Hello, my name is Eric Blumenfeld. I am in the beginning stages of self training myself to become a tutor in the field of History. This site and the blog will document my progress in my training and studying. Currently I am aiming to tutor AP US History.
Aside from History my main hobby in life is playing games. This ranges from video games to board games and tabletop Role Playing games. I primarily play games with a heavy emphasis on narrative and character development.
Currently I am at the beginning of my training as a history tutor. Detailed updates will be posted on my blog roughly every week.
I currently live in South San Francisco California and have lived in the Bay Area my entire life.
I graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in History with a focus on Modern US History.
My current day job has nothing to do with history. Recently I have been trying to figure out how to incorporate history back into my life. Not just that but also give meaning to what I am studying.
I like teaching and helping people. I know among students, history is not a popular subject. I consider this to be an issue not with the subject itself, but with how it is communicated to the students.
My further aim is to develop a teaching philosophy based on the Teachers and Professors that engaged me most during my studies.
