Teaching Method and Techniques
As a teacher with 15 years of experience and an MA in History, my teaching method focuses on developing students' critical thinking and writing skills across the curriculum. I employ a student-centered approach that encourages active engagement and analytical thinking. By using race, class, and gender as foundational lenses, I guide students to explore historical events and narratives critically. This approach helps students understand complex historical dynamics and fosters a deeper appreciation of diverse perspectives. I incorporate a mix of discussions, primary source analyses, and essay writing exercises to build these skills, ensuring that students not only learn historical facts but also develop the ability to articulate their insights effectively.
A Typical Lesson Plan
A typical lesson plan under my guidance begins with a brief overview of the historical period or event we will study, followed by a discussion on the key themes related to race, class, and gender. I then introduce primary and secondary sources for analysis, encouraging students to identify biases, perspectives, and historical context. We engage in a collaborative discussion to explore these elements, promoting critical thinking. The lesson concludes with a writing exercise where students articulate their analysis in a structured essay or a reflective piece, incorporating the day's themes. This method helps students enhance their writing skills while understanding historical complexities.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
What sets me apart as a tutor is my commitment to integrating writing and critical thinking into historical study. I focus on helping students develop a strong foundation in historical analysis through the lenses of race, class, and gender, which are crucial for understanding modern societal dynamics. My extensive teaching experience has equipped me with the ability to adapt my lessons to different learning styles, ensuring each student can engage meaningfully with the material. Additionally, my background in both humanities and education allows me to provide a well-rounded learning experience that prioritizes student growth and confidence in their analytical abilities.
Who the Lessons Are For
My lessons are tailored for high school and undergraduate students who are studying history or related humanities subjects. They are ideal for those preparing for exams, writing research papers, or needing support in developing their analytical and writing skills across the curriculum. I also work with advanced students who seek a deeper understanding of historical analysis through the frameworks of race, class, and gender. This includes AP History students, college freshmen, and sophomores looking to refine their critical thinking and academic writing abilities.
