I have been a Military History enthusiast for the past 40 years. From collecting (and reading) books, military scale models, table-top wargaming, role playing games, to studying and writing - this exciting topic has thoroughly captured my imagination. I presently hold a M.A. in Military History from American Military University and have taught a variety of History courses which include a great deal of Military History. I am a certified (7-12) Social Studies teacher and have taught a variety of honors level courses (AS/A Level, GCSE, I.B. and A.P.) in both private and public schools over the past 30 years. Historical writing, source analysis, and exam preparation as well as an immersive approach to the study of history has made my classes both meaningful and enjoyable. My tutoring experience has spanned the entire 21st century with ACT, SAT, SSAT, ISEE, A.P. Histories, and Subject Tests.
Homework Offered
Regular, weekly reading assignments in advance of the class are required. These may consist of a chapter, a scholarly article, or another reading assignment. The assignment, plus requisite notes should take the student no longer than one hour. The student will be asked once per unit to conduct a battle or campaign analysis to demonstrate understanding of the terms, principles, and concepts discussed throughout the unit. A research assignment will be given, periodically to investigate (in-depth, breadth, and context) major aspects of Military History.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
