"Helping students understand the past is one of my life passions. I have a PhD in History from UC Irvine and I am currently an assistant professor in history at a large public university. I have taught history at three other large public university, teaching classes on a very broad array of topics, guiding my students through everything from foundational historical concepts to advanced research and writing techniques. I can support students looking for tutoring in European History, World History, US History, and Human Geography.

I believe that history is more than just memorizing dates and facts. It’s about understanding the stories, contexts, and forces that have shaped the world we live in today. In my tutoring sessions, I aim to make history come alive. Whether we’re discussing the rise and fall of ancient empires or analyzing the causes of modern wars, I focus on connecting the dots between past events and their lasting impact on today’s world. My goal is to ensure that you don’t just learn the what of history, but also the why—why certain events happened, and why they matter.

I’m here to support students of all levels, whether you’re struggling to understand complex historical themes, need help with your essay-writing skills, or want to excel in AP History or standardized exams like the SAT and ACT. My approach is student-centered: I tailor each session to fit your unique learning style and academic goals. I use a variety of teaching tools, from primary sources and interactive activities to multimedia resources, to keep things engaging and ensure deep understanding.

Whether you’re looking for help with your AP history exam, need guidance on writing a research paper, or simply want to discuss historical topics in a more in-depth way, I’m here to help, with flexible scheduling to fit your needs.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session. I look forward to working with you and helping you gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of history!" less...
