About the tutor

Thank you so much for coming to my profile today. I am a well cultured individual that has had the unique opportunity to travel much of the World. I enjoy learning about new cultures and places and especially how History has impacted the development of a community. Starting from a young age I have always been fascinated by History and how civilizations have developed, prospered and then later declined. One of my favorite Ancient Civilizations is the Indus Valley in present day Pakistan due to being such a well-advanced society whose disappearance is not well understood. I also enjoy learning about and discussing World Politics, reading and occasionally writing articles. I have now been on Preply for 18 months and have greatly enjoyed meeting individuals from all over the World. Although I do not have any pets, I hope to get a dog one day 


I offer four courses on Preply that students can choose from: World Civilizations, Events in World History, World Politics and US History. These are courses that I have individually designed with my own materials. The courses are set up in a way that students can watch videos in advance, read scholarly articles, and then during class we can have a more in-depth discussion. My experience with teaching History is fairly extensive as I had first started as a classroom teacher through Teach for America in 2011.


I also offer English classes for those that do not enjoy History as much. For English classes, I choose to use the Preply material which I find to be very useful for students of all levels. I have taught a broad range of students English on here ranging from young children to much older adults. I have had some students consistently continue to return for over one year.


Having a solid understanding of History can help us to better understand the World around us and why things in the World are the way they are. I have seen a lot of improvement with students that use History topics to practice English and feel that this is an excellent way to improve English skills. When booking a lesson, let me know what type of course you would find to be the most interesting so that we can work together to come up with an individualized learning plan. Classes are open to all ages and abilities.

Specialties

  • Conversational English

    I have taught English online since November of 2019. I started with a company in China called VIPkid. This company gave me the skills to build Conversational English with young children. I was later able to improve this skillset here on Preply with adults from all over the World. I have had many students that have greatly blossomed with their conversational English skills.

  • Business English

    I have spent much time in the business World and have learned from mentors all around the World. I find business English to be very useful for English language learners as it gives us a practical foundation to have both conversation and learn ways to engage in better business. One of my favorite topics is with intercultural awareness which in our well-connected World is very important to understand.

  • IELTS

    I have helped many students on Preply to prepare for the IELTS exam and specifically with the speaking practice portions. I teach students how to organize their thoughts so as to receive the best possible score.

  • English for work

    I am able to help individuals improve work related English skills.

  • English for beginners

    I am a former history teacher that taught ESL students. I am well versed at how to help beginners improve basic English so that they can transition into more advanced studies or topics.

  • American English

    One of my favorite topics to incorporate into lessons is American Literature. We can use simple literature designed more for younger children or more complex novels depending on the goals of the student.

  • English for kids

    I have taught English to children from around the World and prefer thirty minute lessons if you are choosing me for your son or daughter. When I was with VIPkid, our lessons were twenty-five minutes in length which is an ideal amount of time for younger learners. Young children that are well focused also do well with longer lessons.
