Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with the interconnected nature of Medieval European History—understanding how political, religious, economic, and social systems influenced one another across centuries and regions. Students often find it difficult to keep track of multiple kingdoms, rulers, and shifting borders, or to see beyond stereotypes about the "Dark Ages." Additionally, analyzing primary sources like charters or religious texts requires specialized skills that classroom instruction may not always develop deeply. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by building connections between concepts, helping students develop systematic note-taking strategies, and practicing source analysis in a focused way.
Medieval European History is typically covered in 9th or 10th grade world history courses, often as a major unit spanning several weeks. Most curricula emphasize the fall of Rome, the rise of feudalism, the role of the Catholic Church, the Crusades, and the transition toward the Renaissance. State and district standards vary, but generally students are expected to understand cause-and-effect relationships across the period, analyze primary and secondary sources, and recognize how medieval institutions shaped modern Europe. A tutor can clarify your specific curriculum's focus and ensure you're meeting those expectations while building deeper historical thinking skills.
Effective Medieval European History tutors combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to make complex systems understandable. They help students see the "big picture"—how feudalism, the Church, trade, and warfare all reinforced each other—rather than memorizing isolated facts. Great tutors also teach students how to read and analyze primary sources, organize information chronologically and thematically, and construct arguments supported by historical evidence. They adjust their approach based on whether a student needs foundational concept building, test preparation, or advanced analytical skills for essays and projects.
In a classroom, teachers must pace instruction to fit 25-30 students with varying backgrounds and interests. A personalized tutor can slow down on concepts you find confusing—like the feudal hierarchy or the complexities of the Great Schism—and move quickly through material you've already mastered. Tutors can also tailor examples and assignments to your specific interests, whether that's the lives of medieval women, technological innovations, or military strategy. This focused approach helps you build genuine understanding rather than surface-level memorization, which translates directly to better essay writing, test performance, and retention.
Students typically see measurable improvements across multiple areas: stronger test scores (especially on multiple-choice questions and short-answer sections focused on cause-and-effect), higher-quality essays with better-supported arguments and clearer organization, improved ability to analyze and cite primary sources, and greater confidence in class discussions and presentations. Beyond grades, students often develop a more sophisticated understanding of how historical systems work—skills that transfer to analyzing current events and understanding other historical periods. Most students notice a significant shift from viewing history as "a bunch of facts to memorize" to seeing it as an interconnected narrative they can actually understand and discuss thoughtfully.
Bring any recent assignments, tests, or class notes so your tutor can understand your curriculum and current performance. Make a list of specific topics or concepts that confuse you—whether it's the difference between feudalism and the manorial system, the Crusades, or how to write a strong historical essay. If you have upcoming tests or projects, share those details early so your tutor can design sessions around them. During sessions, take notes on the explanations and strategies your tutor shares, and ask questions whenever something doesn't click. Between sessions, revisit your notes and try applying what you've learned to practice problems or source analysis exercises.
Primary source analysis is a core skill in Medieval European History, but it's rarely taught systematically in classrooms. A tutor can teach you a structured approach: identifying the source's author, date, purpose, and intended audience; noticing bias and perspective; and connecting the source to broader historical context. Tutors can walk through several sources with you until the process becomes automatic, then give you opportunities to practice independently with feedback. This skill is especially valuable because it applies to every unit in Medieval European History—from analyzing religious texts and royal charters to chronicles and artwork—and it's precisely what teachers look for in strong essays and test responses.
