Experience
Tutoring Experience: Led history tutoring sessions for the AP tests in High School (European and World), scoring a 4 on either test. Also tutored for collegiate level history courses, mostly in European History and Military History AP Scores: 4 on the AP World and European History tests, 4 on the AP English Literature and Language tests Why: I adore history, it's my absolute passion and I quite enjoy instilling the awe of the past in people; History can be explained like a story, seeing others enjoy the story and get involved in it fills me with a professional pride. Given the opportunity to, I would engage students in a way that makes the historical timeline engaging and personal, which can also assist them in remembering the details. I also have substantial experience writing, which is the cornerstone of all communication and thus another topic I'd like to address. Relevant Classes: As a History Grad, I believe that all my classes were quite relevant to the tutoring of history, writing, and sociological/anthropological subjects. Impressive Items: Taught Renaissance History and Historical Martial Arts to the general public for 4 years

Hobbies
I enjoy reading historical books in my free time, practice European Martial arts quite often and have been doing so for the past 6 years, was a former actor in my down time, and a certified teacher in the state of Florida. Really can't tell you how absolutely much I adore European History and how much of my time goes into research related to it.
