Effective writing tutor specializing in history and politics

John P.

To begin, here’s a piece of free advice: If you’re struggling with a key concept or having trouble getting a writing project organized, come to me early. I’ll make sure you push off in the right direction so you can make the best use of your time and get the most for your money.
I’ll help you with the hardest part—getting organized. Together we’ll frame the project, identify the major themes, devise a research strategy, sort out the arguments and then start writing. My expertise is in American history and foreign affairs, and I have extensive experience preparing documents for publication. My specialty is helping writers break down complicated issues and explain them in language that's clear and easy to understand.
If you’ve struggled with history and related subjects, it’s probably because you’ve been conditioned to memorize lots of names and dates. History is so much more than that, and it’s more interesting when you have some tools to help you get your arms around it.
I have master’s degrees in both political science and national security studies, and I belong to Pi Gamma Mu, the international honor society in social science, and my teaching experience includes college courses in politics, government and American history. My schedule is flexible. Let’s work together.
