I received a Master of Studies degree in U.S. History from Oxford University and was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in History & Literature from Harvard University. Following the completion of my Master's degree program, I taught a summer school course with an organization called Oxford Royale Academy. Over the course of two months, I instructed international students ages 16-18 about contemporary, post-1945 history. We covered the use of primary and secondary documents for the study of history as we addressed topics such as the dissolution of empires, the aftermath of World War II, Cold War politics, comparative government structures, conflict in the Middle East, and the modern history of terrorism. I graded and evaluated papers and presentations from each pupil. While I am especially interested in covering history and literature with students, I am available and quite happy to help with writing, reading, and study skills, as well. Additionally, I received a language citation from Harvard certifying my fluency in Spanish and would be glad to assist students with their grammar homework. My personal philosophy with teaching is that is crucial to allow students to try to articulate the source of their confusion, to assess what parts of the material they do understand, and to guide them through the process of building their own knowledge. Furthermore, it is important to me that students set their own goals and feel comfortable explaining to me what they hope to gain during our tutoring sessions. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, traveling, writing, reading, and taking photographs around the city.
