Political Science is one of my top subjects! Certified teacher

I have a comprehensive background in the social studies having utilized all of my college elective courses to take social studies classes for my secondary social studies composite teaching certificate. I have a year of direct teaching experience of U.S. History and World Cultures and geography, and for the past 13 years I have worked directly for the Texas legislature drafting legislation. I am incredibly familiar with the processes of government and as a lifelong Texan, have taken enough Texas history (and lived enough of it) to help any student with their studies. I graduated cum laude (with honors) from both Texas A&M and the University of Houston Law Center. During law school, I served as the executive editor of the Houston Journal of International Law and was tapped by the Law Center to tutor first year law students in study skills.
Typically, our first meeting would be to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have received rigorous instruction as to punctuation, grammar, syntax, and composition rules since my years of mandatory education. The knowledge and application of the same have expanded thanks to the years spent in college and at the university, where I have also had to use the notions in order to effectively communicate verbally and in writing. In the professional arena, I have been a Linguist, an Interpreter, a Translator, a Language Instructor, a Mediator, a Program Manager, and a Technical Writer. I have utilized the notions learned in school, as well as the opportunity to refine them in these professionally held roles, where clarity of text, verbal message, and direction of discourse are vital for successful outcomes. I can speak many foreign languages including Spanish, Italian, French, Portugese and Latin.
My techniques will be customized to the subject and studen ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My wife and I home-schooled our three children from 1993 until 2004. In addition, I was active in Scouts from 1994 until 2007 as Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster and Merit Badge Counselor. These positions are supervisory in nature and involve both formal and informal teaching, mentoring and guiding. This experience also entailed several summer camps. My strengths are in the natural sciences, which formed the bulk of my work at UT, and English composition and grammar, as I gained extensive experience proofreading and writing essays for publication.
I typically employ the Socratic method: asking questions to discover what the student knows (or thinks he knows) and guiding his thinking toward discovering the knowledge himself. Both my three children and my Scouts have declared that they enjoy my teaching because it engages their interest and because it is frequently humorous ( ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been tutoring since 2006 and have covered a broad range of subjects during my time. My tutoring experience ranges from helping elementary students prepare for private school entrance exams to tutoring college students in math, english, economics, and history and everything in between. I have worked with students teaching them anything from algebra to calculus. I enjoy tutoring math the most but am very comfortable helping students write papers, or providing them critiques of their compositions. I wrote many papers during my time in college as a philosophy major and can help with fundamentals of writing as well as self-editing techniques.
My teaching style is to do whatever works, and to get it done. I pride myself on working with my students on their level and being able to understand their personal barrier to grasping the material. I am very conscious of not imposing ... read more
