Andrew D.
Andy has two Master’s degrees in History from the University of Glasgow and the University of Alabama. Most recently he was the Rothermere American Scholar at the University of Oxford’s Rothermere American Institute, with a research focus on the development of Scottish American identity in the long nineteenth century.
Andy has taught both American History and World History at the graduate level. He leans heavily into the Scottish university tradition, which employs a dialectical, discussion-led approach that encourages students to engage critically with historical interpretations, develop evidence-based arguments, and refine their thinking and writing through vigorous debate and scholarly dialogue.

Meghan P.
Meghan has an MA in History and a BA (double major) in Classics and International Development from McGill University. She is in the final stages of completing her PhD in History and Classics at Yale University. Meghan has published a number of articles in academic publications and presented her research at conferences around the world. She speaks three languages fluently (English, French, and Romanian) and works in several others (Italian, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek).
Meghan is a passionate teacher who believes that every student is capable of excellence. Her approach is characterized by empathy, patience, and kindness. With over 15 years of experience in higher education, Meghan is sympathetic to the pressures modern students face: difficulties in focus, wavering confidence, and the temptation of unethical AI use among others. Meghan has had particular success in motivating students who were especially shy, withdrawn, or otherwise on the margins of the classroom. Strategies for how to bring such a student back into the fold differ on an individual basis but are always couched in mutual respect and understanding. Frequently, students who may have been struggling the most at the beginning of the term—be it with meeting deadlines, quality of work, or something else—became some of Meghan’s strongest and most self-motivated students by the end of the academic year.
Areas of Expertise: Reading, Writing, and Critical Analysis (all levels); History (all levels); Latin; Ancient Greek; Biology (K-12); Homework Help (English: K-12; French: K-6).
