Linford Ranck

Hello there! My name is Teacher Linford and I love to see students connect deeply with their studies while having fun in the process. I teach classes in History, German, ELA, Standardized Tests, and College Applications.

 

Originally from the rolling hills and small market towns of central Pennsylvania, my education journey has taken me from studying at Millersville University (BA History and German) to Northwestern (MA History) and Yale (MDiv Religion). Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in German culture in Mainz and Berlin, study Dutch in Leiden, and teach international students in Jerusalem.

 

Since then I’ve taught hundreds of middle school and high school students. I find joy in seeing learners transition from self-doubt to the confidence that comes with comprehension. My hope is that we ask the "why" questions not only of our studies but of our own contexts. In my spare time I enjoy reading, painting, watching TV, and learning languages.
