"Recruiting for small group AP prep now!

Hi! My name is Amy and I am a veteran history teacher (12 years!) and I live in Brooklyn, New York. Prior to teaching, I spent 8 years on Capitol Hill as a policy advisor. Teaching government comes naturally to me because I actually lived it.

While walking the halls of power was fun, I love working with students. I currently teach 9th grade global history and a 12th grade politics at a rigorous independent school in Manhattan. I have taught world and US history at the middle and high school level, and have taught AP World History and AP US History. I've tutored these subjects and AP US Government for over 8 years.

What do students love about working with me? I'll let my former tutees say it for themselves: I have a strong command for AP history material; I help students prepare in concrete ways for challenging, on-demand writing tasks; and I help ease student anxiety about exam prep. My students often learn more in their hour with me each week than with their actual teacher. (Feel free to read other student and family feedback to get to know me better!) While many of my students have earned 4s and 5s on their AP exams, just as many who have earned 3s (and happily!!) have expressed satisfaction with exceeding their own expectations with preparing for these rigorous courses and exams.

What else to say? I love teaching because I love seeing my students' development as thinkers and writers. I also love the relationships I have built with students, many of which will last a lifetime. I am excited to help you develop your skills and study habits! Hope to hear from you soon." less...
