"Hi, I'm Zach, I am an experienced and passionate Social Studies educator with twelve years of classroom experience at both the middle and high school levels. I hold a bachelor’s degree in History and a master’s degree in Secondary Education, and I have served as an AP exam scorer, which gives me valuable insight into exactly what AP readers look for in SAQs, DBQs, LEQs, and thesis development. Over the years, I have supported students through one-on-one tutoring, small-group AP review sessions, and customized study planning to help them grow in both confidence and performance.

In my tutoring, I help students move beyond memorization by building historical thinking skills, source analysis abilities, and argumentative writing strategies. I focus on teaching students how to think like historians, make meaningful connections between events, and apply their knowledge effectively on assessments. Whether a student needs help understanding key concepts, improving writing for free-response questions, or building big-picture connections, I provide clear guidance and proven methods that lead to success.

If you are looking for targeted academic support, exam preparation, or help strengthening writing and analytical skills in any Social Studies course, I would love to help you succeed. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session." less...
