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.

My individualized and passionate teaching style, both in person and online, has given me a reputation among my students as a motivating, patient, and attentive teacher. In my first year as an AP teacher, I was chosen by my peers as Teacher of the Year in my district. Students say I am an effective motivator, with my enthusiasm and passion for the subject, I instill that same passion in my students, and show them how they can all succeed. As a result, 100% of my students every year take the AP test, and 85% of them pass. The majority of the 11th grade at my school apply to take my class. As an AP grader, I'm proud to say that due to my grading accuracy and knowledge of the rubrics I was recommended for Table Leader at the most recent reading. Students are taking on a real academic challenge with this course, and I must show them exactly what they need to do to meet that challenge. Above all, I ground my pedagogy in the belief that every student can master academic writing and succeed.

"Mr. Kraft!". "Mr. Kraft!". "MR. KRAFT!"- is usually what I hear when I walk through the hallways of my school. While it can be a tad loud in the mornings, ultimately, I'm glad that I made such a great impact on my students. I've taught for a total of 8 years so far, teaching both U.S. History and World History. I attended Rutgers University, where I earned a Master's Degree in Education and a Bachelor's Degree in History. One of my main strengths as a teacher is that I keep up with the varying interests and trends of secondary-aged students. I use this as a tool to help connect the learners with the material, working to make the content much more relatable. I am an advocate for using inquiry-based learning, where together, we can investigate topics and make informed conclusions. It seems to be working; I've been a finalist for "Teacher of the Year" five years running. I'd love the opportunity to help bring history to life and make an impact on more students with Superstudy!

AP US History Grader

University of Michigan

35 years of teaching experience

I have been teaching AP US History for nearly 30 years and have served as an AP reader for over 10 years. I have worked at several prestigious private and public schools throughout the United States. My experience allows me to plug into any historical period in US History and help you quickly gain a solid understanding to help with MCQ’s. I have also used my experience as a reader to develop a formula which helps students boost their SAQ, LEQ & DBQ abilities to earn the highest essay scores on the AP Exam while improving your class grade. I will provide you with the most comfortable, judgment-free setting that will allow you to relax and master the content of the AP US History course just like hundreds of my previous students that earned a 4 or 5 on the AP Exam. Many of my students named me as their most impactful teacher and I have also won numerous awards as a basketball coach, so I can likely provide the inspiration and motivation that may help to get through your studies too!

Master Teacher Designation

20 years of teaching experience

I am a passionate and experienced educator specializing in the development of critical thought, communication and confidence for Generation Z and Alpha students. Through personal research and teaching 7-12 social studies for the past 18 years in the suburbs of Philadelphia, including Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses, I have developed a novel pedagogy and program to reach and teach our digital natives. This entails a focus on improving executive functioning skills in order to excel in analytical based research writing to effectively taking standardized tests. In this age of technological revolution, focusing on the core concepts of identity formation, holistic thought and confident kindness need to be at the center to offset the impact of the smartphone and social media on student identity and agency in the classroom. I hope to have the opportunity to create a specialized learning approach to enhance both for your child in order to maximize their potential.

My son has been working with his Superstudy Latin tutor for a year. He has been a terrific tutor, helping my son get up to speed on topics where he was behind before tutoring.

Our tutor's kindness and encouraging approach have played a vital role in taking some of the stress away and making the study of Latin more enjoyable for our grandson.-

Both of my boys took lessons as they were behind in Latin, not only did their scores improve, more importantly, their attitude towards Latin completely transformed.
