Hi, my name is Steve.

I have a passion for helping high school students understand AP history! For the past 23 years I have taught APUSH, AP Euro and AP World history courses to thousands of students who have had remarkable success. I hold Master's degrees in both history and education and served as a co-author of New York City's social studies curriculum as well as the APUSH curriculum at the New York Historical Society.

Since 2019, I have also provided individualized tutoring to hundreds of AP history students. My approach is to make a careful assessment of each student's specific learning needs and then craft and individualized plan to help her or him achieve success in both the classroom on the AP exam itself. Whether you are struggling with the narrative of history, the context of events, multiple-choice, primary document analysis or writing, I am here to provide patient help and attention.

Let me know how I can best help you!

The best history teacher-Thank you for every thing!

Cold War History -he helped my daughter with understanding every concept of the Cold War and his knowledge on anything and everything history related is incredible -you could ask him pretty much anything and he would not have to refer to a text but would be able to tell you just off the top of his head.He is genuinely interested and invested in his students and enjoys teaching the subject and this then translates to the student who he is teaching !These are words from my daughter when she described Stephen!No matter what kind of help she needed she knew she could count on him to come through!She is a good student but he helped her attain the goals she set for herself!For her year long paper that she worked on for months- his guidance and depth of knowledge on the subject was extremely valuable!We highly recommend Stephen for anything History related!

Great tutor for AP Euro

Our son really loves working with Stephen. He helps with the details in preparing for both class and tests, which is exactly what our son was looking for. I highly recommend, Stephen.

Acchieved goal

After two sessions with Stephen, my daughter aced her semester final in APUSH. She said his advice and recommendations on how to approach the test really helped her.

Ruth, 2 lessons with Stephen

Great session

Helped my teen daughter before her AP world history exam. Was very thorough, explained things so she can understand. Listened and encouraged her when she was close but not quite there with her responses. Thank you!

Ann Marie, 1 lesson with Stephen

Excellent tutor !

My daughter took AP European History classes with Stephen, and after just a few sessions, she gained much more confidence in the subject. His teaching methods are clear and effective, and he is highly knowledgeable and consistently punctual. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone seeking help in this subject. Thank you, Stephen, for your invaluable assistance! My daughter often says she wishes she had started lessons with him earlier in preparation for the exam.

Excellent tutor who knows his stuff

Steve is helping our son better prepare for both his in class work and his AP exam. Our son is improving with each session.

Andrew, 10 lessons with Stephen

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

My son was uncertain about several aspects of APUSH, but Stephen immediately figured out the problem and showed my son how to write his answers better. Stephen knows the material extremely well, and he patiently (but firmly) got my son on the right track. We are very grateful!
