About
I graduated cum laude from Boston University with a degree in history in 2006. More recently, I've been working as a teacher for almost four years and in that time, I've moved from classroom to individual and back again. I have experience teaching all AP History tests, AP English lit/lang, and the SAT writing/critical reading sections in addition to individual coursework. More than anything, I love helping students learn - I love finding answers, providing ideas, and enjoying their connections!
