Bio

I taught history for 30 years in an independent boarding school in Connecticut. I am retired now and I miss teaching history and interacting with students very much. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Smith College and and I received a MA in History from Indiana University. I taught World, European and US history. I also taught AP European history. As department chair, I was responsible for developing and implementing the history curriculum.

I taught history for 30 years in an independent boarding school in Connecticut. I am retired now and I miss teaching history and interacting with students very much. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Smith College and and I received a MA in History from Indiana University. I taught World, European and US history. I also taught AP European history. As department chair, I was responsible for developing and implementing the history curriculum.

I love history and I love teaching. I believe that knowing history is essential to understanding yourself and your world. I was trained in European History but, like most teachers in small schools, I ended up teaching all kinds of history . It was a joy to "have to" learn new material and I can no longer say what my favorite history is.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Since I am retired, my schedule is very flexible and I will be happy to work around your needs.

Homeschool

In addition to tutoring AP European history, I have worked with a 12th-grade homeschooled student who wanted to be prepared to step into a college-level history course. The course was a modern European history survey with a heavy emphasis on cultural and intellectual history. As a history department chair in a small private school, I have much experience developing curricula, and I would enjoy working with secondary education students being homeschooled. This could be anything from a traditional survey course to an elective-style course focused on specific areas of interest.

Expert in Ap European History

Jill is very patient, understanding and an expert on everything in AP Euro. We are very fortunate to have found her through Wyzant. Jill cares for her students, explains the concepts very well and then follows through with questions to get feedback on the material. She knows exactly the strength and weakness of her students and strives to improve her students. Many times she made herself available last minute to help with test, quizzes and homework questions. I highly recommend Jill for AP European history, My daughter looks forward to her weekly tutoring sessions with Jill and has improved her knowledge with AP European history content and test taking skills already.

Explains things in a way my daughter understands

Jill and my daughter worked on a DBQ about Imperialism. My daughter had been struggling with the content and assignment and was stressed. Jill was able to help my daughter break down the assignment in manageable chunks and helped her to get a solid grasp of the content. She came away from the session feeling so much more at ease. Thank you, Jill!!!

Great AP Euro teacher

Jill is very knowledgable about AP European history and she is very passinate about teaching. My son had tutor sessions with Jill for three months so far. She truly cares to make sure the student understands the concept. She is organized, responsive to messages and dependable. She is also very acommendating, I usually message her and keep her updated about school academic requirements, she tried all her way to make sure to give us a customized learning experience. Due to her knowledge and fun way of teaching, my son likes history so much now. We had first semester final exam and my son got almost perfect score both on final project and assessment. Thankful to have found her and will continue to work with her.

AP EURO Expert Tutor

My son took few lessons with her to review AP Euro content and practice questions. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. She is patient going over the content. I definitely recommend her.

Very helpful and informational

Jill has helped me so much in understanding various topics from AP Euro. Before I signed up, I was struggling a lot in grasping and processing information while actually in my class at school. But, after I started getting tutoring from her, I have found myself able to remember things a lot more easily. She makes sure to cover general and specific topics that I request and goes into a great detail about them. She also sends websites and videos after lessons to provide extra resources while she is not tutoring me. A great tutor in all aspects!

Patient, knowledgeable, and great teacher

Even though I was behind any a semester on AP European History, Teacher Jill helped me get back on track. She taught me a lot and knew all the best resources to give me, and she was always patient with me. The way she teaches is she gives me very useful videos to watch and materials to read. Then every Saturday, we meet and she goes over everything I worked on during the week in greater detail. She also teaches me how to do DBQ’s, MCQ’s, and all those different types of questions on the AP exam. If you are doing AP European History online and you are struggling, I highly recommend Jill F. as your tutor!

Intelligent and great tutor

My son had an AP Euro lesson with Jill. She helped him to prepare DBQ test. First of all, she prepared for the lesson in advance and during the class, she was thorough and helpful to teach what he needed. After the first lesson, I immediately scheduled a second lesson. My son enjoyed asking questions and talking with her too. Thank you, Jill
