Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

Inrich

French Tutor • +11 Subjects

As a highly motivated, goal and success oriented tutor, I have a proven track record of providing excellent tools for everyone around me to overcome the challenges that they encounter when facing difficult situations. I will graduate from Baruch college with a bachelor's in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and have always received A's in all my mathematic courses. I am always positive and enthusiastic, and I love to share that with everyone. I have been a tutor for about 6 years now, in French and Mathematics. I have helped my students to build the necessary skills that they need to succeed. I show my students how to study effectively. For instance, Mathew who is a former student of mine did not like algebra at all. I showed him how easy it is with 3 effective rules to master in algebra. Read-Follow-Do. Now he is taking calculus and is doing well. My previous experience as a tutor and my daily life as a student has enabled me to develop not only specific skills to be the best tutor, but also to be patient and understanding. This is because I have lived the frustration of not understanding a subject myself. This pushes me to read and go find the help that I need. Living this myself makes me devoted and goal oriented, and motivates me to help my students even more. I want to get my PhD in I.O. in the future and develop more and better skills to be the best tutor that I can ever be.

Ann Marie

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +27 Subjects

My decision to pursue a teaching career is because I have a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of my students. I see teaching as the best way to do this. I also have a strong love for learning and as an educator, having this quality is essential if one is to instill a love for learning in his/her students. I am helping students reach their fullest potential. I am laying the foundation for lifelong learning and achievement and to me that is the greatest job of all.I have taught a wide variety of students in both early childhood and elementary grades in both public and private settings. I have also helped colleagues prepare for different standardized exams such as the GRE, PRAXIS and the New York State teacher examination. My experiences have taught me a lot about what are best practices and how best to implement these best practices. They have taught me the value of being patient and the importance of differentiated instruction.I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Pace University. I also have a Masters in Science in Childhood Education (1-6). In addition, I have a 15-Credit Post Masters in Early Childhood Education (Birth-2nd Grade). I am able to tutor reading (comprehension, phonics); writing (style, grammar); math (number operations, measurement, geometry, problem solving, and number sense); science (biology, health, physiology, astronomy; weather, earth science); and social studies (civic engagement, geography and history).My favorite subjects to tutor are reading, writing and math. As an educator I take the time to get to know my students and what really interests them. I believe this is essential to learning how to best teach the students I am teaching or tutoring. It is important to help make the content relatable and accessible. This means getting to know my students and their learning styles.Outside of academia I enjoy doing yoga, reading, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Adam

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +5 Subjects

Hi, I'm Adam. I'm 29 years old, and have recently moved back to the US from several years of living in Australia. I've had lots of experience doing many things over the years. I've always had a passion for digging into different skills and learning whatever I can get my hands on. I've also always had a knack for taking whatever I've learned and conveying it to new learners easily. I love the experience and process that comes with learning new things, and love to facilitate the excitement of learning & growth in others however I can.Some more personal details and credentials:have a major in Community Health with a focus on Health Education from Texas A&M University, as well as a Minor in Spanish Language. I have lived abroad in Seville, Spain, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and have spent quite a bit of time in Mexico and Costa Rica throughout my life. I currently live in Texas, and am able to practice my Spanish regularly.I have over ten years of guiding youth groups during the summers in team building activities, ropes courses, and other challenging activities. I've worked with groups from ages 4 to 16 years old of all genders and backgrounds, and have experience with special needs and varied learning abilities as well. My last outdoor youth guiding position focused on middle school to high school aged expeditions, team building, rappel/abseil guiding, and overnight survival skills expeditions.I have a long background in emergency and wilderness medicine, and pursuing emergency services and search and rescue focuses is my main goal. I have completed the nationally registered EMT and Wilderness EMT courses, and wish to pursue either a Paramedics or Nursing degree next.I have travelled extensively throughout my life, especially during my twenties, and get extreme enjoyment in absorbing whatever I can about the cultures and languages belonging to wherever I find myself.During my three years in Australia I found myself around a lot of Brazilian friends, so I picked up a decent amount of Portuguese, and am currently starting to teach myself Arabic as well.I adore the outdoors and time spent adventuring in nature. Hiking, bushwhacking, swimming, surfing, climbing, SCUBA diving, wakeboarding, snow skiing, rappelling, ropes courses, cliff jumping, and the list goes on. If it involves being outside and something extreme, challenges me, and gets my heart rate going, I'm there.I have also been around martial arts for most of my life. I have a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a year or so of practice in Krav Maga regarding self defense & urban combatives. I started practicing Muay Thai ago it a year ago, have had one amateur fight, and am currently practicing Muay Thai and jiu jitsu.I have a long standing background in sports shooting and self defense tactics with firearms. I worked in private law enforcement for over a year, and have given private lessons to family and friends in self defense & basic firearms safety training.My longest and most persistent passion has a always been music. I began playing drums at the age of 9, and have been playing ever since. I took music lessons from then on throughout high school. During my years at school I captained my 5A high school drum line, played with strings and full wind orchestras, percussion ensembles, musicals, and solo performances at the Texas state level. Beyond that, I continued to play and teach myself, write and play live performances with various musicians, and have since been in a band for a few years with heavy doses of large live performances, studio recording time, and several tracks on Spotify.As you can see, I've gotten my hands on quite a few things over the years. I am absolutely an open book, so if you have any interests in any of these areas or any questions on my background, teaching styles, or anything at all, so not hesitate to reach out to me!My personal cell phone number is: (817)-964-9402

Kelsey

Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a current undergraduate student pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and Nutrition. Additionally, I have completed Biology and Chemistry at both the Ordinary and Advanced Level as well as Spanish at the Ordinary level and so I mainly tutor Biology, Spanish and Chemistry. During my high school years, I often tutored and assisted my peers and younger sibling with whatever subjects they needed help with. Since I am fairly young, I believe that my tutoring style is more relatable to students younger or the same age as me. Personally, I love Biology and every time I learn something, I become more and more fascinated with how amazing nature is designed. I spend my downtime reading, playing the steelpan and cuddling with my dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Political History focuses specifically on how governments, political systems, and power structures have shaped societies over time. While traditional history covers a broad range of events and cultures, Political History examines the causes and consequences of political decisions, revolutions, policy changes, and leadership. This subject requires students to analyze primary documents, understand ideological conflicts, and trace how political movements influence nations. Personalized tutoring helps students develop these analytical skills by breaking down complex political theories and connecting them to historical events in ways that classroom instruction often can't.

Students often struggle with three main areas: understanding complex political ideologies and how they evolved, managing the volume of dates and events without losing the bigger picture, and developing the critical thinking skills needed to analyze political motivations. Many students also find it challenging to distinguish between primary and secondary sources or to evaluate bias in historical accounts. A tutor can help by creating structured study plans that connect ideas thematically rather than chronologically, teaching document analysis techniques, and guiding students through practice essays that develop their analytical writing skills.

Personalized instruction addresses your specific knowledge gaps rather than teaching to the whole class. A tutor identifies whether you struggle with essay writing, multiple-choice strategy, timeline organization, or understanding cause-and-effect relationships—then focuses on those areas. Research on learning effectiveness shows that 1-on-1 instruction significantly outperforms classroom learning, particularly for complex analytical subjects. With targeted practice on the exact types of questions and prompts you'll encounter, along with immediate feedback on your reasoning, students typically see measurable score improvements on AP exams, state assessments, and college entrance tests.

An excellent Political History tutor combines deep subject knowledge with the ability to make abstract concepts concrete. They should understand not just what happened, but why political decisions were made and what competing interests were at stake. They also need strong teaching skills: the ability to explain complex ideologies clearly, guide students through primary source analysis, help structure essays with clear argumentation, and teach test-taking strategies specific to the subject. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in Political History and a track record of helping students improve their understanding and performance.

Strong Political History essays require clear argumentation supported by specific historical evidence. A tutor can teach you how to craft a thesis that makes a clear claim about political causation, organize body paragraphs around supporting arguments, and use specific examples (dates, events, names, documents) to prove your point rather than making general statements. They'll provide feedback on whether your reasoning is clear, your evidence is relevant, and your conclusions are logically sound. With practice and feedback on multiple essays, you'll develop the skills to quickly analyze prompts and write persuasive responses under timed conditions.

Political History tutoring spans high school through college level. At the high school level, tutors help with courses like AP U.S. History (with its significant political content), AP European History, AP World History, and general U.S. or World History courses. At the college level, tutoring covers upper-level seminars, survey courses, and specialized topics like political theory, American politics, or international relations. Regardless of the specific curriculum, a tutor helps you master the core skills: analyzing primary sources, understanding political ideologies, constructing historical arguments, and connecting individual events to larger political movements and trends.

Getting started is straightforward. You'll connect with Varsity Tutors and describe your goals—whether you're preparing for an AP exam, improving your grade in a current course, or developing stronger analytical skills. We'll match you with a tutor whose expertise aligns with your needs, and you can start personalized instruction right away. Your tutor will assess your current understanding, identify areas for improvement, and create a customized learning plan. You control the schedule and focus areas, so tutoring adapts to your pace and priorities.
