I am a dedicated AP U.S. History teacher with a strong track record of student success, with my students consistently achieving the highest AP exam passage rates in my school. With years of experience in the classroom, I have developed engaging and effective teaching strategies that make history and writing more accessible, helping students understand the connections between historical eras. My approach focuses on critical thinking, historical analysis, and mastering the writing skills needed to succeed in the SAQ, LEQ, and DBQ sections of the AP exam.

In addition to teaching in a classroom setting, I have worked with students one-on-one to help them strengthen their essay writing, develop efficient study habits, and build confidence in their written communication skills. I tailor my tutoring sessions to each student’s needs, whether they are struggling with content comprehension, time management on the exam, or crafting strong arguments. My background in education, combined with my experience preparing students for success in APUSH, allows me to provide structured yet flexible tutoring that ensures meaningful progress.

I hold a BA in History and and MBA in Organizational Management, which has strengthened my ability to break down complex information and teach students how to approach historical concepts in an organized and analytical way. Whether you need ongoing support throughout the school year or focused writing assistance, I am here to help you navigate with confidence. Let’s work together to ensure that you achieve your academic goals!
