History

I can pretty much teach anything to anyone! My students have ranged from beginners through AP (Advanced Placement) and IB (International Baccalaureate) high school students.  The majority of my experience is in teaching Social Studies academics and electives to high school learners. I also like to teach about HOW to learn through mindfulness, time management, and tried and true study skills.

If there is a topic in the scope of middle and high school social studies that you are looking for, please send me a message and I may be able to create a class around your needs. 

Also, I am willing to set up classes to tutor kids in AP Psychology and AP World History. If there is a need, I am glad to meet it!

I pride myself on helping my students connect the content I teach to their lives. You won't find yourself asking, "Why should I care about this?" My experience teaching psychology has fostered an atmosphere that benefits the learner, no matter their age, experience, or attitude.

This transition to virtual learning that we were forced into has provided us all with the opportunity to tap into the vast resources available. I'm happy to share and explore with you!  My enthusiasm and joy for teaching has grown stronger as the way we teach and learn is changing.

Science and technology has costs and benefits throughout history. What is the difference between them, what are some examples, and how has it impacted events in history? 

Science and Technology in History

Trade is almost as old as history itself. Look at how it has changed over time and the impact it had on historical events.

Conflict is resolved in many different ways, from wars to peaceful resolutions. This video looks at examples in history that run the spectrum of conflict resolution.

Understanding the Role of Conflict in History

This is part one in a series that explores a variety of recurring concepts in history. Each week you will have the opportunity to explore one concept, starting with watching a narrated (by me!) video that defines the concept, provides many examples, and connects the concept to historical thinking skills (causation, chronology, change, and continuity.)  Then you will be given an (optional) assignment that allows for application and exploration while you find your own examples and connect them to other concepts. 
This lesson focuses on "Belief Systems" as they impact history. The enduring question we explore is, "What about religions and belief systems has stayed the same over the years, and what has changed?"

Understanding Belief Systems and Their Place in History
