My [World] History teacher asked me if I wanted to be a class tutor, and I said I'd think about it. I really want to do it, but I'm not sure how you can help someone in history. It's not like math or science where you learn processes or stuff, it's just the memorization of facts, people, places, events, etc. I don't know if there's really a way to help anyone with just memorizing stuff. Are there any people out there who tutor or have tutored any kind of History class that can help?

Start by finding something near what the person is supposed to learn that they are interested in.
With history, it's important to discuss things more than to memorize them, so that an interest in why people did things can be cultivated..before they repeat the mistakes of the past.
Perhaps you should tutor George Bush about Vietnam.

How To Tutor History

Play jeopardy and other games that make students want to learn concepts to win. Also, try to relate the topic to the student/today's life.
You can ask the student how they like to be taught and what they need specific help with. It would be better to get to know the person instead of just thinking, "oh, it's just another person."
Most def. make them feel comfortable. There's nothing I hate more than an intimidating teacher.
I didn't necessarily tutor anyone, but I always help out people. My one friend lacked motivation, which made her grade suffer. Every time before a test I'd say how long I was going to study. Somehow she felt motivated to do well on a test, so she began studying and got help from her parents. Ever since then, she has kept an A in History.
So, my point? Find something that will motivate a person to study. Once you crack the code, give yourself a pat on the back.
Good luck!

If you are really into it it is not all about memorization. Put yourself in the situation of the HIstory book, pretend your there during world war 1 and the Great Depression. ANd then just TEACH!!!! you might want to add projects and games while your tutoring. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

The best way is hands on learning. For instance if you tutoring on the French Revolution encourage the learner to dress up as an aristicat while call yourself Pierre and yell at him/her while chasing her around with a hand-axe.

you can be a tutor by helping the person memorize things,,,,,, asking them questions , going over dates,,,,, talking with them to help them understand the importance of events in history ,,, etc some subjects do have alot of terms or dates that just need to be memorized,,,,, and so people need help or encouragement with that,,,,,, also what you can do, is help them go over certain chapters, know how to recognize what is important to learn, within that chapter,,,,if your class requires writing essays or summaries of any type, you could help them with that,,,,, knowing the format
i have tutored in history,,, sociology,,,,,, government,,,,,, math and science,,,,, its all pretty much the same principle, help the person realize what they need to learn, and then go over the material with them
