Hello, my name is Matthew McGinn. I went to San Diego State University for my Bachelors and Masters degrees in History, where I graduated with honors. I continued my education at California State University, Dominguez Hills, where I received my community college teaching certificate. As a part of that program, I interned at Palomar Community College. I have experience working at a private school as a sixth through eighth grade history teacher, as well as being a substitute teacher.

 

My philosophy is to make kids excited about history and to teach them skills that are transferable to other areas of their academic life. In my free time, I enjoy going to the zoo and Seaworld with my wife, playing and walking my five dachshunds and cat, as well as sitting down and reading a good book.
