Develop a deeper understanding of U.S. history, world history, government, and civics through personalized one-on-one tutoring.
I work with middle school, high school, and college students who need help with coursework, exams, essays, presentations, or simply understanding challenging historical and political concepts. Lessons are tailored to the student's curriculum, level, learning style, and goals.
Rather than focusing only on memorizing names and dates, I help students understand the bigger picture: Why did events happen? What were their consequences? How are political, economic, cultural, and technological developments connected? And how does history help us understand the world today?
Topics can include U.S. history, world history, European and Asian history, U.S. government and the Constitution, civics, comparative government, international affairs, and related social studies subjects.
Before transitioning into education, I spent 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, living and working in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught in the United States and abroad, served as a graduate teaching assistant at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland. I am currently completing Virginia's EducateVA Career Switcher Program as I transition into education.
My goal is not simply to help students improve their grades, but to help them become more confident learners who can analyze evidence, recognize connections, and explain historical and political ideas clearly.

Learn world history, international relations, and political science from a former U.S. diplomat with 16 years of professional experience in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C.
This class is designed for high school and university students, adult learners, and anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of how international affairs, politics, economics, and diplomacy actually work. Lessons can be tailored to your interests, academic coursework, or professional goals.
Topics can include international relations and foreign policy; diplomacy and negotiation; the United Nations and other international organizations; U.S. government and foreign policy; international security; global economic and technology issues; cross-cultural communication; and the relationship between history and current world events.
My teaching style emphasizes understanding and discussion rather than simply memorizing facts. We'll examine why countries and leaders make the choices they do, how governments negotiate and cooperate, and how historical and cultural factors shape today's world.
Before transitioning into education, I served for 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, with assignments in China, Indonesia, Madagascar, Chad, and Washington, D.C.
