About
I have been a teacher for 27 years. I earned a multiple subject credential and single subject in social science. I have a BA in Anthropology and a MA in history. I can be very helpful with all history courses. I can also improve reading and writing skills. I also have strong research skills and can help you with your papers.
I enjoy helping students meet their academic goals. It is very statisfying to see a student become excited by the research process. Additionally, I have had great success in helping students improve their reading skills.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
It would depend on their age. If they are under 12 I would ask to meet with their parents. I would like to know their parent’s concerns. If they had current school work that would be helpful. I would want to discovery the areas of need.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have two current teaching credentials.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
No I don’t have a standard pricing system.
I would think 25 to 30 would be fair depending on the number of lessons per week.

I started out teaching in Cairo, Egypt. I was teaching refugees English.
