While he never was directly my teacher, he was one of the nicest, most passionate teachers in my school filled with great history teachers. Him and the other history teachers made a curriculum that focused on the unsung and unheard events of American history, and reshaped how I viewed America as an entity after their classes.

Mr. Ramil creates a very welcoming and fun experience for his students. He made complex historical concepts understandable and his passion for the subject and teaching showed.

He was my high school history teacher almost a decade ago and I can honestly say I can still remember several of those lessons. The way lessons were structured and his simple yet thorough approach truly cemented all the information in my brain. Definitely a talented, passionate, and fun educator!

I’m grateful to have him at my history teacher. He taught me for two years, 10th and 12th grade. He’s patient, knowledgeable and engaging.

Anthony is a fantastic teacher who devotes effort to understanding every student's needs clearly. He is patient and encouraging, allowing any student to learn efficiently. Highly recommend!

Anthony was my old high school History teacher, and made the course one of my favorites in all my high school years. His teaching style was engaging, and he worked hard to frame content in a way that was relevant to students' lives and created connections across historical moments. Rather than solely memorization, the course deepened my understanding of and appreciation for history as it shapes the present—an essential teaching approach to foster long-lasting love and interest in History as a subject.

Was my history teacher for a few years at the Brooklyn Latin school, always made class fun and engaging while making sure to teach us the core concepts needed to be proficient in exams and quizzes.

Mr. Ramil was my high school European history teacher, and looking back now as an adult, I realize just how much his teaching and patience meant to me and how much it has shaped me into the functional adult I am today. His energy in the classroom was unmatched! He brought passion and humor to every single lesson, even when hard-headed students like myself were stubborn or too short-sighted to see the importance of the lessons he was giving.

In hindsight what stands out most was his patience and how deeply he cared about his students’ success. I don’t mean this lightly when I say he cares about each and every individual student.

He never gave up on me, even when I gave him every reason to. His gentle persistence and unwavering support helped me push through, and I’m truly grateful for that.

Mr. Ramil has my full and unconditional recommendation!

I had the privilege of being taught by Mr. Ramil in high school, and from day one it was clear how deeply he cared about his students’ success. He guided us through nuanced and often-overlooked topics with enthusiasm and rigor,. He always encouraged intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. The analytical tools and historical insights I gained in his classroom have served me well in college and in my career. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Ramil as an awesome educator.
