I have taught AP subjects online for Five Years and IB subjects for Three. My college concentration was Cold War relations between the US and USSR.

I have taught both History of the Americas and History of South East Asia for Paper Three. Having taught AP US and World History, I have a lot of experience with using documents for any of the Paper One Topics.

Testimonials

In the middle of the school year, one of our teachers resigned unexpectedly. Mr. McSween was given an
extra duty of teaching one of the classes. My daughter (aged 15) is always telling me how impressed she
is by Mr. McSween. He inherited a mess; however, within a week, he had reorganized the class, started
teaching real content and had added an element of creative, higher learning as well. Within three
weeks, my daughter once again says that history is her favorite subject. She enjoys the fact that Mr.
McSween doesn’t just focus on the facts of history. Instead, he asks students to see the whys and to
make connections to current events. History becomes relevant.
