This is an On-Going Outschool class (Private Tutorial) which focuses upon the student's declared interests in Military History. There are several approaches to this class which the student and parent should consider when making a request for a tutorial. Upon deciding which approach is best please allow a week or two for me to prepare a tailored class for your learner. This class will meet once a week on a days and times convenient for the learner and instructor. During the hour tutorial,...
The student will gain a better understanding of the use of military technology in civilian life. The student will learn how to "reconstruct" a battle using historical research. The student will learn about how technology plays a key role in military affairs. The student will learn about the Art of Command. The student will learn how political, social, economic and other factors play a key role in Military History. The student will learn about armed conflict at all levels of warfare: strategic, operational, and tactical. The student will learn about the application of military technology and decision making throughout history.
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.
Presumably the use of military technology for civilian use will not incur any highly emotive scenarios. Perhaps the discussion around the development and use of the atomic bomb prior to discussing the civilian application of nuclear power may be a concern. Understanding the scope and course of this project there will be no need to dwell upon potentially upsetting issues.
