I have a diverse background of expertise in all varieties of history, literature, creative writing, and the English language, as well as a sincere, caring teaching style that encourages students to confidently tackle problematic subjects.

My teaching philosophy is to go beyond "teaching to the test".

I believe that once a student understands something at the conceptual level, he or...
