Hi! My name is Alex. I’m a high school teacher and tutor who’s excited to share my love for history with prospective students. My expertise is in world and European history. I have lived on three continents and in six countries and explored the world, so I’m passionate about studying cultures and history from around the globe! My main goal as an educator is to show students how history from these places and beyond is relevant to them and has shaped the world they live in.

I have been teaching since 2018 at a high school level, from grades 9 to 12. I have taught regular, honors, and AP courses and worked with students of all backgrounds with different learning needs. My experience includes teaching AP World History, AP U.S. Politics and Government, and U.S. History. I provided in-person and online tutoring opportunities for all these subjects, as well as AP Euro and AP U.S. History (APUSH).

I specialize in breaking down the AP Exams into manageable components and helping students develop the necessary historical thinking skills to ace their exams! I have personally designed a number of study aides, including step-by-step guides on how to take on each part of the exam with examples and practice problems. I have also designed review activities to help students retain and brush up on their knowledge to prepare for their exams.

I had the unique experience of teaching through the COVID pandemic, which helped me understand how to keep students engaged and to help them stay on top of their studies. Zoom and WebEx gave me new opportunities to tutor my students online. I have learned how to use different online resources to gauge what students know and what they need to improve upon.

If you are looking to excel at your AP history exams, or if you need help understanding concepts, please feel free to reach out to schedule a tutoring session. I am always excited to help students better understand history and to see them grow as learners!

Expertise in World History

Alex P. helped my high school son prepare for the AP World History Modern exam in 2024. He guided my son through the sections of the test and helped him practice his FRQs, LEQs, and provided him with feedback on how to improve. My son gives him a 5 star review and recommends Alex's expertise for other students looking to advance their knowledge in this subject.

Highly effective and caring

Alex was helping my daughter to prepare for the AP World History exam, we decided to get a tutor 1 week before the test. My daughter who is an apt learner, and strong performer, had tons of test anxiety. Alex was super helpful and highly effective, he quickly figured out the areas where my daughter needed tutoring, and conducted super-informative sessions. My daughter asked for repeated lesson with Alex during the week, because it was so helpful for her. Moreover, Alex was super kind and was reviewing written questions from my daughter, pointing out the best ways to improve. Thank you, Alex! You have been our best AP history tutor.

great tutor!

Alex is a great tutor. He’s very knowledgeable and he prepares slides ahead of time when I give him the learning material. He’s really catered his lessons for what my daughter needs to pass her APUSH class. My daughter got the highest grade on her test and it’s thanks to Alex explaining concepts well. He asks insightful questions to gauge her understanding and keeps the lessons very engaging.

Highly Recommended Tutor

Alex has been an amazing tutor for my daughter in AP World History. She was struggling at the start of the class, but Alex’s guidance made a real difference. He took the time to explain the key concepts in a way that helped her understand and stay engaged with the material. His positive approach also made studying more enjoyable, and as a result, her grades improved significantly. I’m really grateful for Alex’s support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with AP World History or any other history-related subject.

Passionate and Incredible APUSH Tutor

We’ve been working with Alex for two months, and I can confidently say he has made a remarkable difference in my daughter’s performance in APUSH. Before we found Alex, we tried another tutor, but the experience was disappointing. The previous tutor mainly reviewed the material with little interaction, making it difficult for my daughter to fully grasp the content. After narrowing my search to history specialists, I was so lucky to found Alex. He is incredibly passionate about history and goes well beyond just teaching the course material. Alex also emphasizes problem-solving skills and encourages my daughter to explain her thought process when she answers incorrectly. This approach has been highly effective in helping her understand and improve. Prior to working with Alex, her test scores were around 70%. Since then, she has consistently scored over 90%, which is an amazing improvement. We are extremely grateful for his support. His teaching has truly made a significant impact on my daughter’s understanding and success in APUSH.
