Years of tutoring across math, science, French, and language arts gave Ariel something most history tutors don't have — the ability to pull from multiple disciplines when explaining why events unfolded the way they did. Her psychology training at Brown is especially relevant here, since understandin...

Eleven years of studying French — including living abroad in a Francophone country — gave Abby an intuitive sense of how language, culture, and historical context are inseparable, which she brings to teaching history through close reading of documents and their cultural backdrop. Her Education Studi...

Studying literature from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics at Brown gave Hasan an unusually deep grounding in the cultural and political contexts that drive historical change.
