PhD in History/Literature, AP Grader, 15+ Years Teaching Experience
Spring 2021 Update: I am currently only taking on editing/proofreading work, as my schedule for AP exam prep is full.
For 15+ years, I have been teaching in-person and online in high school and college classrooms in the United States and Japan. I serve annually as an AP grader for AP World History (WHAP), a class I teach extensively. I also teach and have scored materials for AP US History (APUSH) and AP European History.

Talented teacher and personable class
// Adam is a personable and well-qualified tutor. The quality that really distinguishes him from the others is his devotion to each of his students. As a tutor, Adam tailors to my needs without question and puts in work outside of class. He is practical and result-oriented, yet sympathetic. He does whatever he can to make sure class is fun, engaging, and open! // In terms of my pure results in AP classes, Adam is phenomenal simply because the curriculum is second nature to him. He has taught these classes himself at the high school or even university level, and he presents material in a confident, concise manner. // In preparing for the 2020 AP Euro exam, Adam was always available on his own volition to grade my practice DBQs along with feedback. I ended up with an A in the class and a 5 on the exam. This year, we are working on APUSH and AP Lit, two notoriously difficult classes within the district. Once again, Adam possesses strong knowledge in both curriculums and has promptly given feedback to every single FRQ that I've sent his way. In AP Lit specifically, my progress grade has improved from a low B to a comfortable A because my quick writes have improved drastically. // If you want a fun class along with the results, I highly recommend Adam!

Adam is an approachable and effective tutor.
In our first lesson, Adam asked me what I wanted to achieve with our lessons in order to figure out how to cater to my goal effectively. I learned more than I had expected to, so I decided to book our next lesson before our first lesson finished. Yuko

Knowledgable, inspiring and fun tutor
My daughter has liked Adam since the day she met him. She learned so much from him. Adam not only teaches the dry concepts from AP Gov and APUSH very clearly, but he also makes my daughter understand the material to a deeper level so that she can really enjoy the course. Thank you, Adam!

Extremely helpful , knowledgeable, and patient with my reluctant teen taking AP European history. Asked for her work before her lesson to review beforehand which was so helpful .

Reluctant teen loves Adam
My teen was not very happy about being set up with a tutor, but after the first lesson, admitted that Adam was great and that he learned a lot. Adam was great about pre-assessing his level and reviewing his class work and was able to jump right in and get my son going. Thanks Adam!!
