About your tutor

I have 7 years of tutoring experience, specializing in AP US History for both high school and college students. My teaching style is interactive, student-focused, and designed to make history both engaging and accessible. I believe in breaking down complex topics like the American Revolution, Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement into easy-to-understand lessons, making them relevant to today’s world. I use a variety of innovative methods, including analyzing primary sources like historical documents, speeches, and images, to bring history to life. By incorporating multimedia resources, interactive discussions, and historical case studies, I help students connect deeply with the material. I also focus on helping students develop critical thinking skills by encouraging them to engage with history beyond the textbook. Whether youre preparing for the AP exam or looking to improve your overall understanding of American history, my goal is to guide you toward success. I am dedicated to helping students not only perform well on exams but also foster a lasting appreciation for the past and its influence on the present.

Teaching methodology

My teaching approach is centered around communication, empathy, collaboration, and integrity to ensure students succeed in AP US History. I focus on open communication, encouraging students to ask questions, share ideas, and discuss challenging topics like the American Revolution, Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement. Through this dialogue, I gain insight into each student’s learning style and adjust my lessons accordingly. Empathy plays a key role in my teaching, as I strive to understand the unique challenges each student faces, creating a supportive and inclusive environment. I promote collaboration by guiding students through critical discussions and analysis of primary sources, helping them engage with history in a deeper way. Integrity is the foundation of my feedback, providing honest and constructive guidance to help students grow. In addition to AP US History, I offer support in related subjects, helping students connect historical events to broader contexts. My goal is to make history meaningful and accessible while fostering a lasting interest in the subject.
