Experience
I am fascinated by history, and this fascination has led me not only to my bachelor's degrees in both History and French Language and Lit., but also to teaching this subject to others. I believe that many students struggle because history is often taught as a series of facts and dates, rather than one connected story with deeper meaning in each specific historical moment. I also have a strong passion for French language and the country's literature, which expanded my understanding of European history and love of literature and writing. I have tutored students in writing for the SAT's, and I know that it is very important for college test takers to be able to weave a narrative of the facts put in front of them. As a journalism student in the early part of my college career, I learned the importance of words to convey concise but meaningful stories, which really served me well once I became fascinated with History as a major. I maintain my love of literature outside the tutoring classroom through reading and travel. I also play a variety of games to keep my mind sharp, ranging from board games to football.
