I studied history throughout my entire college career. I was exposed to a vast selection of history courses that impacted me greatly. I focused exclusively on the U.S. from the migration of Native Ame... rican settlements until the end of Nixon's term and Southeast Asia from Spanish colonization in the Philippines until the Fall of Saigon. I am also well versed in the history of the Soviet Union and Nazi medical practices during that time including the Nuremberg trials. All of my history courses included having extensive knowledge of English and grammar skills. I am proficient in writing research papers, novel papers, and creative writing. I can help out students with skills in active reading and note taking. Many struggle to pull out important information because they get lost in the details. I have experience with writing biographies and autobiographies as well. I have a keen eye for detail and enjoy teaching students how to navigate dense material. There are many uncommon terms, irregular word usage, and Old English references that may be challenging for students to grasp. My main take away I want my students to have is developing critical thinking skills that last throughout their academic career. As a tutor, I am able to create an enjoyable learning environment that fosters absorption of important information while maintaining positivity and patience. Everyone has a different learning style and should never feel inadequate if they need some extra help! read more
