Melinda B.

43 History lessons

My son has always had a strong interest and aptitude for history but AP European History was becoming unwieldy. From that day on, Preston would walk into our home each Sunday afternoon cheerfully calling out, "It's a great day for history!" And it always was. Every member of our family would bustle quietly around the study session gaining insight. (I was a history major in college, and he connected concepts that were in my senior thesis.)
Yan L.

46 History lessons

William is a highly experienced AP World History teacher. He teaches AP World History at the high school and also serves as an examiner for the College Board. He is deeply familiar with the AP curriculum and requirements, and his expertise shows in his focused and sophisticated teaching. He does not tutor other AP history subjects—his specialization in AP World History allows him to provide targeted, high-quality instruction.

At first session I was blown away by how much he knows the history. I could point out the world map and ask him the history of the country and he would know. He is very gentle and warm person and makes it fun for learning. I originally came from Japan and was surprised that Darrell knows real well about the Japanese history. It feels like that he has the knowledge of an encyclopedia of history. I would highly recommend Darrell for history and English tutor.
