Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring students in AP World History since 2013, starting while I was an undergraduate at Columbia. My journey began as a peer tutor, where I helped fellow students navigate the complexities of historical events and develop strong analytical skills. After completing my Master’s, I expanded my tutoring to include both AP and IGCSE levels, focusing on helping students achieve top marks in their exams.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of students, from those just beginning to explore World History to advanced learners preparing for university-level studies. My experience includes both one-on-one tutoring and leading small group sessions, where I tailor my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each student. My students consistently score highly on their exams, with many achieving perfect scores in their AP World History exams.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is rooted in making historical material relevant and engaging for my students. I believe that understanding the broader context of historical events is crucial for developing a deep understanding of the subject. I use a variety of teaching methods, including case studies, discussions, and real-world applications, to bring history to life.

I also emphasize critical thinking and analytical skills, encouraging my students to question assumptions and think deeply about the material. By focusing on these skills, I not only help students excel in their exams but also prepare them for future academic and professional challenges.

Testimonials

"I was struggling to keep up with the pace of the class and felt overwhelmed by the amount of content, but Dax broke everything down into manageable parts. His way of explaining historical events made them so much more interesting and easier to remember. I ended up scoring a 5 on my AP exam, something I never thought possible before working with Dax!"
