About

I am a high school teacher and have worked as a tutor for students in grades 3 through college. My particular interest is American history, and I enjoy reading current history books on subjects related to World War II, Civil Rights, the Kennedy era, women's rights, and other topics. History is a fascinating topic, and I hope to help students enjoy learning it. I've also worked with students on writing and understanding literature. I hope my explanations and answers make students' work more enjoyable.
