Learning Guides
All free. All fun. All for you.
English & Literature
Newsflash: reading the classics makes you a better person. Or at the very least, it makes you a better Shmooper. Check out our English and Literature Learning Guides for everything we have to offer in the world of reading, writing, and absolutely not arithmetic.
Math
Imagine a world without math. No functional relationships. No allowances. No 101 Dalmations. The horror! Shmoop's Math Learning Guides make algebra, geometry, and even calculus easier than a piece of pi.
Science
If you were one of those kids who salted snails, dropped watermelons off the roof, or dumped a whole tube of Mentos into a bottle Diet Coke, science might just be your thing. And our Science Learning Guides are just like neutrons—free of charge.
Social Science
Don’t know much about history? We’ve got your back. Our Social Science Learning Guides cover everything from the origins of Western religion to the origins of our nation to the origins of some severely deformed demi-gods.
Arts & Music
You may be an expert in stick figures and that heavy metal band you started in 6th grade, but our Arts and Music Learning Guides will help you dig just a little deeper.
Life Skills
Are you a total bookworm who’s looking to spread your, um, gizzards? Our Life Skills Learning Guides will get you on your way, helping to pave your way toward the real world. Not that Hogwarts isn’t the real world.
