Elena's Religious Studies degree from McGill and Biblical Studies master's from Edinburgh mean she spent years doing exactly what history demands — interpreting ancient texts, reconstructing cultural contexts, and arguing about what sources actually reveal versus what later generations assumed. She ...

Dillon teaches history the way he learned to approach engineering problems — by asking what caused what, who benefited, and what evidence supports the claim. As a high school teacher pursuing an education administration degree, he's steeped in how historical context shapes modern institutions, parti...

A background in political science, public policy, and law means Jera reads history the way historians do — as a series of causes, consequences, and competing interpretations rather than a list of dates. She teaches students to build evidence-based arguments about historical events, a skill that pays...

Software engineering teaches you to debug complex systems by tracing problems back to their root causes — Michael applies that same logic to history, showing students how to follow chains of political, economic, and social factors that led to major events. His CS background also means he's unusually...

Trace's comparative law studies at the Sorbonne and Cornell required deep engagement with European, American, and international political history — from constitutional founding documents to the evolution of criminal justice systems. He teaches students to analyze historical events through primary so...

Three years teaching 5th through 8th graders means Michelle knows exactly where students get lost in history — usually when they're asked to stop recalling facts and start explaining why events unfolded the way they did. Her Notre Dame science-business background trained her to think in systems and ...

Reading primary sources is the skill that separates students who memorize history from those who actually understand it. Karen's English literature degree trained her to dissect arguments, identify bias, and place documents in context — exactly what's needed to write strong historical essays and eng...

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insigh...

Ishaan approaches history as an exercise in argument — every event has competing interpretations, and the skill is learning to weigh evidence and explain causation. He's particularly strong at teaching students how to structure document-based responses and connect specific events to broader politica...

I am a recent graduate with a master's in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University. I won the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship which covers full tuition up to Ph.D. I was on the Dean's List for three consecutive years. Additionally, I won the OZY Media Genius Award in...

Four years as a scholar-athlete at Ohio State — balancing a demanding Exercise Science curriculum with Division I football — taught Nikolas how to absorb large volumes of material quickly and explain it clearly to teammates who learned differently than he did. He brings that same approach to history...

Treating history as a set of arguments rather than a list of dates changes how students engage with the material. Seung teaches students to read primary sources critically, identify cause-and-effect chains, and build evidence-based claims in their writing. His wide reading habit means he can connect...

Pre-health coursework at Ohio State means Olivia spends a lot of time studying how scientific discoveries, public policy, and social conditions intersect — which is essentially what history asks students to do with any era. She brings that cause-and-effect thinking to essay prompts and primary sourc...

Studying Chinese culture and its intersections with global events gave Nora a cross-cultural lens that makes history feel less like a list of Western dates and more like a web of connected causes. She teaches students to analyze primary sources and build arguments that go beyond "what happened" to e...

Studying history well means reading like a lawyer: evaluating sources for bias, weighing competing accounts, and constructing arguments from evidence. Nathan applies the same analytical rigor he developed in his Natural Sciences program to historical reasoning, teaching students to break down docume...
