A great history teacher doesn't just recite facts—they teach students how to build a powerful argument. Our tutors are elite historians and educators who excel at this. They are veteran teachers with PhDs and Master's degrees in History, many with decades of classroom experience. Crucially, our team includes official AP Readers (the graders for the national exam), giving them an insider’s view on what it takes to write a high-scoring essay. They are experts at teaching the precise skills needed to craft a perfect DBQ thesis and defend it with evidence.

US History is not about memorizing a list of dates. It's about developing a set of skills. Our tutoring moves students from being passive consumers of facts to active producers of historical arguments. In our initial session, we identify your student's specific challenges. Is it analyzing primary sources? Developing a strong thesis? Using evidence effectively? We then build a personalized "historian's toolkit" of strategies for reading, writing, and thinking critically about the past.

The result is essay-writing confidence. It’s the feeling of looking at a complex DBQ prompt and knowing exactly how to attack it: how to group documents, how to bring in outside evidence, and how to construct an argument that could earn the coveted complexity point. By mastering these specific, repeatable skills, students see a dramatic improvement not just in their grades, but in their ability to think critically and write persuasively—often within just 2 to 4 weeks.
