I have more than a decade of secondary education experience in Advanced Placement European History, World History, and Art History. In addition I have been teaching history courses on Outschool for the past year and a half and have a wealth of both academic knowledge and practical experience teaching military history to students across a wide age range.
Although the content of this course will include the discussion of warfare, we will be focused on the academic understanding of military conflict.

Naturally, parents should use their judgement and understanding of their individual learner to decide if the course is right for them! If you have any concerns or questions about the content of the class, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to get back to you.
