Jonathan

Calculus Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from The University of Chicago. I graduated with a degree in Political Science with much additional coursework in literature and philosophy. My favorite part about being a tutor is the moment of satisfaction that comes with seeing one of my students greatly improve after a lot of hard work. My favorite things to tutor are the GRE and the SAT, in part because I feel like a high score on these exams should be accessible for anyone if they are given the tools for success. As a former high school and college debater I enjoy having an opportunity to help students talk their way through the various logical challenges within these exams, as well as develop the kind of self-awareness and mental discipline that is essential to persevering and getting those last few questions right.

Ankit

AP Statistics Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am Ankit Jajoo. I am enrolled in Duke University Class of 2022 studying neuroscience and computer science. STEM is my number one passion, while history is my number one interest. Humanities and STEM not only coexist, but work together often in life. While STEM provides the foundation for the future, humanities contributes to how it is used to advance humanity as a whole. I love biology, chemistry, and computers. It is so cool to see how all these tiny minute parts of the world interact to create you, me, and everything we touch. On the other hand, history is cool to see how societies interacted to create the present world. The past is never separate from us, but always influencing everything from the various countries to cities to the tiny villages all over the world. The world is a combination of all of this and it is my passion to understand the world. Other than just about education and information, I love teaching other people about stuff. I enjoy teaching all my friends some stuff, in return they teach me other stuff. Contrary to popular opinion, teaching is a two way street. I've learned a tremendous amount from students and I hope they learned a similar amount from me. Tutoring students in a field I enjoy such as STEM or history is a dream come true.

Hasan

8th Grade math Tutor • +97 Subjects

I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.

Frequently Asked Questions

World History presents several unique learning obstacles. Many students struggle with memorizing vast amounts of content spanning multiple centuries and civilizations, while others find it difficult to connect historical events to broader themes and cause-and-effect relationships. Additionally, analyzing primary sources, understanding different perspectives, and synthesizing information from multiple time periods can feel overwhelming in a traditional classroom setting where pacing is fixed. Personalized tutoring helps by focusing on your specific challenges—whether that's mastering timelines, improving essay analysis, or deepening conceptual understanding—rather than moving through material at a one-size-fits-all pace.

In a classroom, teachers must balance the needs of 20-30+ students with varying skill levels and learning styles. Personalized tutoring allows a tutor to adapt their approach specifically to your learning style, academic goals, and pace. If you need extra time understanding the Industrial Revolution's global impact, your tutor can spend focused sessions on that concept. If you're strong on chronology but weak on comparative analysis, lessons can target exactly what you need. This targeted approach helps students move from surface-level memorization to deeper historical thinking—connecting events, evaluating sources, and forming evidence-based arguments about causation and consequence.

Excellent World History tutors combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to break down complex topics into digestible pieces. They understand different curriculum standards (AP World History, IB History, standard high school courses) and can align instruction to what your school emphasizes. Beyond content expertise, the best tutors are skilled at helping students develop critical thinking skills—asking questions that push you to analyze sources, consider multiple viewpoints, and construct nuanced arguments. They also know how to make history engaging by connecting the past to contemporary issues, which helps students see relevance and retain information more effectively.

Absolutely. Essay writing and primary source analysis are core World History skills, and personalized tutoring is particularly effective for developing these. Tutors can teach you structured approaches to historical essays—forming strong thesis statements, using evidence effectively, and constructing arguments about causation. For document analysis, tutors can model how to read sources critically: identifying perspective, bias, context, and reliability. Rather than getting generic feedback on an essay, personalized instruction allows your tutor to identify your specific patterns (perhaps you struggle with topic sentences, or you use quotes without analysis) and practice targeted revisions until the skill becomes automatic.

Rather than rote memorization, effective World History learning involves organizing content into meaningful patterns and stories. Expert tutors teach memory strategies like creating timelines, building thematic webs (connecting how trade, religion, or conflict shaped multiple regions), and using active recall through practice questions and self-testing. The key is understanding why events matter and how they connect, which makes them far easier to retain than isolated facts. Personalized tutoring can help you develop a study system tailored to how your brain works best—whether through visual timelines, narrative summaries, or concept mapping—so studying becomes more efficient and content actually sticks.

AP World History and IB History require not just content knowledge but also strong analytical and writing skills. Tutors experienced with these curricula know the specific themes and skills the exams emphasize—for AP, that's thematic learning and comparison across time periods; for IB, that's historiography and evaluating historical interpretations. Effective exam preparation involves practicing multiple-choice questions and timed essays, receiving detailed feedback on your analysis, and building confidence with the exam format. Personalized tutoring allows you to focus on weaker content areas and skill gaps while reinforcing strengths, which is far more efficient than generic test prep.

Improvement timelines vary based on your starting point and goals. If you're working on specific skills like essay writing or document analysis, many students see noticeable improvement in 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring. For broader content mastery or exam preparation, a longer-term commitment (2-3 months or more) allows time to cover material deeply, practice retrieval, and build confidence. The key is consistency—regular sessions help knowledge stick better than cramming. Your tutor can set clear, measurable goals with you early on (target essay score improvements, specific concepts to master, or exam score benchmarks) so you can track progress and stay motivated.
