Award-Winning History Tutors serving Raleigh-Durham, NC

...what not to do. In teaching my own students, I focus on the same. To me, History is the story of the past, the people and places that made it what it was, not the rote memorization of facts, dates, names, and outcomes. Using those stories, I help students learn to make connections between past events, people, and places as well as seeing how those events, people, and places impact today's world. Story, therefore, is...

I tutor one college friend in some of her college courses. I tutor math, science, social studies, as well as history. I also do tutor classes such as coding, as well as computer programs.

...understand these subjects. I believe strongly that if a student can be shown why something is the case, he or she will be more successful at, and interested in, the subject as a whole. Helping students become "learning detectives," who get to the bottom of each topic they are learning, is one of my biggest passions. In my spare time, I love to pull out my books of Chopin or Beethoven sonatas and play the...

...New Mexico two different summers at Philmont Scout Ranch. My interest in dentistry became even greater since I have volunteered at nine Mission of Mercy dental clinics over the past five years. This gave me the opportunity to help assist dentists and dental students in extremely interesting cases close up. I also made a few friends with the current dental students and dentists in North Carolina during my time at these clinics. I understand that...

...ACT prep, because I like to see students scores on practice exams, and the actual exams, improve as we work together. My favorite part about tutoring overall is working with students and getting to see their excitement when they realize they've figured out how to do something they previously didn't think they could. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy going to the gym and reading. I've played soccer since I was 4 years old, and I...

...keeping an open-door attitude and creating an environment conducive for student learning. I believe strongly that faculty who connect with students and their lives outside the classroom will be most effective in designing curriculum that is relevant and engaging. Furthermore, the better I understand students’ cultural contexts the stronger the student-faculty relationship can be built. Thus, an integral part of my teaching practice requires that I make efforts to develop a high level of cultural...

...a particular focus on comparative politics, writing, and statistics. The study of politics has always been my passion for as long as I can remember. Statistics, on the other hand, was a bit of a struggle, but I persevered and am now an expert in the field. Given my own uphill battle with the subject, it is now one of my favorite areas to tutor I have a great deal of sympathy for anyone struggling...

...them more simple. I have been trained as a historian of the Italian Renaissance, and concentrate on the Republic of Venice, which some popular accounts claim lasted for a thousand years, from 797 to 1797. I think old-fashioned political and diplomatic history is the cat's meow! I disagree profoundly with the view that it is not relevant to the study of history today. I also like to mold and fashion Renaissance people among my students,...
