About Portland, OR
Nestled in between the Willamette and Columbia rivers, the beautiful city of Portland is the most populated city in the state of Oregon and the third most populous in the Pacific Northwest section of the country, just behind Seattle and Vancouver. Portland is known to be a progressive city, and has put into place innovative land-use initiatives as well as a heavy investment in its public transit system. The city enjoys a placid, northwestern climate and weather pattern, with warm, balmy summers and misty, rainy weather in the winters, not unlike Seattle.
Portland also shares a similar cultural spirit. Known for its hip, thriving nightlife, coffee shops, bars, nightclubs, and fine restaurants, the city offers young professionals one of the most cosmopolitan urban cultures on the west coast. This emphasis on culture has led to quite a thriving arts movement in the city, and Portland is now known for its diverse collection of artists and art organizations. The city was rated one of the 10 best arts cities in the U.S. in 2006. Portland is also home to well-respected Portland Art Museum, the Oregon Ballet Theatre, the Oregon Symphony, and the Portland Opera.
Portland, like other U.S. cities, is based around a collection of different regions and neighborhoods. The West Side of the city is the oldest and most densely populated, but Downtown is located in the southwest section of the city. Some of the various neighborhoods of the city include: Forest Park, Goose Hollow, Hillside, Linnton, Kenton, Overlook, Piedmont, and Alameda. Surrounding cities include: Salmon Creek, Hazel Dell, Cedar Mill, Orchards, Vancouver, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Wilsonville, Canby, Beaverton, Aloha, Sherwood, Newberg, Hillsboro, and Camas.

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.
Whether you are a young child, a teenager, a university student, or a professional adult and are seeking help in history, our tutors can assist you. Our professional tutors have advanced degrees or extensive training in history and can tutor and help in subject areas such as religious studies, philosophy, literature, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, political science, musicology, historiography, social history, literary history, period history, gender history, people’s history, and geography. Instruction and homework help in History is offered in various cities and towns such as Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and others.
