High School History Tutors in Philadelphia

About Philadelphia, PA

Nestled between New York City and Washington, D.C., Philadelphia can easily be overlooked when scanning a map of the Northeast. And yet, when one considers the immense historical significance that Philadelphia played in the development of the United States, the city is quickly appreciated as a haven of rich American history and culture. After all, Philadelphia overshadowed even New York in the 18th century in both politics and culture, and was the second-largest city in the British empire before the American Revolution, second only to London. Today, Philadelphia, who name literally means “City of Brotherly Love,” still remembers its grand roots; it is a city of true greatness.

Unlike older cities that were designed on the fly, William Penn and the Quakers designed Philadelphia with a logical cityscape in mind. Today, the city’s neighborhoods are well established and diverse: South Philadelphia is a largely Italian-American community and home to the famed Italian Market, an open, European-style market. West Philadelphia sits just on the other sides of the banks of the Schuylkill River and is home to the campuses of Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. North Philadelphia is also home to some hallowed academic institutions, such as LaSalle University and Temple University, and Center City is the heart and soul of city, which contains its banking and commercial district as well as a rich cultural community. The surrounding counties of Philadelphia are densely populated, and yet they still enjoy a placid suburban lifestyle that is special to Philadelphia. Towns like Springfield, Media, Swarthmore, Aston, Boothwyn, New Hope, Horsham, King of Prussia, Malvern, and West Chester are all less than an hour from Center City.

With the advent of globalized economics, Philadelphia is now considered to a truly global city, with numerous multi-national corporations making their home there. Philadelphia also has a bustling trade port, and is a true crossroads for international trade. And, just as it was a bastion of educational excellence back in the 18th century, with figures like famous inventor and founding father Benjamin Franklin leading a culture of scientists, inventors, and thinkers, today it still remains a foremost academic force in the world today. Founded by Franklin himself, The University of Pennsylvania is one of the finest and most exclusive universities in the world, and it enrols gifted students from every corner of the globe.

About High School History

The subject of history is one of the oldest and most central subjects taught in schools throughout the world. The focus on history at the high school-level is usually quite expansive and concentrated on for all four years of the curriculum. The study of history is the study of the written record and scientific and archaeological discoveries of the past, particularly as it pertains to the human race. History has been written about even since the ancient times, when written record and oral tradition was all that early historians could rely upon. Today, history continues to evolve based on the work of previous historians as well as new means of preserving historical fact, such as photography, sound recording, and motion pictures. In high school, each semester is usually devoted to one specific period or culture.

Because history is extremely wide-ranging, covering all geographical areas of the world as well as every period of human existence, there are many subdivisions to the study of history. In addition, history is no longer studied in the abstract: now the subject of history is often interlocked with other scholarly subjects, such as religious studies, philosophy, literature, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, political science, and musicology. Within the discipline of history, students must also learn concepts such as historiography, social history, literary history, period history, gender history, people’s history, and geography, all of which are introduced at the high school level. Because history is so far-reaching, many students find it advantageous to work one-on-one with a history tutor.
