Hi, I'm Bob. I have a Master's degree in history and a minor in mathematics. I have taught for 33+ years at the secondary and community college levels. In social studies, I taught all levels, including AP US History and AP American Government & Politics. In mathematics, I taught courses from Basic Math to Precalculus. I also coached a lot of baseball and some football and moderated various extracurricular activities. Interacting with students outside the classroom enabled me to appreciate my students as people, more than just pupils.

Throughout my teaching career, I tutored students beyond the classroom. Working 1-on-1 or in small groups allows me to more effectively assess students' skills and abilities and tailor lessons or sessions to their particular needs. I also have experience tutoring homeschooled children. Using online resources and materials supplied by students' classroom teachers and parents, I facilitate learning in a relaxed, non-stressful, and fun atmosphere. Your (or your child's) success is my only goal. I look forward to answering any questions or scheduling lessons.

I am well-qualified to tutor students needing assistance in social studies or mathematics. I have extensive experience teaching most of the social studies including World History, U.S. History, Economics, Anthropology, U.S. Government, AP US History, and AP US Government and Politics.
In math, I have similar experience in facilitating student learning from Basic Math up to Precalculus.
I am easy to reach and will respond quickly to any questions you may have or to schedule tutoring sessions.

Excellent AP US History/Government and Politics Tutor

Bob tutored my son for AP US Government and Politics last year for a couple of months. As a result, my son received 5 on the test. He was so happy with Bob that he asked me to have him teach/tutor AP US History this year instead of signing him up for an online class to prepare for the exam. Bob is a fantastic history teacher. I know he graded AP US history exams before, so he had a ton of great test-taking tips, too. My son, who is not a fan of history/social studies in general, told me he learned a TON from Bob and is confident he will do well in the exam. Bob is easy to work with for a parent, too - flexible, professional, and friendly. I am so thankful that he had his own solid curriculum for the subject so that I didn't have to do anything. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with history/social studies.

Tutor responded:

Thank you for the kind words and acknowledgement of the work your son and I did over the past two years. It was indeed my pleasure to facilitate his learning.

Helpful and knowledgeable

He helped me finish my homework, describing in detail many concepts that I was confused about. He was very kind and patient, and I'm glad to have had him as a tutor
