History & Archaeology Expert (MA), Experienced Tutor, All Levels

Robert M.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in History from the University of North Texas and a Master's degree in Archaeology from the University of Cyprus, with minors in French and geography.

For the past four years, I have been teaching English to advanced speakers, helping them master the nuances of proper usage, grammar, and communication. My diverse educational background allows me to bring historical context and critical thinking skills to every tutoring session.

I have extensive experience working with students across all age groups and skill levels. My students have ranged from children as young as four to adult learners in their seventies, including elementary students, high schoolers, undergraduates, and graduate students. I have taught in traditional classroom settings, provided one-on-one instruction, and volunteered my time to help learners from various backgrounds succeed.

I believe effective tutoring meets students where they are. I use a combination of teaching methods tailored to each learner's needs:

Socratic questioning to help students think critically and discover answers themselves
Narrative-based learning that connects historical events to memorable stories and real-world context
Active recall and spaced repetition to ensure long-term retention of key concepts
Visual aids and timelines to help students visualize connections between events
Essay coaching and source analysis for students developing their writing and research skills

Whether you're struggling with a specific topic, preparing for an exam, or simply want to deepen your understanding of history, I'm here to make learning engaging, clear, and effective. Let's work together to achieve your goals!
