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.)

In fact, my daughter says Kim is the best history teacher she experienced in public or private school. Kim is an experienced, highly knowledgeable high school world history teacher who helped create the AP World History course offered in her school. She currently teaches AP World History at an academically rigorous NYC public high school. Kim knows exactly how to convey and reinforce the key concepts and analytical skills necessary to master world history.
