Hello! I'm Preston, a licensed Social Studies teacher with more than three years of classroom experience. I earned my bachelor's degree in Social Science with teaching licensure from Harding University in 2012, graduating with a 3.75 GPA. I hold Social Studies teaching licenses in both Arkansas and Texas for grades 7-12. I spent two and a half years teaching 7th grade Texas History and one semester teaching 7th grade math, and I currently teach at the high school level in Arkansas. I have taught approximately 150 students per year, working with close to 600 students across a wide range of abilities and learning needs.

In addition to classroom teaching, I have regularly provided small-group academic support after school, averaging about one session per week over the past three years. I begin by identifying where a student's understanding breaks down and then adapt my instruction to meet that need. I use a variety of strategies, including questioning, modeling, guided practice, reading and annotation strategies, primary source analysis, and frequent checks for understanding. My goal is to help students understand the reasoning behind the answers and examine evidence so they may become more confident and independent thinkers.

My strongest subject areas include American History, World History, Geography, Social Studies and Political Science. My classroom experience sets my apart by giving me daily experience adapting instruction for different learners and helping students develop the reading, writing, source-analysis, note-taking and study skills needed for success. I enjoy helping students move past memorizing names and dates to understanding historical context and connections between events and ideas. If you are looking for a patient, experienced classroom teacher who will meet you where you are and help you move forward as a student, I'd be happy to work with you!

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

I am a professional Social Studies teacher with three years of middle school classroom experience and currently teach at the high school level. American history has been a significant part of my teaching background, including helping students understand historical events, people, primary sources, and cause-and-effect relationships. I emphasize understanding the larger story of history rather than simply memorizing names and dates. I can help students review course material, prepare for assessments, analyze sources, and strengthen their overall understanding of American history.
European History

European History

My background as a Social Studies teacher has given me experience helping students understand historical change through chronology, geography, political developments, economics, conflict, and culture. I help students connect individual events in European history to broader historical developments rather than treating them as isolated facts. My approach emphasizes cause and effect, comparison, historical context, and evidence. I can assist students with coursework, reading, assignments, historical analysis, and test preparation.
Geography

Geography

Geography has been an important component of my Social Studies teaching experience at the middle and high school levels. I help students understand both physical and human geography, including regions, cultures, migration, resources, population, and the relationship between geography and historical events. My approach focuses on helping students recognize patterns and connections instead of simply memorizing locations on a map. I can help with geography coursework, assignments, map skills, vocabulary, and assessment preparation.
Political Science

Political Science

I am a professional Social Studies teacher with classroom experience helping students analyze political institutions, historical developments, and the relationship between citizens and government. I emphasize understanding political ideas and systems through evidence, comparison, discussion, and critical thinking rather than memorization alone. My teaching experience has also given me extensive practice making complex social and political concepts understandable for younger learners. I can help students strengthen their reading, analysis, writing, and understanding of political science coursework.
Social Studies

Social Studies

I am a professional Social Studies teacher with three years of middle school classroom experience and currently teach at the high school level. My background includes history, geography, political science, historical source analysis, reading, and academic writing within Social Studies. I specialize in breaking complicated material into manageable pieces and helping students understand why events and ideas matter rather than relying only on memorization. I can help students with classwork, homework, test preparation, reading comprehension, source analysis, and building stronger study habits.
United States History

United States History

I have three years of experience teaching Social Studies in a middle school classroom and currently teach Social Studies at the high school level. I help students understand U.S. history by connecting individual events to larger themes such as government, economics, conflict, social change, and geography. My approach emphasizes historical reasoning, cause and effect, chronology, and primary-source analysis rather than memorization alone. I can help students with assignments, test preparation, historical reading, and building a stronger understanding of U.S. history.
World History

World History

As a professional Social Studies teacher, I have experience helping students understand history through chronology, geography, culture, economics, government, and cause-and-effect relationships. I encourage students to see connections between civilizations and historical events rather than treating each unit as an isolated collection of facts. I break complex topics into manageable pieces and use questions to help students develop their own understanding. I can assist with course content, assignments, source analysis, review, and test preparation.
