History and Writing Tutor
I am an educator who has worked with students in various settings for over twenty years. I have tutored students in both history and writing at the college and high school levels I specialize in preparing students to write excellent essays for their AP exams in US History, Art History, World History and European History. Over the last decade I have taught World, Latin American, and United States histories at local universities, as well as online classes at a global university. In addition, I have taught upper-level history and also writing classes as part of the general education curriculum. I have experience teaching history to high school students enrolled in an Early College program at a Community College. I also score AP US History exams for the College Board every summer so I am familiar with essays. I am currently an adjunct history professor completing a dissertation in history at Ohio University. While completing my MA in History at UNC Charlotte, I was the instructor of record for two sections of a Liberal Studies class for freshman as part of a grant to improve student retention rates. The curriculum for this class required instructing writing and research skills as well as encouraging the students to develop effective strategies for academic success. UNCC’s Office of Disability Services awarded me their Outstanding Faculty/Staff award for my efforts in the classroom that semester. At UNCC I completed a Teaching at the College and University Level class that expanded my pedagogical competence, especially taking into account various learning styles. At OU I completed a World History Colloquium that addressed various approaches to teaching a world history class. I believe that my knowledge and training will help you better understand historical concepts and write more proficiently.

Extensive experience at all grade levels
Extensive experience in all grade levels, college and in an after school middle school library setting daily. Past students have described my skills and presentation style as approachable, especially by an ability to frame subjects in the vein of popular culture, making nearly any topic digestible even if once an impenetrable fog. I also strive to address the fundamentals of education via rejection of rote memorization, instead showing students how information personally can have meaning to them, thus making retention all the more easier.
