I customize my teaching strategy to fit the way you learn best. I patiently engage students to express their preferences and frustrations. I am well versed in the College Board scoring criteria and practice questions. I stress the exam components, such as graphing and reasoning, and essential scoring details. I have tutored students who have relied totally on me to teach them the entire AP Micro and Macro courses and have scored 5s, as well as students who wish to enhance their performance supplemental to their school coursework.
I teach the social sciences like a meaningful story with relevance to our lives. The key to understanding concepts is to apply them to real world situations. My students have been successful through simulations such as the E Congress, the Fiscal Ship, and the Stock Market Game. I teach through active, hands on learning.

American History

American History

I have made the study of American History come alive for my high school and college students over the past 19 years. My students learn history as a fascinating, unfolding story that is relevant to our lives. For AP US History, I focus on distinguishing the subtleties of multiple choice responses, reading documents insightfully, and writing clear, well supported free responses. I use the College Board teacher materials.
Government & Politics

Government & Politics

I have made the study of government and politics come alive to high school and college students by connecting principles to real world events. I hold a B.A. in Public affairs/Economics from Princeton, a Masters in Political Science from Yale, an MPA in public policy/administration from the JFK School of Government at Harvard, a J.D. from Univ. of Houston College of Law.

I have coached student teams in the Fed Challenge, and the National Economics Challenge, where my team placed 4th in the nation!

Superstar Econ Tutor!

If you’re even thinking about a tutor in Economics for your student, look no further! Our daughter took several tutoring sessions in her senior year of high school with Mrs. B, covering both AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics, over a period of 3 months. Mrs. B. is an amazing teacher - clearly very experienced in teaching the AP curricula for Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. She is highly qualified, thorough, flexible, and always prepared for her sessions. I’m so glad we found Mrs. B! Her tutoring gave our daughter a measure of continuity and helped sustain her interest in her academic classes during a difficult and stressful time in her senior year. Mrs. B. met our daughter where she was, and helped her cover material she had missed due to a medical leave of absence. Her teaching helped give our daughter the confidence to study the AP Economics content during her absence from school, and to keep up with her schoolwork. Our daughter decided to take the AP exams, and got a 5 on both AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics, and an “A” for AP Economics on her final high school transcript. More importantly, she is able to use the Econ concepts she learned in day-to-day conversations, and is able to apply her learning to analyze current events. Our daughter is now attending her first choice of university, and is very grateful to Mrs. B. for her tutoring and support in senior year.

An profoundly knowledgable tutor who teaches the subject and can teach to the AP test.

Macro and Micro economics, and she comes prepared with charts and worksheets. Mrs. B explains thoroughly yet concisely, and I'm asking my dad for daily lessons with her leading up to the AP exam.

Knowledgeable and helpful

Mrs B explained macro economic concepts much better than my teacher giving me confidence. I'm meeting with Mrs. B again to get ready for a quiz. I higly recommend Mrs B!

Frieda spent time with my son and really explained the concepts. He said she explained it so well ad he enjoyed working with her. She is responsive, flexible and really cares about the student! She has different ways to teach so that if a student doesn't understand she really can help them understand. My son said she was one of the best tutors he has worked with and scheduled another session with her immediately. Highly recommend her!!

Amazing Tutor!

Freda has tutored children over the summer for AP Economics. They entered with little to no knowledge about the subject and have learned so much in a short period of time which they will be able to apply to their classes this year. Thank you, Freda!
