Experience
I have 19 years of classroom experience, in American, European, and Latin American history. I taught for many years at Savannah State University, and before that as a teaching assistant at the University of Illinois. One-on-one tutoring was an essential part of both jobs. I consistently received good or excellent evaluations from my students. Essential to being a successful history student is having a good handle on reading, writing, and critical analysis. Even if you are not a history student, I would be happy to help you work on these skills, whether you are in high school or college. If you are struggling with a particular essay assignment, maybe I can smooth the road for you. I got perfect scores in both AP US History and IB History of the Americas (a long time ago!). I have taken the GRE twice and gotten 99% on the Verbal section both times. I can share my tricks with you. I enjoy individual tutoring a great deal and in my experience can make a huge difference for the student.
