About Us

The GOATcard System was invented by Dr. Christian Sawyer, an experienced and nationally recognized educator who was among the first AP Human Geography teachers in both Tennessee and Kentucky.  In addition to authoring a globally-distributed review textbook on AP Human Geography (AP Human Geography Crash Course, published by REA) Dr. Sawyer was named the National Outstanding Social Studies Teacher of the Year for his transformational teaching, including his advocacy to start AP Human Geography in two high schools.  Dr. Sawyer has over twenty years of experience as a teacher and principal and earned his undergraduate degree with Honors, Phi Beta Kappa at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his Doctorate from Vanderbilt University.   Dr. Sawyer invented the GOATcard system based on his expansive experience and understanding into how students best learn AP Human Geography.  Dr. Sawyer is deeply proud of his AP Geo students, who are off in the world leading change for a better future!  He hopes his review system is helpful to every student in reaching their academic goals and learning about the world!  Additionally, Dr. Sawyer taught himself to "crack" the PSAT and SAT, as he became a National Merit Finalist and scholarship winner.  He has tutored students to boost their SAT scores to reach their college goals and is very passionate about sharing his knowledge so all students can achieve their dreams!
