Experience
I earned my PhD in European history at the University of Chicago in Illinois in 1995. Since graduation, I began teaching continuing education and university courses. I use my lessons to help students learn to engage with the materials, improving their analytical, critical thinking, and organization skills. I firmly believe that writing is a critical skill that is invaluable to a student's success in academia, as well as the professional world. My favorite subject to tutor students in is writing and English. I can work with a student to help them formulate their thesis, train them in using Chicago and MLA styles, and to find and analyze evidence to compile a solid written argument. I strive to present new and old concepts in a way that is fun and interesting. I can offer support to improve their college essays, teach them the nuances of analytical writing, and help them prepare for standardized tests, including the LSAT and GRE subject tests. My students have gone on to attend Ivy league schools and successful careers. I enjoy working with students to give them the confidence and knowledge necessary to achieve their goals. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy watching live theatre and college basketball.
