About Victor

I have been teaching history for over 30 years at the university level, especially fresh arrivals from high school, so I have a good understanding of what students have learned or need to know to succeed. Since 2014 I have been a rater for the AP European history exam, where I have gained a solid understanding of what essay tactics work and what do not. In addition to my teaching I am a published expert on nationalism and democratization in 19th Century Europe based on primary sources in German, Polish, and Ukrainian.

About the lesson

One-on-one and small group preferred. Socratic or seminar discussion method based on material. Lessons start with questions about factual aspects of the material to assess understanding. Once basic understanding is clear, a shift is made to analysis and comparison, perhaps a short writing assignment. Introduction and discussion of new material. In an era where history is less relevant than STEM, I bring a commitment to history as a discipline that develops empathy and understanding of people different from ourselves. Willing to work with all levels, but particularly eager to work with high school students and college students who are struggling. Also happy to share my understanding of the AP, especially with help on DBQ and FRQs.

Perfect! Victor is a dedicated scholar and historian who excels at helping students craft well-structured and insightful articles. He provided me with a wealth of effective advice and thorough editing, which not only deepened my understanding of writing but also helped me better grasp how to structure a well-crafted history paper. I believe he is highly capable of guiding various academic writing projects, especially those related to history.

Perfect! Victor is an exceptional history teacher with extensive experience in teaching AP History, including a deep understanding of how AP examinations are conducted. He is very friendly with students and takes the initiative to bond with them. Scheduling classes with Victor is always seamless, as he is prompt in responding to messages and often accommodates our scheduling requests on short notice. My student plans to take AP European History either next year or in their senior year, and we will definitely seek Victor's services again.

Victor's response
Kyle is always prepared and ready to work. It is a pleasure going over the course material with him. He might consider doing a bit more background reading in preparation for our sessions, but it seems to be the lack of guidance from his prof on that front that has led him to seek help.

Victor is an outstanding teacher. I brought him in to teach history part-time at Empire State College on Long Island, and he was simply excellent in terms of his work with students, his ability to keep them engaged, and his incredible knowledge and love of history.
