James

Certified Tutor

Hi there! I've been teaching and tutoring for over 12 years, and I absolutely love history. It's been a passion of mine since I was a kid, which is why I pursued a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in the subject. I've taught a variety of topics, from World Societies to AP U.S. History, and I truly believe that history is more than just memorizing dates. It's about learning how to think critically and write effectively. By teaching my students these skills, I'm helping them succeed not only in history but in all areas of their lives. I've taught or tutored in American History, European History, Critical Writing, African History, World History, Government, and Economics. If you choose me as your tutor, I promise to be fully invested in your success and growth as a student.
