Answer a few questions to connect with your perfect tutor
Why Enhanced Prep?
Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school. Nowadays, it takes more than a single strong test score to get into college. Students have got to have the grades and the test scores and then some. At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

What Is Humanities?
In academia, the humanities are a group of subjects in the arts, history, languages, philosophy, and literature. Courses such as English literature, art history, philosophy, theatre, foreign language courses, and writing all count as humanities subjects. Universities will sometimes group different majors under a singular humanities school or department, the same way they would with science or math. Enhanced Prep's holistic approach to tutoring can help students in humanities courses master important concepts.
Humanities Help for Common Courses
Students begin learning subjects that fall under the humanities category, such as English language arts, history, foreign language, and fine arts, in elementary, middle and high school, but they usually won't be referred to as 'humanities courses.' Once students enter college, they may take courses or major in a subject in the humanities department of their school; the specific courses and majors offered will vary with each university. Some universities offer a general humanities major, where students can complete an interdisciplinary study of different humanities subjects.
AP English Literature and Composition
High school students have the chance to earn college credit by taking the AP English Literature and Composition course. Students read various poems and works of fiction to understand character, plot, symbolism, and literary themes. They'll also learn how to interpret these works, create their own, and write essays defending their interpretation.
Introduction to Philosophy
Intro to philosophy courses are taught at the college level; they encourage students to explore various philosophical concepts. Students study the major periods and writings of key figures in Western philosophy, including Aristotle, Sartre, Plato, and Marx. Presenting their own thoughts on philosophical movements, figures, and ideas also plays a major part.
Introduction to Art History
Intro to art history courses teach students about key artistic movements across Europe and America, from the fourteenth century to today. Students learn about artistic techniques and their developments, as well as how art and its various techniques are tied to cultural, religious, social, and political movements.
Introduction to Journalism
Intro to journalism courses instruct students on the basics of reporting. Students explore concepts that include ethics and journalistic integrity, how to analyze events in the world to find a newsworthy story, and how to vet reliable sources. More concrete skills, such as pitching, writing, and publishing articles, are also taught.
Online Humanities Help for Test Prep
Students may come across humanities subjects in certain standardized tests, such as the Advanced Placement exams for college credit. If students are worried about their ability to pass a test, Enhanced Prep's professional humanities tutors can guide them. By determining what content they need to master and what test-taking strategies work best, students can refresh their humanities knowledge, feel confident in their abilities, and maximize their chances of getting the score they want.
AP English Literature and Composition Exam
The AP English Literature and Composition exam assesses students on their ability to analyze and interpret various works of fiction, poetry, and drama. Students answer multiple-choice questions and write 3 long-response answers to one poem, fictional passage, and a literary concept from a notable work.
AP Art History Exam
The AP Art History exam tests students on their knowledge of notable works of art and their connected cultural movements in history. Students are also tested on their ability to compare different artworks as well as analyze them. Multiple-choice and long-response questions on visual and contextual analysis make up the exam.
AP Italian Language and Culture Exam
AP students have the choice of several foreign language courses, each with an accompanying exam; one example of these courses/exams is Italian Language and Culture. Students are tested on their ability to understand, write, and speak Italian effectively through multiple-choice, free-response, and auditory questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a humanities tutor do?
Humanities tutors offer personalized instruction in various humanities subjects, such as the arts, language, music, history, and philosophy. Students can meet with tutors in person or online and work out a tutoring schedule that fits their needs. Because humanities subjects vary greatly, finding a tutor who clicks with you and understands your learning style is important. Enhanced Prep's professional tutors use student input to determine what unique game plan and strategies work best for them so they can succeed in their classes.
How do I choose a humanities tutor?
Many things can influence a student's choice of a humanities tutor, such as meeting online or in person, daily availability, compatibility, and what the tutor offers. For example, you may need to pass a foreign language exam and want help with pronunciation. So, it would be in your best interest to look for a humanities tutor who specializes in the language you're studying and provides good test-taking strategies. Enhanced Prep's tutors can help you identify the content you need to focus on so that you can spend more time learning and less time worrying.
Can a humanities tutor help me pass my class?
Several components are involved in passing a class, such as paying attention, studying, completing homework and class assignments, participating in class, tackling projects, and passing tests. Because of this, you don't want to spend too much time working on one thing if something else is keeping your grade low. For example, if you test well but struggle with class assignments, it makes sense to spend more time working on assignments. A humanities tutor from Enhanced Prep can work with you to determine what content will be the most crucial for you to master so you can maximize your chances of getting a passing grade in your class.
Can a humanities tutor help me study for a test?
Tests can be stressful for a lot of students, but working with a tutor can help ease some of the anxiety. Enhanced Prep works with students and parents to create a supportive environment because we understand that everyone invested in a student's success understands what they need to be successful. Part of creating that environment is determining what test-taking strategies work best for each student so that they can arrive on test day feeling confident in their knowledge and abilities.
Can a tutor help me with my humanities homework?
Maybe you understand the material in class, but at home, you struggle to grasp or remember important topics or concepts. That's when online humanities help could be beneficial. Online humanities tutors from Enhanced Prep can help students identify what content they need to focus on. From there, our tutors can help them retain any subject matter information they're having trouble with so they can remember it better when it's time to complete homework assignments.
