About your tutor

I am a passionate tutor with 2 years of experience teaching AP US History to students from high school to college. My love for education drives me to make history not just a subject to learn, but a fascinating story that connects the past to the present. Over the years, I’ve helped students build strong foundations in U.S. history, equipping them with critical thinking and analytical skills that extend beyond the classroom. I believe that every student can succeed with the right guidance and support. I am committed to creating a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and understand historical events. My dedication to student success has helped me teach over 150 students, and many of them have gone on to excel in their exams and continue their studies with a deeper appreciation for history. I am excited to continue inspiring and helping students reach their full potential in AP US History.

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology for AP US History focuses on Communication, Integrity, and Flexibility. I believe that clear and open communication is key to helping students understand historical concepts. I encourage active discussions, making sure students feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their thoughts. Integrity is at the core of my approach—ensuring that all historical facts are presented accurately, and I encourage students to think critically about the sources and perspectives they encounter. I also embrace Flexibility, adapting my lessons to meet each students learning style and pace. This allows me to offer personalized support, whether its for exam preparation or a deeper understanding of historical events. In addition to AP US History, I teach related subjects such as government, economics, and civics, helping students connect historical events to the broader context of politics and society. My goal is to make history engaging and relevant while empowering students to succeed.
