"Education: B.A. Princeton (Economics), M.A. Yale (political science), M.P.A. Harvard (Govt), J.D. Univ. of Houston (Law).

Experience: 25 years teaching AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, AP US History and AP Government/Politics.

The Council for Economic Education (NY) videotaped me teaching model lessons for their "Economics in US History" series. I stay updated by regularly attending College Board and Federal Reserve workshops.

I customize my teaching strategy to fit the way you learn best. I patiently engage students to express their preferences and frustrations. I am well versed in the College Board scoring criteria and practice questions. I stress the exam components, such as graphing and reasoning, and essential scoring details. I have tutored students who have relied totally on me to teach them the entire AP Micro and Macro courses and have scored 5s, as well as students who wish to enhance their performance supplemental to their school coursework.

I teach the social sciences like a meaningful story with relevance to our lives. The key to understanding concepts is to apply them to real world situations. My students have been successful through simulations such as the E Congress, the Fiscal Ship, and the Stock Market Game. I teach through active, hands on learning." less...
