"I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. Having worked in education through my entire career, first in university enrollment management and then as a high school social studies teacher, I have worked with thousands of students, supporting them in mastering history, government and psychology concepts, as well as helping them polish their research and writing skills.

I have taught US Government, economics, American history, sociology, psychology, and several other courses, and am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy.

In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, college essays, and graduate literature reviews and research papers. Through the completion of a master's degree in learning and instruction, I have learned that teaching is best when it helps students develop the ability to regulate their own learning and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond." less...
