I have a BA in history with a minor in French, and I graduated summa cum laude. I went on to get an MA in history, with a specialization in medieval history. My MA thesis focused on the social and economic dynamics of horse ownership in medieval England and France. I then received an MPhil in history from Fordham University. I taught classes at both Trent University and Fordham University, all intro level courses with freshman (18-19 yrs old) students in a classroom setting. Class sizes were usually around 20 students, though some were as large as 35. My teaching methods included lectures and readings with discussion and writing assignments to build reading comprehension and writing skills. I always had my students complete a research project at the end of the semester to practice research skills as well as writing and constructing an argument. As a tutor, my goal would be material comprehension, but I aim to also build students' own critical thinking and reading comprehension skills along the way.
