...making it relevant, not simply on a global level, but on an individual one as well. This means not only asking the question, "How is this idea relevant to the modern day?" but also to pose to your student, "How is this relevant to you, to your individual life?" When one does the latter, one not only cultivates an intellect, but cultivates a relationship as well, and that is key to effective pedagogy.

High School Political Science Tutoring FAQ
If you've ever watched a 24/7 news network, you've probably asked yourself, "Why does government work that way?" High school political science is the course designed to teach American students how our government works, frequently borrowing examples from current political discourse in order to do so. If you or your child are having a hard time following the debate, Varsity Tutors can set you up with an experienced high school political science tutor to help you pursue academic success.
Here are some of the core concepts you may review during high school political science tutoring sessions:
How the framers of the Constitution intended government to work
The three branches of government (checks and balances)
How a bill becomes a law
The impacts of the two-party system
Landmark Supreme Court decisions
The role of media in politics
The Voter Registration process (potentially including your own registration)
Many of these topics appear dry at a glance, but your high school political science tutor may be able to make it more interesting. They have the time to really get to know you, allowing them to incorporate your passions into study sessions. For example, a student who is passionate about a particular political cause may benefit from using its history to illustrate how government works. Viewed this way, every Congressional victory, judicial setback, and publicized protest becomes a valuable learning opportunity.
High school political science tutoring sessions also allow you to pick up useful academic skills. For instance, most civics courses incorporate a writing assignment where students are required to take a stand on a given issue and support their position in an argumentative essay. Many students struggle with this, but a private tutor can show you how to outline your thoughts: including all of the evidence you intend to use to make your point. This can make it much easier to convert feelings into words on the page.
If you have a hard time concentrating on social studies, high school political science tutoring sessions may make it easier. A one-on-one learning environment ensures that no other students are in the room, eliminating one potential distraction. You may also select how much background noise you want to make it easier to focus. Finally, your smartphone can be turned off for the duration of your session.
If you've reached this page by searching for "high school political science tutoring near me," your search engine of choice has performed admirably. Varsity Tutors specializes in helping students and their parents connect with expert tutors and work toward their academic goals.
