Elementary Social Studies introduces children to the world beyond their own experience — how communities work, what a map actually shows, how rules and government affect daily life, and how the past connects to the present.

The specific focus shifts significantly from grade to grade, moving from family and neighborhood in the early years to state and national history by upper elementary. Whether a child is just starting to talk about maps and community helpers or beginning to study local and state history, our tutors at Growing Stars meet them exactly where they are, using their own classroom material.
Our expert tutors focus on building clear thinking about people, places, and time wherever a child is in their learning journey, creating a strong foundation for every grade that follows.
Elementary Social Studies isn’t one fixed set of topics. A Kindergartner might be learning about families and community helpers, while a 5th grader is studying state or national history and geography. Rather than teaching from a fixed list of topics, our tutors work directly from the child’s own textbook, class notes, and assignments, so every session lines up with exactly what’s being taught in class, regardless of the grade or topic.
At Growing Stars, we know that every young learner’s understanding of the world develops differently. Our expert tutors personalize each session to the child’s classroom material, learning pace, and comfort level, rather than following a fixed script.
Sessions follow along with what’s happening in the classroom, supported by our library of hands-on practice activities and visual learning tools. Because sessions are one-on-one, tutors can spend as much time as needed on the concept causing trouble — whether that’s reading a simple map, understanding why rules matter, or placing events in the right order.
Sessions take place online, so children can join from home with a parent nearby, or from anywhere with an internet connection.
