"Hello! My name is Dane and I'm currently a New Jersey–certified teacher, adjunct professor, and James Madison Fellow—here to make Advanced Placement® and college-level history clear, engaging, and (believe it or not) fun. During my 15 years in the classroom I have taught AP U.S., AP World, and AP European History, guided seniors through dual-enrollment courses, and coached countless students one-on-one to reach their goals.

Why work with me?

Deep expertise. I hold a Master’s in European History and a second Master’s in American History.

Proven results. Although no tutor can promise a score, my students consistently out-perform national averages—many earning coveted 4s and 5s—thanks to targeted skill-building and plenty of practice with real exam prompts.

Personalized approach. Every session is tailored: we might untangle textbook chapters, decode stimulus-based multiple-choice questions, or polish DBQ essays with line-by-line feedback.

Flexible options. Reserve weekly spots (popular during the school year), drop in as deadlines loom, schedule a one-time “exam-cram,” or submit essays asynchronously for detailed commentary—whatever fits your calendar.

Whether you need a roadmap for mastering rubrics, help synthesizing primary sources, or simply a confidence boost before test day, I’ll meet you where you are and move you forward.
