English Tutor • +10 Subjects

I have the Master of Arts degree from Pepperdine University. From my under- graduate college days on, I have taught ages from older elementary through older adults in one-on-one, class room, camp, auditorium and church settings. These presentations have also taken place during hosting a 21-day Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Greek Isles Tour and 7-day tour to Brazil. In addition to Brazil I instructed through a translator for 1 month of college in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and on various occasions in Mexico and the Navajo Reservation in the SW U.S.A.In summary, I have served in leadership roles with various non-profit boards where skills were developed in interpersonal communications. I have conducted well over 50 special event activities in 11 states and 4 foreign countries, with over 2500 participants, as well as consulting on many topics for churches and businesses.With my education, ministerial, college instructing, non-profit and life experiences, I am looking forward to those who would be interested in any of a broad range of subjects, including but not limited to those I am most excited about: History, Social Studies, Ethics, World Religions, Religion, and Theology.Believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, I am a proponent of not only education but of continuing education. Some of my continuing education included: Marriage Preparation and Enrichment certification, Managing Conflict seminars and workshops, special faculty training from University of Phoenix and many other professional, specialty training workshops. I trust this enthusiasm and appreciation will be imparted to all of my students.In my spare time, I enjoy family time, reading, an active church participation and some sports, all which enriches my life!

Elsbeth

Biology Tutor • +6 Subjects

I recently graduated from Indiana University (IU) with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Life Sciences with a concentration in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Gender Studies. While I was at IU, I was a teacher's assistant (TA) for Molecular Biology. While this can be a difficult subject, I loved being able to explain the intricacies of it to students during office hours. I was also a member of Alpha Chi Sigma, a professional chemistry fraternity, for three years; we provided free Chemistry tutoring once a week and helped students with test prep. My favorite job I've ever had was as at an IU summer program for freshmen, where I was a TA for a class about feminist and psychoanalytic film analysis of horror movies. I absolutely loved working with my students and introducing them to the new, weird world of horror movie analysis. Currently, I tutor for Biology, History, English, and Social Studies. I'm very excited about this opportunity to be a tutor because I know what it's like to struggle in a class, and I wish I would have reached out to a tutor myself. It's so important for students to have the resources they need to succeed in and even enjoy their education. My hope is that through tutoring, I can show students another way of looking at the subject. In my spare time, I've been devouring audiobooks and podcasts about history, race, gender, and colonialism while I play Pokemon on my Switch.

Greetings! I am an instructor of writing at Northeastern University. American literature and culture is my passion and my specialty area. I am also an experienced researcher and academic writer. In the spring of 2016 I finished my PhD in English at Northeastern University, and since then I have been teaching college writing courses and tutoring international students, mostly from China, Korea, and Russia. Working with students to help them succeed in the areas of literature, cultural studies, writing, and grammar brings me great joy. There is nothing better, and more fulfilling than helping others find success.

Melissa

Academic Coaching Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am a 2016 graduate of the University of Southern Maine. I have my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a Minor in English. I was selected to be the student commencement speaker for my graduating class and have additional experience with public speaking and group facilitation. I graduated at the top of my economics department while in undergrad and served as a teacher's assistant (TA) for two of my economics professors while in school. I was also a part of the women's outdoor track and field team and was co-chair of multiple student groups on campus. I tutored my classmates in English, writing, public speaking, economics, and business primarily but have assisted with other subjects as well, such as statistics.I truly enjoy working with students as it is most rewarding to help students reach their full academic potential, which is not always realized in a classroom setting alone. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring writing because good writing is truly foundational and essential in so many areas of life. I also enjoy teaching students good study habits and organizational techniques that are conducive to greater learning and set students up for higher academic achievement and success. I would describe my teaching style as focused and collaborative, but also casual so as to make my students feel like they can ask questions at any time throughout the learning process. One of my overarching goals with tutoring is to inspire student interest in subjects that have been troublesome to them, because oftentimes it is not the subject itself, but how the subject is taught that can inspire interest.

Casey

College English Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a graduate of Ripon College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Spanish Language and Literature with high honors. I have four years of experience tutoring both Spanish and English. Since graduation I have spent the last two years living in Spain where I taught and tutored private English classes. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I am passionate about the language and about helping students understand and master its intricacies. I am an avid proponent of education because I believe that an enriched education is key to both personal and professional success. I believe that a tutor is a bridge between the student's potential and the subject matter. I believe in helping students become independent learners by fostering critical thinking skills through asking questions, presenting the information in a new light and encouraging them to feel confident and inspired while learning. In my spare time I enjoy enriching my body and mind through reading, hiking, dancing and traveling.

I am currently working towards a BS in Music Education at Case Western Reserve University. In the past I have worked with middle school orchestra students at an arts summer camp, where I was a volunteer Teacher's Assistant. During this camp I ran sectionals with small groups of students and sat in with the violinists to help individual students in large group rehearsals. I have some tutoring and organization experience by working with my high school's chapter of the California Scholarship Federation, where we offered free tutoring to other high school students. I am most passionate about tutoring algebra and pre-calculus, because I really enjoy the problem-solving aspects of math. I also tutor English and SAT prep. In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and practicing as many different instruments as I can get my hands on!

Kimberla

Elementary School Tutor • +24 Subjects

I knew I wanted to teach by the third grade. I went into teaching right after high school and graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education four years later. I eventually acquired a Masters in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College. I've taught grades K-6 as a full time classroom teacher in Michigan, Arkansas, and Texas. I've taught online to Ohio and two different countries. I worked as a math specialist for two years of my career. I've also worked as a scorer for standardized tests in math and writing. I opened my own daycare and tutoring services (Mrs. Teacher's Tutoring Lab) while raising my own little one. Therefore, I've been involved in all aspects of education and enjoyed every bit of it. I've developed a lot of skills over the years to close learning gaps, enhance the high achiever, and help the average student reach new goals; so that all can have a pleasant and interesting learning experience. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often find the chronological complexity of Indian history challenging—particularly distinguishing between major periods like the Vedic Age, Maurya and Gupta empires, the Mughal era, and British colonial rule. The intersection of multiple simultaneous regional kingdoms and dynasties can blur together without proper framework. Additionally, students struggle with understanding causation in major transitions: why the Mughal empire declined, what factors led to Indian independence, and how caste systems evolved across different time periods. Tutoring helps students build mental timelines and understand the interconnected political, economic, and social forces driving historical change rather than memorizing isolated dates and events.

Strong primary source analysis requires understanding the author's perspective, historical context, and intended audience—especially important in Indian history where sources range from Sanskrit texts like the Rigveda to Mughal court records to British colonial documents. Students should ask: Who created this source and why? What biases might they have? What does this reveal about the society, economy, or politics of that era? For example, analyzing a Mughal emperor's decree requires understanding both imperial intentions and how they were actually implemented across diverse regions. Tutors help students move beyond surface-level reading to construct evidence-based arguments about what primary sources reveal about Indian society, rather than treating them as simple factual records.

Indian history is often taught as a national narrative, but this obscures the reality that regions like South India, Bengal, Gujarat, and the Deccan had distinct political systems, trade networks, and cultural developments. Students frequently miss that the Chola empire's maritime trade networks or the Vijayanagara empire's regional power operated independently of North Indian dynasties. This regional lens is critical for understanding why British colonization happened differently across India, why independence movements varied by region, and how modern India's diversity stems from centuries of distinct regional histories. Tutors help students synthesize multiple regional perspectives into a coherent understanding rather than defaulting to a North India-centric view.

A common mistake is assuming that because two events occurred near the same time, one caused the other. For instance, students might correlate the arrival of British traders with the decline of Indian textile production, but causation requires understanding the specific mechanisms: how British policies like tariffs and raw material extraction actually disrupted Indian manufacturing. Similarly, explaining the fall of the Mughal empire requires identifying causal factors (administrative fragmentation, economic strain, regional rebellions) rather than just listing events that happened during that period. Tutors teach students to construct causal chains with evidence, ask "how" and "why" questions systematically, and recognize when correlation alone is insufficient for historical explanation.

Indian history is contested terrain—historians disagree fundamentally on topics like the nature of caste in ancient India, whether British rule was exploitative or modernizing, and how to characterize Hindu-Muslim relations across centuries. For example, some scholars emphasize continuity in Indian civilization while others stress rupture and transformation; interpretations of Mughal rule range from seeing it as a synthesis of Hindu and Islamic cultures to viewing it as foreign domination. Understanding these historiographical debates teaches students that history isn't a fixed set of facts but an interpretation of evidence shaped by historians' questions and frameworks. Tutors help students evaluate competing interpretations, understand what evidence each side emphasizes, and develop their own evidence-based arguments rather than accepting a single "correct" narrative.

Descriptive essays summarize what happened (e.g., "The British established colonial rule in India"), while analytical essays explain why and how with evidence (e.g., "British military technology and strategic alliances with regional rulers enabled colonization, but Indian resistance movements reveal how colonialism was contested and reshaped by Indian agency"). Strong analytical essays in Indian history make an argument about causation, periodization, or interpretation—not just narrate events. They use specific examples (the 1857 Rebellion, the Salt March, regional trade patterns) as evidence for broader claims about Indian society, economy, or politics. Tutors help students move beyond plot summary to construct thesis-driven arguments that grapple with complexity and use primary and secondary sources strategically.

Thematic analysis helps students see Indian history as more than disconnected periods. For example, tracing the evolution of trade networks from Vedic times through the Maurya and Gupta empires to the Mughal era to British colonialism reveals how commerce shaped Indian society across millennia. Similarly, examining how caste systems functioned differently under Vedic, Mughal, and colonial rule, or how regional kingdoms balanced centralization with local autonomy, creates coherent frameworks for understanding change. Students who identify themes like trade, religious diversity, political fragmentation, or resistance to foreign rule can organize vast amounts of information meaningfully. Tutors help students develop these thematic lenses so they can synthesize complex material and answer essay questions that ask them to compare periods or trace developments over centuries.

AP courses emphasize historiographical thinking—understanding how historians construct arguments from evidence—rather than memorizing facts. AP Indian history requires analyzing competing interpretations, evaluating primary source reliability and bias, and making evidence-based arguments about causation and periodization. Students must synthesize information across centuries to answer thematic questions, compare different regions' experiences, and understand how Indian history connects to global processes like trade, empire, and modernization. The exam rewards nuance: recognizing that colonialism had complex effects, that Indian societies were dynamic rather than static, and that historical actors had agency within constraints. Tutors prepare students for this level by teaching them to think like historians—asking critical questions about sources, building arguments systematically, and moving beyond simplified narratives.
