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.

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
Students often find it challenging to synthesize connections across different regions and time periods—for example, understanding how imperialism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America were interconnected, or how Cold War tensions manifested differently in various countries. Many also struggle with causation versus correlation when analyzing historical events; they might memorize that two things happened around the same time but lack the analytical framework to explain why one caused the other. Additionally, students frequently underestimate the complexity of non-Western perspectives and histories, defaulting to Eurocentric narratives. A tutor experienced in Global History can help you develop the critical thinking skills to move beyond memorization and build evidence-based arguments that connect micro-level events to macro-level historical patterns.
Rather than drilling dates and names, expert tutors focus on teaching you to recognize patterns—like how different civilizations responded to similar challenges, or how power structures evolved across regions. They help you practice applying historical theories (like world-systems analysis or postcolonial frameworks) to specific case studies, which deepens retention and prepares you for essay questions that demand synthesis. Tutors also teach you to evaluate primary and secondary sources critically, asking whose perspective is represented, what evidence supports claims, and what biases might be present. This approach transforms Global History from a collection of isolated facts into an interconnected narrative you can analyze and defend with evidence.
Global History essays require you to construct arguments that connect evidence from multiple regions and time periods—a skill that takes practice. Tutors help you move beyond summary by teaching you to develop a clear thesis that makes a specific claim about causation or comparison, then select and organize evidence strategically to support it. They also help you distinguish between correlation and causation, which is critical when analyzing historical events; for example, recognizing that industrialization and imperialism occurred simultaneously doesn't mean one caused the other without examining the mechanisms. Through guided practice with argumentative essays, comparative analyses, and policy-oriented writing, you'll develop the ability to construct evidence-based arguments that demonstrate genuine historical thinking rather than surface-level understanding.
A key part of Global History is learning to recognize and challenge Eurocentric narratives that dominate traditional textbooks. Expert tutors actively teach you to seek out and analyze primary sources from non-Western voices—letters, speeches, economic data, and cultural artifacts that reveal how people in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America experienced and shaped major historical events. They help you understand concepts like decolonization, indigenous resistance, and alternative modernities on their own terms rather than as responses to Western dominance. By practicing this skill with your tutor through document analysis and comparative case studies, you'll develop the critical awareness needed to construct more nuanced, inclusive historical arguments that earn higher grades and demonstrate genuine historical literacy.
Reading primary sources effectively requires you to ask strategic questions: Who created this document and for what audience? What was their perspective and potential bias? What does it reveal about the time period, and what does it omit? Tutors teach you to move beyond surface-level comprehension to deeper analysis—recognizing that a colonial administrator's report, a resistance fighter's manifesto, and an economic ledger all tell different but equally valuable stories about the same historical moment. You'll practice identifying patterns across multiple sources, distinguishing between explicit claims and implicit assumptions, and using evidence from primary sources to support historical arguments. This skill is essential for both essay writing and exams, and it's where many students gain significant improvement with targeted tutoring.
Comparative analysis—identifying similarities and differences between historical events, societies, or processes across regions—is a core Global History skill that many students find difficult. Tutors help you develop a systematic approach: start by identifying the specific factors you're comparing (economic systems, political structures, cultural values), then examine how they functioned in each context before drawing conclusions about what was similar and what was distinct. For example, comparing industrialization in Britain, Japan, and India requires understanding not just the economic changes but also the political, social, and cultural contexts that shaped each process differently. Through guided practice with structured comparison charts, Venn diagrams, and essay writing, you'll build confidence in making nuanced comparative arguments that demonstrate sophisticated historical thinking rather than superficial parallels.
Global History exams—whether state assessments, AP World History, or IB History—demand more than factual recall; they require you to synthesize information and construct arguments under time pressure. Tutors help you develop efficient strategies for essay questions: quickly identifying what the prompt is asking, brainstorming relevant examples from multiple regions and time periods, and organizing your response to make a clear argument with supporting evidence. They also teach you to practice timed writing so you can produce coherent, evidence-based essays within exam constraints. Additionally, tutors help you review thematic connections across units—how trade networks, technological change, or ideological movements shaped multiple regions—so you can draw on a deep, interconnected knowledge base rather than isolated facts. This targeted preparation significantly improves both your confidence and your performance on complex, synthesis-heavy exams.
Look for tutors with deep knowledge of world history across multiple regions and time periods, not just Western history. They should be skilled at teaching historical thinking—how to analyze sources, construct arguments, and recognize bias—rather than just delivering facts. Experience teaching or tutoring AP World History, IB History, or similar advanced courses is valuable, as is familiarity with how different educational standards approach Global History. Additionally, strong tutors understand the pedagogical challenges specific to this subject: they can explain causation clearly, help students develop analytical frameworks, and teach strategies for synthesizing information across vast time spans and geographic areas. When connecting with a tutor, ask about their experience with the specific skills and content your course emphasizes.
