Hello, I'm Amanda and I am a Brown University graduate available for hire to tutor English and History. I am qualified to tutor American, World, and European History as well as ESL, TOEFL, Writing, Reading, Literature and the SAT Writing test. At the present moment I am a doctoral candidate in History and have previous experience tutoring high school students in History, English, and French. I am also a guest lecturer at St. John's University for a freshman world history course and can read English, French, Latin, and Ancient Greek. I will also be a speaker this spring at the World History Theory and Practice conference this May in Manhattan. I am also a former Advanced Placement Scholar with Honor in History and English and scored a 750 on the SAT Writing test as well as scoring in the 95th percentile on the GRE Verbal section. In the past, I have worked as a writer/editor for a music magazine and earned a master's degree in History from the New School for Social Research where I worked as a research assistant.
