Social Studies teacher with 4 years experience teaching and tutoring A.P. History, Political Science, and Geography.
I have a Masters Degree in Education with a focus in developing lessons that promote historical thinking for diverse learning styles. I have Bachelor’s Degree in History and extensive course work in Psychology, Political Science, and Sociology. I have taught A.P. U.S. History, European History, Minnesota History, U.S. Government, and Geography to student’s from 5th grade through 12th grade. I also have done work with gifted and talented, and ELL students. I have been a regional and state History Day judge for 11 years. My tutoring strategies do require some reading but also use multimedia content, activities, discussions, online research, and thematic approaches. My some of my methods and materials use visual organizers, scaffolding, and other comprehension strategies. Because of my advance education, I can develop our tutoring sessions to support your student’s curriculum in a fun way and motivate your student to achieve the success they desire.
