Experienced AP, SAT, and Collegiate Tutor

Jordan B.

I'm passionate about education, and I've spent over fifteen years delivering effective instruction in a variety of settings.

I began my teaching career with a middle school classroom, teaching history and writing, but I also launched a poetry club, a chess club, and coached two sports teams. While I was in law school, I served as a teaching assistant and research assistant for multiple professors, and I also volunteered with a literacy program for elementary-school students. In the years since, I have continued to operate as an independent tutor, with a focus on reading, writing, and history, and a teaching artist, providing educational performances and workshops.

As a teaching artist, I mix history and politics with rhythm and diction to create a spoken word mix I call "pulp non-fiction." I've been able to take this art on tour, performing in bookstores, bars, and universities; I bring that same energy, and enthusiasm, to working with students in all settings. I understand that stress from testing, or from the college application process, can be a major factor in performance - so I seek to make learning enjoyable, and to equip my students with strategies to help manage their stress!

I've designed specific, targeted strategies to help students with the SAT, ACT, and AP exams, and consistently seen both improved scores, and improved confidence. My AP tutoring experience includes Human Geography, World History, US History, European History, and US Government and Politics, as well as English Language and Composition.
I've also worked with college students on a variety of history and politics courses.
