Who am I?Although neither formally taught how to teach as a whole, my experience with tutoring classmates is quite extensive. Throughout high school and currently in college, I provide my knowledge on historical topics ranging from World History to Survey of History courses. Either as a group or on an individual level, my peers would come and ask for assistance if they ever had trouble understanding a concept.
What sets me apart from the day-to-day teachers of history is the passion and dedication I have towards the discipline. When students normally think of History courses, the images of boring lec... tures and unrelatable figures come to mind. That is something I have strived to change when Interacting with both my fellow historians and the general public. History should be something engaging and interactive, not just a tidal wave of information unconnected from the modern world. As such, I model my tutoring pattern off of this motto, doing what I can to prevent my assistance from being cumbersome and actually make it something interesting. Though my official academic experience is limited at best, the amount of time spent working with other students to understand a complex sociopolitical issue makes up for it.
My qualifications include passing both of my Survey of History courses with an A or above. In addition to having above-average grades in my general Survey courses, I also maintained an A within my Historical Studies course. When discussing history with students looking for help, my main strategy is to review what they already know about a subject and bring in additional elements slowly and with relevant trivia to relate it to. Bombarding someone with information is not an effective way of having that knowledge retained. As such, I refrain from just throwing volumes of words and hoping something sticks, rather bringing in missing information and clarifying any misinformation present. I now currently have experience tutoring through Chegg inc as well.
