Alyssa: Tenderloin tutor
Certified Tutor
I am a passionate educator with over a decade of experience helping students master U.S. History. As a former high school social studies teacher and current district-level instructional leader, I specialize in making complex historical content engaging, understandable, and relevant, especially for students preparing for the AP U.S. History (APUSH) exam.
I hold a Certificate in Social Studies Instruction (K-12), a B.A. in History, and an M.Ed. in Social Studies Education from Rutgers University. I've completed AP U.S. History training and have successfully guided students through honors-level U.S. History coursework, with a strong focus on critical thinking, historical analysis, document stimulus questions and writing DBQs and LEQs with confidence.
Whether you're aiming for a 5 on the exam, need help building stronger essays, or want to boost your class performance, I offer tailored support rooted in experience and empathy. I also bring a background in restorative practices and student wellness, so our sessions are structured, motivating, and stress-free.
