Bernard Peter Rawlins

I am writing with great pleasure to recommend Mr. Bernard Peter Rawlins for an online tutorial position in World History. My name is Jiang Anni, a senior student at the International Department of Yangzhou High School, and I have had the privilege of being Mr. Rawlins’s student on two separate occasions. My first encounter with Mr. Rawlins’s teaching was even before I officially entered high school, during a summer trial course in Yangzhou High School.During that time, my English was not good enough to fully understand the knowledge of world history. Yet in my impression,Mr.Rawlins was really serious in teaching and has played a positive role in my learning of English indirectly. My second, and more profound, experience was during my second year of high school, when he taught me Pre-World History and provided invaluable guidance for my AP World History studies. Furthermore, my elder brother,Kerry, was also taught by Mr. Rawlins eight years ago, so I have been familiar with his reputat

I'm a student of Mr. Rawlins from 2016-2018 at an international high school program in China. I took the Pre-World History lessons taught by Mr. Rawlins and got a level 5 result for AP World History. The historical concepts taught by Mr. Rawlins are always clear and well-organized. My favorite aspect of Mr. Rawlins's lessons is that he always encouraged a critical thinking process to analyze historical concepts instead of directly presenting historical events. This critical thinking process that I gained from Mr. Rawlins's lessons has helped me analyze concepts beyond world history. It has helped me challenge the existing concept and develop novel systems during my PhD study. I highly recommend taking Mr. Rawlins's class.

I'm writing to highly recommend Mr. Peter Rawlins. His AP World History class was a defining experience in my high school career, profoundly impacting my academic and personal development. Mr. Rawlins is a remarkable teacher who went beyond the standard curriculum. While his mastery of world history was evident, his true gift was teaching critical thinking skills that transcended the subject. He taught us how to deconstruct historical arguments, analyze primary sources, and construct well-argued essays. He was famously meticulous about details, insisting on precise formatting and clear argumentation. Though we found his rigor demanding at the time, his lessons have proven invaluable. Beyond the classroom, Mr. Rawlins's philosophical approach to history taught us to see the past not as a list of facts but as a living narrative that continues to shape the present. He encouraged us to appreciate nuance and complexity, fostering a deeper, more meaningful engagement with the subject.
