Experience
As a former middle school and high school history teacher, I feel that it is extremely important for every student to have a basic grounding in United States and World History, as well as World Geography. While each of these subjects is different, they are also all intertwined. For a student to be a good citizen of the world, they need a basic understanding of their country and how their country is viewed by others. I also believe that Geography, especially the cultural aspect of Geography is important for every student to learn. In my teaching experience I have worked with students who were identified as at risk for failure, students with special needs, Honors students and everything in between. I am passionate about helping any student who recognizes that they need help and who is willing to seek out that assistance and will tutor them in any subject they require, even if I need to do my own research and tutor myself in the subject first. Personally I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from Butler University in Indianapolis, IN and I have taken courses at Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Richmond to gain more information about different aspects in history. These include the view of women during the Civil War, the role of the Supreme Court in United States politics and how politics affects economics in various parts of the world. Outside of academia I enjoy reading, working in my garden and playing with my children. I am also learning to sew and would like to learn how to knit.
