Duncan
College Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Human Geography. Since graduation, I have pursued a Master of Arts degree in Geography at the University of British Columbia, where I served as a teaching assistant for several college courses. After leaving beautiful British Columbia, I moved to Sofia, Bulgaria where I undertook independent research as a Fulbright grantee. When I completed the Fulbright fellowship, I stayed in Bulgaria for the summer, teaching Computer Science at a summer camp for high school students. While my formal studies have focused on geography and the other social sciences, I am passionate about a broad range of subjects including history, math, philosophy, and literature. When tutoring math in preparation for the SAT, I love witnessing the gestalt moment when students realize the solution to a problem. In my spare time, I enjoy reading literature and criticism, swimming and sailing, camping and hiking, and, when I can, travel.
Kashish
College Algebra Tutor • +59 Subjects
I am a student at Brown University pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering. In high school, I took a multitude of AP and college courses, so I am qualified to work with students on challenging material. I took high-level mathematics courses at a local university while in high school and participated in gifted programs as well as internship and research opportunities. My most recent tutoring endeavors include: tutoring math and reading for a variety of grades from K-12 and working for a private tutoring company as an SAT instructor, leading test-prep classes for high school students. I continue to pursue my educational and personal goals while at Brown. Although I am most experienced in the maths and sciences, I also love teaching English subjects as well as social sciences. I also value community involvement and have a love for the arts. I have danced for more than 15 years, on company teams and for benefit events in several communities. I also really enjoying figure skating, swimming, and participating in robotics programs and other enrichment activities. I have a passion for learning about and tutoring the maths and sciences because I have always been curious about the world around us, and science is a process of searching for fundamental and universal principles that govern causes and effects in the universe. I enjoy tutoring students for the opportunity to aid them in their quest for knowledge and to help them to question the world around them. I am a strong proponent of education and am excited to guide other students, helping them achieve their educational goals!

I'm passionate about guiding high schoolers through the college application process. The admissions process is probably one of the most confusing, anxiety-inducing experiences you'll have in high school, but I'm full of ideas for making the entire process as successful and stress-free as possible. I've successfully guided many students through every stage of admissions -- from figuring out where to apply and then staying organized and on-track, to "packaging" themselves and producing a perfect personal statement -- and I love witnessing them achieve their admissions dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find it challenging to connect abstract theoretical frameworks—like cultural diffusion, spatial organization, and political ecology—to real-world examples. Many struggle with distinguishing between similar concepts (e.g., cultural regions vs. formal regions, or gentrification vs. urban renewal) and applying them consistently in essays. Additionally, understanding how human systems interact across scales—from local communities to global supply chains—requires integrating multiple perspectives simultaneously, which can feel overwhelming without structured guidance.
The key is practicing case study analysis where you take a real geographical phenomenon and deliberately apply different theoretical lenses to explain it. For example, analyzing gentrification in a specific neighborhood using cultural geography, economic geography, and political ecology frameworks shows how the same event can be understood through multiple angles. A tutor can guide you through this process—starting with identifying which theories are relevant, then structuring evidence-based arguments that show *why* a particular theory explains the pattern better than alternatives, rather than just listing what the theories say.
Human geographers use mixed methods—qualitative interviews, ethnographic observation, surveys, GIS mapping, and statistical analysis—often in combination. When reading empirical studies or designing your own research projects, you need to evaluate whether the method matches the research question, whether sample sizes are adequate, and whether findings are generalizable or context-specific. A common pitfall is confusing correlation with causation; for instance, finding that areas with high poverty also have poor health outcomes doesn't prove poverty *causes* poor health without controlling for other variables like access to healthcare or environmental factors.
Strong Human Geography writing requires grounding claims in specific evidence—whether that's census data, interview quotes, case studies, or peer-reviewed research. Rather than writing "globalization affects local cultures," effective arguments specify *how* (through labor migration, media consumption, commodity chains) and *where* (particular regions or communities), then support each claim with concrete examples. Tutoring helps you structure arguments so evidence directly supports your thesis, avoid overgeneralizations, and acknowledge counterarguments or regional variation—all hallmarks of college-level geographic analysis.
Human Geography emphasizes that processes operate simultaneously at local, regional, national, and global scales—and these scales interact in complex ways. For example, a local housing shortage connects to national immigration policy, regional real estate markets, and global capital flows. Students often struggle to hold all these scales in mind and explain how they're connected. Tutoring helps you develop frameworks for scale analysis: identifying which scale is most relevant to your research question, tracing how processes move between scales, and avoiding the trap of explaining everything at just one level.
Human geographers recognize that all research is conducted from a particular perspective shaped by the researcher's identity, location, and values. This "positionality" can influence which questions get asked, how communities are represented, and whose voices are centered or marginalized. When analyzing geographical phenomena or reading studies, you should ask: Who conducted this research? Whose perspectives are included or excluded? What assumptions underlie the framework? Tutoring helps you develop critical awareness of these issues so you can construct more rigorous, ethical arguments and recognize potential biases in your own thinking.
AP Human Geography emphasizes applying concepts to unfamiliar scenarios, interpreting maps and data, and writing evidence-based short and long essays. Students need to move beyond definitions to explain *why* patterns exist and *how* they connect to broader themes like development, cultural identity, or environmental sustainability. The exam rewards precise geographic vocabulary, specific examples from different world regions, and the ability to analyze causation rather than just describe phenomena. Tutoring focuses on building these skills through practice with released exams, map interpretation, and structured essay writing that meets College Board rubrics.
An effective Human Geography tutor understands not just content but how geographers *think*—they can model how to analyze a landscape, interpret spatial patterns, and construct arguments using geographic frameworks. They should be able to explain complex theories clearly, help you practice applying them to new cases, and give specific feedback on your writing and reasoning. Look for someone who can connect abstract concepts to real-world examples, help you develop critical thinking about representation and bias, and guide you through research methods and evidence evaluation, not just review notes with you.
