I am Scott. I have two degrees, one in Political Science, the other in Secondary Education, Social Studies. I have 33 years of experience teaching U.S. History. Most recently, I taught A.P. U.S. History for 20 years at Charlottesville High School. While there, I received several awards including, Social Studies Teacher of the Year in the state of Virginia. My "happy place" was always working with my students as I shared my passion for history. Over the course of my career, I developed several strategies for successful writing. This component was always the most challenging for my students. I had great success in elevating my students writing. This was consistently reflected on their AP test scores.
My focus is on making the content come alive for students by making the topics relevant to our contemporary world. I believe that students learn most by directly involving themselves in the process. The "I do, we do, you do" model has always worked well for me. Now that I'm out of the classroom, I still want to work with students but now in a more one-on-one environment. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and look forward to working with your child. I am easy to reach and will always provide fast responses. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson.
