10th Grade Tutor • +127 Subjects
My approach to teaching and tutoring centers around my background as a liberal arts student turned pre-med. I attended Wesleyan University and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem.In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of how to approach a passage and its correlated questions will help regardless of content.

I love to help and teach people. I have recently been teaching newly hired air traffic control students for over a year in a virtual environment. Before that, I taught in the classroom for three years. My main career was in air traffic control. That lasted about 28 years, during which I trained all ages of people. I have an associate's degree in liberal arts from Johnson County CC. I tutor air traffic control subjects along with math. I am very patient with the people I teach and will work very hard to help you understand what you want to learn.

I will be attending the University of Florida pursuing a degree in finance. I have been tutoring students for four years now. I have tutored 6-12th graders in subject in various math subjects, however, I am most passionate about statistics.

Teaching is my fourth career. I've learned my way through the first three by watching others and choosing how to adapt and apply their techniques to the specific purpose of my projects.In high school I was a STEM student before the term existed, but I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vassar College with a major in Drama and a double minor in English and Art.Starting out on my career path in New York City, I took and taught theater crafts and began to develop prototype design skills while working in live theater, opera, dance, and television/video, and after contributing to Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and The Muppet Movie, relocated to London through the Jim Henson companies to work on feature films such as Dark Crystal, Dreamchild, Labyrinth, and Little Shop of Horrors.After a time, being at the intersection of a script and its visualization excited me the most and led me to emulate my colleagues who were into concept creation by beginning to research and write story treatments for Labyrinth.Returning to the States to raise a family, I applied what I'd learned about production to the corporate world. My experience and imagination yoked to a client's vision and purpose allowed me to take on a variety of roles: creative director, writer, producer, graphic designer, and occasional project management.As in the past, I often worked in the trenches, this time learning the software that supported and enhanced our efforts. But overall, my focus was to communicate, through language and visual representation, how a project could be realized. I knew that the plan might grow and change as it progressed, so had to be mindful that collaboration, communication, and flexibility were key to adapting to change as we moved toward the client's goal.Although I returned to college and earned a Master's in English and a Certificate in Creative Writing, my progress in the real world still relies on both words and pictures. The more we engage our senses, the deeper will be our ability to convey our intentions to those with whom we live, work, and play.Therefore, I wish to find out how you learn best so that together we may craft a plan for your progress, whatever your goal. Please share your expectations and concerns. Your goal may seem hazy at the start, but as learning is about observing, trying, and sometimes failing, your vision will come into focus. We can course correct as we move forward together to ensure a resolution, even if the destination changes somewhat. That's life, isn't it?

College English Tutor • +25 Subjects
As a teacher, I have seen students first hand struggling to learn in a congested classroom setting. Even one in which there are a significantly reduced number of students in the room. This goes for both general education and special education students. I have also seen them flourish after being given extra one on one attention and time to learn concepts that he or she is struggling with. That is why I wanted to become a tutor in my spare time. I spend every day as an educator and not always able to give the extra attention to the students that require it the most. When tutoring, I am able to spend as much time as necessary on a concept, and use different methods to convey that concept to my students.

I am currently an upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too!I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all of a sudden love reading and attack hard words never before tried is the best feeling in the world.I believe education should be fun, loving, inviting, challenging, and organized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with visualizing architectural concepts and understanding how historical, cultural, and technological contexts shaped building design. Common challenges include:
- Memorizing numerous architectural styles, periods, and key structures without understanding their relationships
- Analyzing architectural drawings and blueprints without formal training in reading technical documents
- Connecting architectural movements to broader historical events and social changes
- Writing analytical essays that go beyond describing buildings to explaining their significance
Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by building connections between concepts rather than treating them as isolated facts, helping students develop both visual literacy and critical thinking skills.
In a classroom setting, instruction typically moves at a fixed pace covering broad architectural movements. Personalized tutoring allows tutors to focus on your specific learning style and gaps. A tutor can spend extra time on periods you find challenging, create custom visual guides or timelines, work through practice essay questions with detailed feedback, and adjust explanations based on what's working for you. This targeted approach helps students move from passive memorization to active analysis—understanding not just what buildings look like, but why architects made specific choices and what those choices reveal about history.
Excellent history of architecture tutors combine subject expertise with strong teaching skills. Look for tutors who:
- Have deep knowledge of multiple architectural periods and can explain how styles evolved and influenced each other
- Can teach you to read and interpret architectural drawings, floor plans, and elevations
- Excel at helping students connect architectural movements to historical contexts—understanding that architecture reflects the values and constraints of its time
- Are skilled at essay writing instruction, helping you move beyond description to analysis and interpretation
- Can work with your specific curriculum or exam requirements, whether you're in an AP Art History course, an introductory college survey, or an advanced architecture program
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who combine expertise in architectural history with proven ability to help students develop both knowledge and critical thinking skills.
Essay writing in history of architecture requires moving beyond description to analysis—explaining not just what a building looks like, but why it matters historically and culturally. A tutor can help you develop a framework for analysis, such as examining how a building reflects its historical period, social values, technological innovations, or cultural identity. They can work through practice essays with you, providing feedback on thesis clarity, evidence selection, and argumentation. Many students significantly improve their essay scores by learning to use architectural examples as evidence for larger historical arguments rather than treating them as isolated subjects of study.
Yes. Tutors are experienced in aligning instruction with specific curriculum requirements. For AP Art History, tutors can help you master the required works, understand how to discuss them within historical contexts, and develop strong essay responses to prompt-based questions. For college-level architecture courses, tutors can build your foundational knowledge, strengthen your visual analysis skills, and help you engage with more complex theoretical concepts. Personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific learning objectives of your course while addressing your individual knowledge gaps.
Students typically see improvements in several areas: better grades on essays and exams as they develop stronger analytical skills, increased confidence in class discussions and presentations, faster recall of architectural styles and historical connections, and more sophisticated understanding of how to use architectural examples as evidence. Some students improve their overall course grades significantly once they move from memorization-focused studying to concept-based learning. The timeline depends on your starting point and how frequently you meet with a tutor, but most students notice meaningful progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring sessions.
This connection—understanding architecture within its historical context—is one of the most important skills in the subject. A tutor helps by asking guiding questions: What was happening politically and socially when this building was constructed? What materials and technology were available? What did the patron or society value? By repeatedly making these connections, you develop a framework for thinking about any architectural style or period. Rather than memorizing that Gothic architecture includes pointed arches, you understand why those arches mattered—they reflected both technological innovation and spiritual aspiration. This conceptual understanding makes it easier to remember details and write stronger analytical essays.
