About Me

Experience Summary

This is my fourth year tutoring middle and high school students in History and Government. I also have professional classroom teaching experience and volunteer elementary school teaching experience. My students, primarily Global History, World History and European History students, have raised their class grades, passed the Regents exam by many points and earned high scores on the AP. I specialize in both content acquisition and essay writing skills. Some students have worked with me for half a year or more, others for a month or two before cumulative exams.

Teaching Style

Students being tutored one-on-one deserve lessons customized to their learning style. My sessions often incorporate some writing and topic discussion along with activities tailored to the student's interests, skill development needs and preferences.

My Hobbies

hiking, volunteering, attending concerts, reading historical fiction, travel

Other Comments

My students usually receive some tutoring homework.

Subject Commentary

American History Proficiency: Experienced
My teacher training focused on U.S./American History. I have tutored middle school students, Regents students and AP students in U.S. History.
Geography Proficiency: Experienced
For three summers, I taught geography to gifted middle school students for Johns Hopkins.
Government Proficiency: Expert
My college minor was International Affairs. I also interned at the U.S. Congress, both House and Senate, as a college student. My tutoring experience includes AP U.S. Government, but I can also easily assist with AP Comparative Government. I spent three summers teaching international politics to gifted middle school students.
Political Science Proficiency: Experienced

I spent three summers teaching international politics to gifted middle school students for Johns Hopkins.
Social Studies Proficiency: Experienced
I am experienced in tutoring most of the middle school and high school Social Studies curriculum, at all levels. If you need help with 6th, 7th or 8th grade social studies, Global History I or II, U.S. History (Regents or AP), a Government class, Psychology, AP World, or AP European, please let me know. (I can not help you with Economics though, alas.)
World History This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored World History - Regents Global I, Regents Global II, review for the Global Regents, AP World I, AP World II, review for the AP World exam, and AP European for three years. Some of my students received help for half a year, others only before their mid-terms and cumulative exams. A few students just needed help to ensure an AP score of 5, whereas other students were failing and needed to overhaul their skills and approach. The failing students all went on to pass the Regents by an average of 10 points. Most of my students have been solid B students in the course who were hoping to raise their class grades and achieve a high Regents score and/or score of 4 on the AP.
