Jack recently received his DPhil in History at the University of Oxford, where he taught modern history and assisted with Oxford admissions alongside completing his thesis on French, British, and American fighter pilots in the First World War. Moving from the United States in 2010, Jack completed all of his higher education in the U.K., earning a BA in History from Royal Holloway University of London and an MPhil in Modern British & European History from Oxford.

He offers RNG students and their families personalized insight into the British education system and application process, opening students up to an exciting international option.
