Amy
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have a B.A. in French and a diploma in Business French from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris. I also speak Greek, Italian, and Spanish.I have worked as a private tutor in the area of foreign languages, essay writing, and a variety of other subjects for more than a decade. In that time, I have witnessed the difficulties many students have when learning something that seems unfamiliar, uninteresting, or just makes no sense. Seeing this, I believe it is my responsibility to be a positive influence by ensuring that all my students do well and understand the material. For example, with French, I always give them a brief English grammar lesson beforehand which helps tremendously boost their confidence level as the foreign gradually becomes familiar.I am truly excited about working with students and encouraging them to excel. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a student conquer his/her fears and expressing him/herself in a way he/she never thought possible. I work with each student’s specific needs in a patient yet firm manner. I also exhibit determination, empathy, and humor to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Most importantly, I am personable and understanding and believe that brings me closer to helping my students.In my free time, I love cooking Mediterranean/Greek cuisine and would love to open a restaurant one day. I also write poetry, short stories, etc. and am currently working on my first novel. Lastly, I adore knitting and crocheting cute, fashionable clothes and accessories for girls.
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.

Anna
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find it challenging to distinguish between the causes of the Civil War and the factors that led to the Glorious Revolution—these are frequently conflated. Another common struggle is understanding the ideological shifts: grasping why Parliament's power increased while also tracking how religious conflict (Anglican vs. Puritan vs. Catholic tensions) shaped political outcomes. Many students also wrestle with analyzing primary sources from the period—interpreting manifestos, parliamentary documents, and personal accounts requires understanding both the explicit arguments and the underlying assumptions about monarchy, rights, and religious authority. A tutor can help you build a coherent narrative that connects these threads rather than treating them as isolated facts.
This is critical for strong historical analysis. For example, economic hardship and religious conflict both existed before 1640, but did they *cause* the Civil War, or were they conditions that made conflict more likely? A tutor helps you ask: What evidence shows direct causation (not just timing)? Did contemporaries explicitly connect these factors? What alternative explanations existed? When analyzing sources, you'll learn to identify when historians are making causal claims versus describing correlations—and to evaluate whether the evidence actually supports those claims. This skill directly strengthens argumentative essays where you need to defend *why* something happened, not just show that multiple factors were present.
Effective analysis requires understanding the source's context, audience, and purpose—not just its content. For instance, a Royalist pamphlet and a Parliamentary petition from the same year will present contradictory claims about the same events. A tutor guides you to ask: Who wrote this and why? What was their stake in the outcome? What assumptions about government, religion, or rights underlie their argument? You'll learn to identify rhetorical strategies (fear appeals, religious justification, claims about tradition) and recognize how language itself reveals ideological positions. This analytical framework transforms primary sources from confusing historical documents into evidence you can use to construct your own arguments about causation and change.
Students often see the English Revolution as one event, but historians debate whether it's one continuous process (1640–1660) or multiple distinct phases: the Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration. A tutor helps you understand why periodization matters—different historians emphasize different endpoints and turning points depending on whether they're focused on political, religious, or social change. Learning to recognize these debates trains you to see that history isn't a fixed narrative but an interpretation based on evidence and emphasis. You'll develop the critical thinking skill of asking: *Why* does this historian divide the period this way? What does that choice reveal about what they think was most important?
Strong arguments require more than listing factors—you need to show *how* your evidence supports your specific claim. For example, if you argue that religious conflict was the primary cause of the Civil War, you can't just cite religious tensions; you need evidence that religious issues *directly motivated* key actors' decisions, and you need to address why other factors (economic, political) were secondary. A tutor teaches you to build this structure: state your claim clearly, present evidence (primary and secondary sources), explain how that evidence supports your claim, and acknowledge counterarguments. You'll practice distinguishing between strong evidence (specific actions, documented motivations, contemporary statements) and weak evidence (general conditions that many societies experienced). This approach works for essays, document-based questions, and AP-level analysis.
The Revolution involved clashing visions of monarchy, Parliament, religious authority, and individual rights—and these weren't modern concepts. A tutor helps you understand how 17th-century thinkers like Hobbes, Locke, and contemporary pamphleteers were *inventing* political language to justify their positions. Rather than memorizing "divine right" or "natural rights" as static definitions, you'll learn how these ideas emerged from specific conflicts and were weaponized in arguments. For instance, Parliamentarians invoked ancient English liberties (a historical claim) while Royalists defended monarchy as divinely ordained (a theological claim)—understanding *why* each side chose these frameworks reveals the underlying stakes. This analytical approach helps you see how ideology functions as both cause and consequence, deepening your understanding of how the Revolution reshaped English political thought.
Many students focus heavily on the Civil War and Cromwell's Commonwealth, then treat the Restoration as a simple "return to normal." In reality, the Restoration period (1660–1688) involved ongoing religious conflict, economic challenges, and constitutional questions that ultimately led to the Glorious Revolution. A tutor helps you see that the Restoration wasn't a reset—it was a continuation of unresolved tensions about religious settlement, parliamentary power, and the limits of royal authority. Understanding the Restoration as part of a longer process of institutional change (rather than a separate event) strengthens your ability to analyze how revolutionary change actually unfolds: through conflict, compromise, and often incomplete resolution. This perspective is especially valuable for essays asking about long-term consequences or the Revolution's legacy.
Every source—whether a contemporary pamphlet or a modern historian's book—reflects the author's perspective and stakes. A tutor teaches you to ask systematically: What does this author gain from their interpretation? What evidence do they emphasize or omit? What assumptions about society, religion, or government underlie their claims? For example, 19th-century historians often portrayed the Revolution as inevitable progress toward democracy, while modern historians question that narrative and examine social upheaval, religious trauma, and the Revolution's limits. Learning to recognize these interpretive patterns helps you avoid simply absorbing one version of events. You'll develop the critical thinking skill of reading *against* sources—understanding what they reveal about their authors' biases—which strengthens your ability to construct nuanced, evidence-based arguments rather than repeating received interpretations.
