"With over 10 years of teaching experience, I bring a very straight forward approach to studying history. Using linear concepts, I show how events combine to create other events. Hence, I use a very thematic approach that easily adapts to specific historical situations. I have taught all survey history classes.

"With over 10 years of teaching experience, I bring a very straight forward approach to studying history. Using linear concepts, I show how events combine to create other events. Hence, I use a very thematic approach that easily adapts to specific historical situations. I have taught all survey history classes. I begin with World and Western civilization with the Neolithic period around 10,000 years ago and go up to the post-modern era of today. I specialize in American History with a a focus on the post Reconstruction period to the present. In addition, I have a specialization in Modern World History 1492 to 1914. I also offer classes in the post World War I period up to the present. In addition, I have an aptitude to teach Modern Asian and Latin American themes. My approach is to help students develop higher learning skills that can be used in their other subjects as well as obtaining a better understanding of history and the elements that surround it.

Hence, what makes me a good teacher is that I work with students to assess their strengths, build upon those strengths, and use those elements to find the best method to study this subject. This is not a long process. But in the end it will help students to be: Reflective practitioners, those who think independently; Collaborative thinkers, those who become good listeners and analytical/sympathetic readers; Effective communicators, those who can write and speak effectively; Finally, Persons who appreciate a diverse subject matter obtaining a sense of value in their knowledge and pride in their acquired knowledge.

It sounds like a large task. But, it is one that I can easily adapt and offer to students who need aid in studying the subject of history. I do offer good studying techniques and methods that provide students ways to understand not just the What but also the Why, Who, and How." less...
