Gregory
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am passionate about helping secondary and post-secondary students to read texts carefully, to make arguments cogently, and to tell a story about themselves, the world around them, and the things that are important in their lives. I believe that the humanities really do help us be more human with each other and in our world. I teach and tutor with the assumption that school is a set of practices that anyone can learn and that, when they engage those practices diligently, students gain empathy and critical thinking skills that are transferable to all of their endeavors.

Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a graduate of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on European history and the history of religion. I am extremely passionate about history and writing, and I have enjoyed tutoring students in these subjects for over five years. I began my journey as an educator in 2017, when I taught lessons about human rights and the history of religion to high school students in the San Francisco Bay Area. I continued honing my educational skills at Carleton, where I worked as a tutor and mentor for students with learning differences. I used my deep knowledge of history and writing to help students proofread their essays, study for humanities courses, and teach them important executive functioning and study skills to help them succeed in college. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to form empathic and intentional connections with my students. By learning more about their educational backgrounds and understanding their goals, I become a better mentor who will more effectively guide them through their studies. When I am not tutoring, I like to hike, kayak, read, write, and research my family's history.

I am a Senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Mechanical and Robotics Engineering. I am here to help with any Math, Science, Engineering or other tutoring needs. My main approach is to focus on mastery over work pace. I encourage my students to strive for perfection on the basic material, before moving to the hard stuff. That way you won't only "kinda know" two things, but truly understand the material. Outside of class I enjoy, hiking, playing the saxophone, cooking and building robots.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often struggle with understanding the interconnection between historical events and constitutional principles, as well as interpreting primary documents like the Constitution and Federalist Papers. Many find it difficult to grasp how constitutional interpretation has evolved over time, or to distinguish between the framers' original intent and modern applications. Additionally, students sometimes memorize dates and facts without understanding the underlying political philosophies and debates that shaped the Constitution. Personalized tutoring helps bridge these gaps by breaking down complex concepts, connecting historical context to constitutional principles, and building analytical skills through guided practice with primary sources.
Constitutional History is typically taught as part of US History courses (grades 8-12) and features prominently in AP US History, AP Government & Politics, and college-level History and Political Science programs. High school students usually encounter foundational concepts like the Constitution's structure, the three branches of government, and key Supreme Court cases. College students and AP candidates dive deeper into constitutional interpretation, the amendment process, and how the Constitution has been applied to contemporary issues. Tutors can tailor instruction to your specific course requirements, whether you're building foundational knowledge or preparing for standardized exams that emphasize constitutional analysis.
Great tutors combine deep knowledge of constitutional law and American history with the ability to make abstract concepts concrete and engaging. They excel at asking questions that push students to think critically about primary sources, to trace how constitutional principles apply across different time periods, and to construct well-reasoned arguments about complex issues like federalism or individual rights. Effective tutors also diagnose whether a student's struggles stem from content gaps, weak analysis skills, or test-taking anxiety—and adapt their approach accordingly. When you connect with a tutor through Varsity Tutors, you'll work with someone who understands both the subject matter and how to help you develop the deeper understanding that leads to genuine improvement.
With consistent, focused instruction, students typically develop stronger analytical and writing skills—particularly the ability to construct evidence-based arguments about constitutional interpretation and historical causation. You'll gain confidence reading and interpreting primary documents, recognizing patterns in how constitutional principles have been applied across different eras, and connecting specific cases or amendments to broader themes. For students preparing for AP exams or college courses, tutoring often leads to measurable improvement in essay scores and multiple-choice performance, especially on questions requiring nuanced understanding rather than simple recall. Most importantly, you'll develop the critical thinking skills that help you engage meaningfully with complex constitutional questions rather than simply memorizing facts.
In a classroom setting, teachers must move at a pace that serves the entire group, which often means less time for students to wrestle with difficult concepts or to explore their individual questions in depth. Personalized tutoring allows you to slow down on topics that challenge you—whether that's understanding the Federalist Papers' arguments, analyzing a Supreme Court decision, or connecting constitutional principles across historical periods. A tutor can also tailor examples and discussion to your interests and learning style, use Socratic questioning to deepen your thinking rather than simply providing answers, and provide immediate feedback on your writing or analysis. This focused, adaptive approach is why research consistently shows that 1-on-1 instruction significantly accelerates learning compared to group settings.
Primary sources—the Constitution itself, Supreme Court opinions, founding-era documents, and speeches—are the raw materials of constitutional history. Learning to read these documents closely, understand their historical context, and extract meaning from them is essential for success in advanced courses and exams like the AP. Many students find primary source analysis intimidating because these texts use unfamiliar language and assume historical knowledge they don't yet have. A tutor can guide you through this process by teaching you how to break down difficult passages, ask productive questions about authorial intent and audience, and connect specific documents to larger historical debates. Over time, this builds confidence and the analytical skills you need to handle any primary source independently.
Yes—tutors experienced in AP US History, AP Government & Politics, or college-level history courses understand exactly what those exams require and can structure your preparation accordingly. They'll help you master the content knowledge, but equally important, they'll teach you the specific analytical and writing skills the exams assess: crafting evidence-based arguments, comparing historical periods, and explaining how constitutional principles shaped policy decisions. A tutor can also diagnose your weaknesses through practice essays and multiple-choice questions, then target instruction where you need it most. Rather than generic test prep, you get customized preparation that builds both your understanding and your test-taking confidence.
