Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping young people, because it's the best way that I know to make the world a better place. I always approach my work with this question at the forefront of my mind: what is best for the student?

I have been a high school teacher for more than 20 years and I currently hold a valid teaching license from the State of Iowa with endorsements in following areas: All Social Studies, French, and Arabic. Throughout my career, I have taught students (grades 9 to 12) AP US Government, US Government, AP US History, US History, Non-Western World, World Issues, AP Psychology, French 1 to 4, and Arabic 1 to 4. Much of my teaching experience has been at Ames High School, in Ames, Iowa, the top-ranked school in the state for many years running. I have also taught Middle East History and Government at the collegiate level.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from California State University, Northridge; and a Master of Arts in International Affairs from the Elliott School of International Affairs at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. I have also taken advanced French grammar courses at Simpson College, and Arabic courses at the Middle East Institute in Washington DC, and at the Arabic Language Institute in Fes, Morocco.
