About Me

Experience Summary

Granted, I am still in school myself, however, I pride myself in exceptional achievements, and a mountain of sharable knowledge. I maintain a 4.0 GPA, and I take college classes as well. I lack teaching degrees and I lack diplomas in any field, yet I guarantee that in some fields -- History and Geography -- I know as much as a college graduate as I study, and have studied since a small child, those fields extensively in my spare time. I love to teach, the few opportunities I have had reaped great feedback and students who came to me personally saying they learned more than had previously. I have taught Bible Classes, Swimming Classes, Geography Classes, and a History class in the past. It is a thrill to teach and make sure that the best knowledge pegs itself into the minds of our populace. Teachers constantly applaud me on being conscientious, hard-working, knowledgeable, active, and devoted to learning and sharing. I am also infatuated with knowledge about history, geography, anthropology and the likes. Since I was 5 my parents caught me entranced by maps of any kind: advertisement maps, road maps, world maps, etc... The fact that It holds such a deep echelon in my being, it is only natural that I love to distribute that knowledge to others. I hold no degrees, but I hold the knowledge despite that fact, but I also hold the passion. I would be more than glad to teach anyone who wishes to be enlightened by my passions, and the other subjects I know enough to teach about. I have taken enough classes on Geography and History, yet I usually come out learning little, I have surpassed my level, and know enough to teach on many tiers in these subjects, and easily enough in a few others. "Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it." -- Buddha

My Hobbies

I love swimming and ice hockey as sports. Yet my hobbies are honestly learning more about our world and creating from my imagination (Writing, Legos, Minecraft, cooking, etc...)

Subject Commentary

Composition This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Experienced
Receiving a 5/5 grade on the AP Composition test is a notable achievement. Throughout the years I have taken several courses in Composition that have enabled me to write to the audience, and write coherently. The ability to teach these things is of course a trait acquired through my learning. I love writing, and I would thoroughly enjoy teaching on this subject.
Geography This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I can name all the world's countries and capitols by heart, in addition I can give detailed descriptions about many of their cultures, people, history, background, current situation, and prosperity. This is by far my zenith subject. I have placed in the National Geography bee 3 times. I love Geography more than any other field and I take it seriously. It is my passion, and I hope to achieve my doctorate in Geography eventually. I am well on my way to achieve that goal, and I would more than enjoy teaching it.
Grammar Proficiency: Experienced
"Let's eat Grandpa!" and "Let's eat, Grandpa!" are two very different sentences differing only by the comma after eat -- or the lack thereof. Grammar is extremely crucial in any language, but especially English. There are also many different methods to use grammar in everyday sentences. Example: "Let us go buy, with our imaginary money of course, some ice cream, Susan." The commas surrounding the phrase "with our imaginary money of course" almost make the phrase seem inconsequential to the reader, skimming material. "Let us go buy (with our imaginary money of course) some ice cream, Susan." The parentheses make the phrase whisper itself to the reader. "Let us go buy -- with our imaginary money of course -- some ice cream, Susan." The dashes in this final variation make the phrase scream out! It creates an aura of importance about what it surrounds.
Social Studies Proficiency: Experienced
The vast field of social studies is the extremely vital and underestimated realm of discovering who we are. Government, History, Geography, and the other fields help us understand the Whos, Whys, Hows, Whens, and Wheres that describe our existence. I am very proficient in many of the Social Studies fields, mainly history and Geography. I have placed 3 times in the National Geography Bee, and I took an AP class on History as well as two additional courses on world history and geography. I am in the process of taking and Advanced Government class as well.
Spelling Proficiency: Experienced
Spelling has always been a talent of mine. Its often a very hard subject for many, however, I have managed to see the tricks of the art, and I have knowledge of esoteric spellings as well.
World History This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Experienced
Many people find dates to be a challenge, however dates have little importance on history. A few are important, and it is vital to develop a mental timeline, however the real meat of history is learning what happened and then turning that knowledge into comprehension of culture, of motive, and of mankind's natural behaviour. I have taken an Advanced Placement class in history as well as two other courses on advanced world history and geography.
