Hey there, I'm Claire!
I have over 10 years of classroom teaching experience and I specialize in AP US History, US History, AP European History, AP Government and Politics, World History, and Sociology. I hold an Illinois Professional Educator License with certifications to teach middle & high school history. I graduated from Loyola University Chicago, with a B.A. in History and B.S. in Secondary Education, and I have taught in public and private schools. I also enjoy teaching & tutoring argumentative writing, and historical research writing. I love traveling, and usually plan vacations around historical markers and sites. I bring history alive in our conversations, by bringing these, and your own, experiences into our discussions. I have a proven excellent teaching record, a passion for all history, and empathy for students.

My goal as your tutor will be to foster ownership of your own learning by building on your experiences to make learning meaningful. I have excellent resources to help you conquer the AP US History or AP European History exam and can help you work on your DBQ, LEQ and SAQ writing. I will work with you to hone the skills that you need the most support with, and polish the ones you already are excelling in.

I am open to working with small groups of students, self study students, and homeschooled students.
I look forward to working with you!

Awesome tutor!

Claire is a great AP History tutor. She’s very friendly, proactive, knowlegeable and patient. My daugther was so impressed with Claire on her first lesson that we’ve been working with her ever since. She keeps me updated on the lessons so I know exactly what they went over and she goes above and beyond when it comes to making herself available to us and in trying to help my daugther as much as she can. I feel lucky to have found Claire and I’m sure that anyone that gets to work with her will feel the same way. Keep up the great work Claire!

Creative Teacher Adjusting to Student Needs

Claire provided terrific support to my son for most of his AP US History year. She provided structure for his studying and helped him find a way to engage with the topics that bored him. Claire improved James’ overall approach to studying for tests. My son appreciated the help throughout a challenging class.

Excellent AP US History Tutor

Claire tutored my daughter’s high school AP US History for 12 sessions in the past 3 months. She is professional and knowledgeable. She gave my daughter very clear guidance, boosted her confidence, and prepared her for the AP US History Exam. The videos of the lessons also help a lot for parents to understand what’s been taught in the tutoring sessions. Overall, it is a great experience with Claire. We strongly recommend her to other high school students.

Clair was great with Alexander. He is extremely nervous about his next exam and she helped provide a solid framework to study as well as build his current knowledge base. Thanks!

APUSH

Claire did an excellent job helping our daughter more easily understand AP History. She explained things more clearly and took the time to find out what are daughter was missing from her in school class.

AP US History savvy tutor

Claire was very helpful with getting my daughter organized to study for the AP US History test. It is a lot of material and can be very overwhelming but Claire helped break it down into digestible chunks. She had lots of strategies on ways to study and great ideas on sources of material. My daughter enjoyed working with her and felt prepared for the exam.

Great resource for our Scholars!

Claire is an amazing tutor who has really helped our students. She has navigated working with a group of students and getting their questions answered. We have positively seen their grades trend upwards since they’ve been meeting with her! We hope to continue working with her in the future.
