Why me?  Being a life-long learner who firmly believes that “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest” (Benjamin Franklin), I have spent nearly twenty years working with students (teenagers and young adults), educating them to think critically, analytically, and to cultivate curious reflection.  I believe one of the goals of education is that it should help each student understand better his or her own greatest interest, or discover a new interest.  With over a decade of experience teaching U.S. history to AP, high school, and middle school students, my objective is to help each learner understand the basics of U.S. history, explaining how past events influence the present, and prepare them to serve as well-informed citizens.
