About Brian

I am a dedicated educator with a unique background that combines professional and academic expertise. Before becoming a full-time teacher, I earned my Juris Doctor (JD) and practiced law for several years. Today, I bring that real-world experience into the classroom, where I have taught AP U.S. Government & Politics, AP Comparative Politics, AP U.S. History, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and SAT Prep. My students describe me as clear, approachable, and supportive. I take pride in simplifying complex material, making connections to real life, and building the skills students need to succeed both on exams and in their academic careers. With years of experience preparing students for AP exams and the SAT, I understand what it takes to help learners achieve their goals and gain confidence in their abilities. What sets me apart is not only my subject knowledge but also my commitment to student success. Whether you are aiming for a top SAT score, striving for a 5 on an AP exam, or simply looking to feel more confident in class, I will tailor lessons to meet your individual needs. My goal is to help every student reach their full potential while feeling supported and motivated along the way.
