Homework
1 hour per week. Read, experience, investigate and question! While homework will not be officially assigned, I will be encouraging outside discoveries of history. Whether the student is reading for school, reading historical fiction, or reading historical non-fiction, the continued practice of reading and logical questioning is crucial.Class Experience
I am a licensed elementary and HS history educator with multi-grade level experience World, American, Texas, and Indigenous Peoples histories. I will hone in on the necessary skills for a complete understanding of the historical concepts of a region or era. History is the study of the past, but it is not discovered in a dusty book with memorized timelines and dates. Rather history should be studied in context with historical figures discussed as people and places of the world seen and experienced in best ways possible. History comes alive for me and that is something I convey to my students too. Working with the parent, we will establish goals for the student. Whether those specific goals be World Civilizations and histories, understanding America's role in the context of the greater world around us, American history and its multi-sided components, U.S. State specific histories, or something specific the parent requests. In this one-on-one class, the student will receive the individualized instruction for the student's specific needs to succeed. I will utilize paper materials (PDF will be delivered to you ahead of time), books (hard copy, E-reader, or other online source), music and songs, and YouTube video clips. I will quickly access prior knowledge and build from there. I would be happy to answer any of your questions and/or concerns; please feel free to message me. I look forward to helping you and your child succeed!

Hello from Texas! Although I am currently residing in Texas, we move quite often and that has allowed me to have many different types of career experiences. I have tutored privately and through well-known organizations; taught in the public school classroom setting with a self-contained classroom; substituted and interned in private school classroom settings; instructed at the community college level; assisted with museum operations; and homeschooled my three munchkins. I have worked with early education all the way up to the community college level. I have a bachelor's of education and a master's of American History with a concentration in Native American studies
