Experience
Since 2010, I've been a teacher at Olney High School in Philly but I was laid off over the summer (exasperating budget cuts). Good History teachers are definitely undervalued - especially since the school reform movement and it's emphasis on STEM. If your child is having any issues at all in any type of History class, I certainly can help them. Whether their problem is lack of understanding content, inability to focus, low motivation, I've had years of experience facing all these challenges and I have proven strategies that can help. I am especially good at figuring out how to relate the subject to the student and make it interesting. Your child will develop their own intrinsic motivation as they understand History on a deeper level and as a result, their reading and writing skills will dramatically improve along with grades. Our first meeting will be free just to make sure we are a good match.
