I have completed all requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in History at California State University, San Marcos, and I will be formally receiving my degree shortly. My academic training emphasizes U.S., world, and Mexican history, with a strong focus on primary source analysis, historical writing, and critical interpretation rather than memorization. During my studies, I completed multiple advanced research projects and worked as a Museum Archivist Intern at the Escondido History Center, where I conducted archival research, evaluated historical documents, and translated complex historical material into clear written narratives. This background allows me to tutor students not only in historical content, but also in the skills historians use to think, analyze, and write.
My teaching approach is shaped by both academic research and one-on-one instructional experience. I have guided students through essay development, document-based questions, and source evaluation, helping them understand how to construct arguments, organize evidence, and improve clarity in writing. I am comfortable working with middle school, high school, and introductory college-level students, including those taking U.S. history, world history, or AP-style courses. I adapt my instruction to each student’s learning style, breaking down complex topics into manageable concepts while reinforcing confidence and independent thinking.
As a tutor, my goal is not only to help students succeed academically, but to help them understand history as an interconnected narrative that explains the present. I emphasize discussion, guided questioning, and real historical examples to make lessons engaging and meaningful. My long-term goal is to become a history professor, and tutoring allows me to build strong teaching skills while supporting students in developing critical thinking, writing, and analytical abilities that will benefit them across disciplines.
