About Riley


Bio

I have a bachelor's degree in History from the University of Dayton and a master's in Public History from Southern New Hampshire University. In grad school, I focused on how to make history interesting and understandable for people who aren't history nerds (yet), and that's the same skill I bring to tutoring: taking big, complicated topics and helping them actually click.

I have a bachelor's degree in History from the University of Dayton and a master's in Public History from Southern New Hampshire University. In grad school, I focused on how to make history interesting and understandable for people who aren't history nerds (yet), and that's the same skill I bring to tutoring: taking big, complicated topics and helping them actually click.

For the past two and a half years, I've worked as a museum educator at a Holocaust museum, where I lead tours, run group workshops, and help develop educational programs. I work with students from 4th grade all the way through college, in everything from school field trips to small-group discussions to one-on-one conversations. Teaching such a wide range of ages has taught me to read the room, adjust how I explain things, and meet people where they are.

I like to treat history as a story about real people, not just a list of dates to memorize. I help students see how events connect, work through primary sources without getting overwhelmed, and put their ideas into clear, confident writing. Whether you're studying for an exam, wrestling with a research paper, or just want history to feel less intimidating, I'll tailor our sessions to what you need, and questions are always welcome.

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

American history has always been one of my focuses. I studied it throughout my bachelor's in History at the University of Dayton and my master's in Public History at SNHU, and I love digging into the stories behind the big moments, from the Revolution and the Constitution to the Civil War, the Great Depression, and the Civil Rights Movement. I'm especially good at helping students see how events connect, like how one decision or conflict set the stage for the next, so it's not just a list of dates to memorize. I can help with AP U.S. History, college survey courses, and anything in between, including making sense of primary sources and writing strong DBQs and essays.
