Hello, I'm Kathy. I am a high school social studies teacher and co-author of the Crash Course AP US Government & Politics study guide, as well as the iScore5 AP US Government & Politics study app. I have over ten years of experience teaching a variety of social studies classes at the high school level. My teaching experience includes US Government, US History, Sociology, and Practical Law. I have particular expertise in AP US Government & Politics, the US Constitution, and law-related classes. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and a secondary teaching certification, as well as Juris Doctor.

As an educator, I feel that my greatest strength is my ability to build relationships with students. I believe the key to helping students to understand and retain new material comes down to patience, the ability to relate new concepts to existing knowledge and life experiences, and using a variety of teaching strategies to facilitate understanding. I love working with high school students and young adults, and am confident that I can help anyone improve their understanding of political science concepts, constitutional principles, and legal topics. I have successfully helped hundreds of students to prepare for the AP US Government & Politics exam. Please message me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a session!
