Most folks on Outschool know me for my military history courses, but in truth, the other side of my career is my tutoring business. I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching and I spent 18 years in the classroom in a prestigious private school. I have been tutoring learners ages 8-16 for over 15 years in English, math, social studies, writing and science. If you are looking for a friendly, understanding and compassionate educator, I might be what you are looking for to address your learner's academic needs. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a session! My mission is to make your learner understand and have fun at the same time!

Social Studies, ages 7-18, American history, European history, World history, Military history
English and grammar - ages 7-15, writing, editing, sentence structure, paragraph formation, grammar usage, 5 paragraph essays
