reduce anxiety by building genuine content knowledge, familiarizing students with the exact format and question types they'll encounter, and providing repeated practice under test conditions so the experience feels manageable rather than overwhelming. As students see their skills improve and gain confidence in their ability to analyze sources and construct arguments, anxiety typically decreases significantly.
AP History texts are dense and assume background knowledge students may not have. Tutors teach active reading strategies—annotating for main ideas, identifying key terms, pausing to ask clarifying questions—and help students distinguish between important details and supporting examples. They also work on vocabulary in historical context (terms like "feudalism" or "imperialism" that have specific meanings in history) and help students build mental frameworks for organizing information, so reading becomes less overwhelming and more purposeful.
