Michael: Berkeley AP US History tutor
Certified AP US History Tutor in Berkeley, CA
...I take a patient and nonjudgmental approach; no one is good at everything, but everyone can improve with practice and guidance. There are usually several ways to teach the same material, and I have a knack for finding the one that works.

In my observations, I have always found that giving students proper organizing skills as their foundation for success allows them to reach their full academic potential. I enjoy nothing more than witnessing the students I work with master and apply skills that they once found impossible. In my spare time I love to read, watch films, and...

Ultimately, I enjoy teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity...

I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof.
