Gabrielle
AP Biology Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am recent graduate of Binghamton University, with a Bachelor of Sciences in Biology. I am deeply committed to the value of education, and believe that learning is a gift and an opportunity for growth that should be available to everyone. For this reason, I am passionate about tutoring and helping students, so that everyone is able to not only do well in school, but to fall in love with learning in the process. Anyone can enrich themselves through learning. This is the foundation of my teaching philosophy: in addition to emphasizing results and academic achievement, I believe it is integral to find an individual approach to each student and to focus first and foremost on teaching students to study in a way that is effective and engaging. I tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in all subjects. In my free time, I like to go running, practice dance, learn new languages, and play ping-pong.

ACT Writing Tutor • +27 Subjects
I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.
Catherine
Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects
Hello! My name is Catherine Raj and I am a second-year medical student at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience in 2022. Since 2015, I have tutored children from ages 3-16 in areas of math and reading, as well as their school curriculum. Apart from tutoring here, I have worked for the Kumon Learning Center as a teaching instructor for 5 years. While I am certified to tutor a broad range of subjects, I have years of experience with tutoring young children in math and reading, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, phonics, reading comprehension, and much more. I connect with elementary and middle school students very well, as I believe in understanding children in order to give them a fulfilling tutoring experience. I also very much enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra as those are my favorite math subjects, as well as my best! My students and I have always had a deeper level of understanding beyond the books and I pride my style of teaching on that aspect.

Chester
Creative Writing Tutor • +18 Subjects
I love English, and good writing. Since I like working one-or-one or with a small group, tutoring is a great way for me to help young people communicate more effectively in writing. As a social scientist, I also like to talking about statistics and social science. I like to teach by example and ask lots of questions so students can discover answers themselves. When not working, I like to watch movies, exercise, and write science fiction.
Maria
ACT Prep Tutor • +15 Subjects
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Denison University. I am currently pursuing an M.D. at Case Western Reserve University. I've been a college-level teaching assistant for both introductory biology and general chemistry. Besides chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring for test prep (ACT and MCAT) because I view these types of tests to be a collection of puzzles to solve. It's a lot of fun helping students to figure out the logic behind these puzzles and apply it broadly, and it's incredibly rewarding to see this integration of knowledge translate to a high score. When working with students, I like to challenge them to identify the purpose of the problem or question and what underlying reasoning can be applied broadly in future questions. In doing so, students gain more long-term usable skills and the ability to think independently.

Theo
ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a current undergraduate student at Columbia University in New York City, pursuing a Bachelors of Arts in History and Economics. These are two of the subjects that I enjoy tutoring the most, but I also have a penchant for tutoring and learning about math and literature. I am passionate about tutoring because I benefited from the personalized guidance of great tutors in my past and I really enjoy seeing students push themselves and develop an appreciation for subject areas or even the mental exercise of test-taking thanks to tutoring. I also believe that tutoring a subject area is the greatest way to maintain and develop understanding of its material for both the student and the tutor. I was an active tutor in high school in mathematics and history and as I take more classes in college, I look forward to tutoring students in those in which I understood the material really well. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about history, camping, biking, and traveling when I can (or exploring the incredible city of New York)!

Frequently Asked Questions
12th Grade Geography students often struggle with synthesizing human and physical systems—particularly understanding how geopolitical conflicts, resource distribution, and climate patterns interconnect. Many students find it challenging to move beyond memorizing capitals and borders to analyze why certain regions develop differently, how migration patterns shape economies, or how to evaluate competing geopolitical theories. Additionally, interpreting complex maps, spatial data, and geographic information systems (GIS) can be difficult without guided practice, as can constructing evidence-based arguments about contentious topics like development inequality, environmental sustainability, or cultural geography using real-world case studies.
A strong tutor helps you move beyond memorizing theorists like Wallerstein, Rostow, or Soja by teaching you to recognize which frameworks apply to specific regional problems. For example, understanding when world-systems theory explains economic disparities versus when dependency theory or institutional approaches are more useful requires practice analyzing case studies—whether that's explaining development patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asian urbanization, or Middle Eastern resource conflicts. Tutors guide you through the analytical process: identifying which geographic factors matter most, evaluating competing explanations, and constructing arguments supported by specific evidence rather than vague generalizations.
12th Grade Geography often requires you to read and evaluate how geographers actually conduct research—whether through fieldwork, statistical analysis, or qualitative case studies. A tutor can teach you to ask critical questions: Is the sample size adequate? Are there geographic biases in the data collection? How do researchers account for scale (local vs. global patterns)? Understanding spatial analysis, correlation versus causation in geographic data, and how GIS mapping can both reveal and obscure patterns helps you evaluate sources more critically. This skill is especially important when analyzing studies about migration, urbanization, or environmental change, where methodology directly affects conclusions.
Geography writing requires more than opinion—it demands specific geographic evidence: data from credible sources, case studies from particular regions, maps or spatial patterns that support your argument, and acknowledgment of geographic scale and context. For example, a strong essay on climate change and development doesn't just assert that poor nations suffer most; it analyzes specific regions (Bangladesh's flooding, Sahel drought patterns), explains the geographic mechanisms at work, and addresses counterarguments. Tutors help you structure arguments around geographic questions: Why did urbanization happen differently in East Asia versus Latin America? What geographic factors explain these patterns? How do you support claims with maps, statistics, or documented case studies rather than generalizations?
Geography is inherently political—how regions are represented, whose voices are centered, and which narratives dominate all reflect bias. A tutor helps you develop critical awareness: recognizing when Western development models are presented as universal rather than culturally specific, identifying how maps can reinforce power structures (Mercator projections, for example), and understanding how geopolitical conflicts are framed differently depending on the source. You'll learn to ask: Who created this map or analysis? What geographic interests or assumptions underlie it? How might people from that region describe their own geography differently? This skill is crucial for essays on postcolonial geography, cultural representation, or geopolitical analysis.
Strong spatial thinking—understanding how places relate to each other across different scales—is fundamental to Geography but doesn't come naturally to all students. A tutor can teach you systematic approaches: reading thematic maps to identify patterns, understanding map projections and their distortions, analyzing spatial data to spot clusters or anomalies, and connecting local phenomena to regional and global contexts. Practice with real geographic tools like interpreting choropleth maps of development indicators, analyzing migration flow maps, or using satellite imagery to understand urbanization helps you move from passive map-reading to active spatial analysis. This skill directly supports essays, projects, and exams that require you to explain geographic patterns.
If you're taking or planning to take AP Human Geography, tutoring can help you master the course's emphasis on analytical thinking over memorization. AP exams require you to apply geographic concepts to unfamiliar case studies, construct multi-part arguments about human-environment interaction, and analyze spatial patterns across scales. A tutor familiar with AP expectations helps you practice the specific skills tested: interpreting complex maps and data, explaining causation in geographic phenomena, evaluating competing theories, and writing evidence-based responses under time pressure. Even for standard 12th Grade Geography, developing these analytical habits prepares you for college-level work in geography, environmental studies, international relations, or related fields.
An effective Geography tutor understands both physical systems (climate, landforms, ecosystems) and human systems (economics, politics, culture) and can help you see how they interact. They should be able to explain geographic concepts clearly, guide you through analyzing case studies and primary sources, help you construct evidence-based arguments, and teach you to think critically about geographic bias and representation. Look for someone who can work with maps and spatial data, understands research methods in geography, and can connect abstract theories to real-world examples. Ideally, they're experienced helping students move beyond memorization to genuine geographic analysis—the kind of thinking that matters for both exams and understanding our complex world.
