Social Studies is a difficult subject for many elementary school students because it can be dry with a heavy emphasis on rote memorization. However, an Elementary Social Studies tutor can make studying this subject fun! If you're interested in trying Elementary School Social Studies tutoring for your child, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a professional instructor today.
Social Studies curricula vary by school district. Here are some of the concepts your child may be exploring:
- The history of your state of residence
- The Revolutionary period (with an emphasis on patriotism)
- Geography (including state capitals)
- Pre-Civil War American history
If your child is having a hard time remembering all of the state capitals, playing games with their Elementary Social Studies tutor may help drive them home. Alternatively, flashcards may be created to give visual learners something more convenient to study than their textbook. Auditory learners may benefit more from reading the information out loud until it sticks. Every child learns differently, and a private tutor offers the flexibility to keep trying different things until the information clicks.
