Teaching Record

I have enjoyed personally teaching more than 165 homeschooled teenagers in twelve different courses since 2002.^[1] These classes have been open at low cost to everyone, including persons with learning disabilities. My courses covered the material for a full-year public school course in just one semester, meeting only one day a week.

When I taught a one-semester course to my students in Economics, I gave a final exam that imitated the grading scale of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam. A substantial percentage of my students, even though they were at the high school and even the 8th grade levels, earned passing marks on the college level scale. Every one of my students who took the CLEP exam based on my course passed it to earn college credit.

The SAT II U.S. History course is the College Board exam for students who excel in this subject. A score above 600 usually places the student in about the upper 50% of college-bound high school students who have done particularly well in U.S. History.

After completing my U.S. History course, which met at only a tiny fraction of the time and cost as public school history courses, ten of my students for that course scored over 600 on the SAT II U.S. History exam. One of my students attained a perfect score of 800.

My homeschooled students have typically been admitted to their first choices in colleges, including the following:

Abilene Christian University
Appalachian State University
Ball State University
Belmont University
Biola University
Bloomfield College
Brown University
California State University Sacramento
Cornell University
Diablo Valley College
Drew University
Emory University
Fairleigh Dickinson University (graduating in 3 years using CLEP exams)

Huntingdon College
Liberty University (one on a full scholarship, and another on an independent scholarship)
Messiah College
Montclair State College
Notre Dame University

Patrick Henry College (one on a special writing scholarship)

Rowan College
Sacramento State University
Seton Hall University (two students on big scholarships)
Thomas Aquinas College
Trinity College
United States Coast Guard Academy
University of Dallas
University of Florida
Vanderbilt University
Villanova University

The primary initial motivation for Conservapedia was to make available a free, online resource helpful to students.
