"With 24 years of experience teaching AP U.S. History at a suburban high school in Connecticut, I bring a deep understanding of both content and pedagogy to my tutoring sessions. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education/History with a minor in psychology from Southern Connecticut State University and a master’s degree in American Studies from Trinity College. My extensive background includes attending and leading numerous professional development sessions on AP U.S. History, as well as serving as a reader and scorer for the AP U.S. History exam for the past two years. With a student pass rate consistently in the 80% range, I am well-versed in the strategies and skills necessary for success on the AP exam.

Beyond the classroom, I have worked one-on-one with hundreds of students, tailoring instruction to their individual needs. My approach is flexible, engaging, and interactive, ensuring that students not only master historical content but also develop strong analytical and writing skills. I prioritize creating a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and refining their understanding. Whether helping students grasp complex historical themes, improve their essay-writing abilities, or develop critical thinking skills, I am committed to guiding them toward success in AP U.S. History." less...
