"By now you've discovered that content knowledge is not enough to do well in the course. Things like memorizing your notes or the teacher's power points are insufficient. Each student must personally develop the skill sets needed for success. In addition to content knowledge, skills like critical reading, critical thinking, critical writing, information recall, organization, logic, comparison, vocabulary and overall subject matter fluency are needed. If you don't have these skills, then the good news is that with work and practice, they can be developed.
I am experienced. I grade the AP history exam for the College Board. I have taught and tutored AP World and APUSH for about 15 years. I train students in the skills which are needed to master the course.
Based upon a solid knowledge of content, I help the student develop the three historical reasoning skills of (1) comparison, (2) causation and (3) continuity and change over time (CCOT). These reasoning skills are specifically identified by the College Board and they appear on the AP exam. I can help each student develop strong personal skill sets for the test.
Good writing is vitally important. As a lawyer and college level writing teacher, I am confident that we can develop that skill - but it takes practice.
I have logged over 645 hours, received 118 reviews and I have earned a rating of 4.9 out 5. I offer students the opportunity to share my unique set of skills to help them succeed. I have a positive, upbeat and constructive attitude. I enjoy seeing my students develop their self-confidence and I am committed to your success. I’m a solid choice and a good fit." less...
