It’s time for history! I specialize in tutoring Advanced Placement U.S., European, and World History as well as all other levels of high school history including Dual Enrollment/Credit and college level. I have been studying and teaching history my whole professional life with a Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees in history. I taught all three AP history offerings in the classroom for five years and have been tutoring AP history on Wyzant since 2014. I am very confident that you could not find a more experienced and qualified history tutor than me.

AP History is a very challenging subject but the help of a good tutor can make a big difference. I personalize my approach by determining the student’s individual goals and how to achieve them during session. Commonly students want essential historical content summary either from the College Board key concepts or from specific textbook chapters. Students also seek guidance with specific homework assignments, papers and projects. Most often I help to prepare for class tests whether it is covering the study guide or discussing the types of prompts they will get and their associated rubrics. Of course, I also help students prepare for the national AP exam.

Students tend to either schedule regular weekly meetings or individual sessions as needed and I do my best to provide flexibility. All my sessions are taught on the Wyzant online learning platform however I will use Google Meets in certain circumstances. I also provide asynchronous history essay editing from high school through PhD level and offer a reduced rate if the editing can be done during normal school hours.

Don’t just take my word for it, please feel free to examine the parent and student testimonials and reviews posted on my profile. I am also happy to provide a free fifteen-minute consultation on Wyzant. Thank you again and good luck this year with the greatest classes in history: AP History!

Excellent WHAP and APUSH teacher

Preston helped my daughter with WHAP last year. He improved her grade to an A and helped her earn 5 on the AP Exam. So impressed with him that my daughter will continue with him for APUSH this year. She says in addition to him being extremely knowledgeable, he is also personable, kind, and above all ... he can easily tailor the sessions to each child's needs. Thank you Preston! :)

Best First Session

After my first session with Preston, I feel like I understand the content we covered so clearly. It was the most helpful session I’ve had with a teacher/tutor!

Rebecca, 8 lessons with Preston

Knowledgeable and resourceful teacher

Preston taught my daughter different techniques to answering multiple choice questions. He also pointed out strategies in answering a short answer question as compared to a long essay question. Preston and my daughter went through several practice questions together until she felt confident.

Knowledgeable and helpful

Preston has been a fantastic tutor for Honors U.S. History. My son was feeling shaky going into a big unit test, and Preston helped him understand the material with much greater clarity, gave him extra resources to look over, and really made him feel confident about his performance. Highly recommend!

Ace Teacher

My son is being tutored on AP Europe History. In just 4 sessions, He has learned a lot about how to write DBQ’s - much more detailed than his own teacher. After AP exam, My son confidently said that he will have at least 4 points.

Great at boosting my student's confidence!

Preston is expensive but WORTH IT! My student felt much more prepared for the AP World test after their session together (and I have no CLUE how a person provides tutoring in the subject of history-- but somehow, he does it!). Thank you, Preston!

Knowledgeable and able to quickly understand where I need help!

I've been struggling with the volume of new information in AP World. Preston helped me focus on the information that would be most important for my upcoming Unit Test and which questions to spend my time studying. I felt much better prepared on test day.
