" I have donated many hours teaching at grade and high schools on various subjects in the U.S. and abroad, many times in several languages. My primary objective is to get students from a basic understanding of the material to a level where they can independently think and apply the material in practical situations or to problem solve. This is one of the greatest goals and benefits of the educational experience."

"My interest in international relations began as a young boy during the Kosovo War. Amidst the conflict’s carnage I witnessed on TV, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and his role as peacemaker enthralled me. Since then, I have dreamt about becoming a United States diplomat. In the more immediate future, I hope to achieve a master’s degree in international relations. My studies have provided me the knowledge and skills to be a useful tutor not only in political science and international studies, but also history, English, writing, American politics and government, research, and literature." ...

"I spent 13 years working as a veterinary technician at various animal hospitals throughout Illinois. As my skills progressed, I trained coworkers in animal nursing. Coworkers praised my patience and knowledge and recommended my teaching skills.
While working as veterinary technician, I volunteered at a local private school assisting teachers in the preschool and elementary settings. My passion for mentoring students grew, and I found myself changing careers and now supervise students in the After School Care program."

"I see teaching as a form of service - education has given me many intellectual and professional opportunities, and I look forward to making the empowerment of others my life's work. I've had a passion for history and politics since my eighth grade social studies class, where we learned modern American history while also monitoring the presidential election and preparing for our U.S. and Illinois Constitution tests. My teacher instilled in me the firm belief that the past shapes the present, and that those who understand history have the power to shape the future." ...

"Some students learn by reading, others by verbally reasoning through problems, still others by drawing out scenarios and making the appropriate visual connections. For many students, academic difficulties are not caused by a lack of intelligence. These students simply do not have the tools at their disposal to be successful; their full potential is not being realized. As a tutor, I want to teach my students about themselves and help them perform to their fullest potential."

"If your student needs any help in Language Arts, request me, you won't be disappointed. I've been reading ever since I started reading those little pamphlet books like "See Dick Run."
