John: Elgin tutor

Certified Tutor

I have a Masters in History from Northeastern University in Boston, MA and Bachelors in History from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and Over the last fifteen years, I have lived, taught and tutored ESL, GMAT and GRE Preparation courses, History and other subjects to Professionals, College and High School students in Prague, Czech Republic and Muscat, Oman. As a tutor my areas of strength would be High School Social Studies, English or Math, College Level . And English as a Second Language for students 12 and above.
I have had the good fortune to be able to travel the world and teach. My experience has taught me that each lesson and each student is unique; that for a student to meet his or her goal it is essential to work with a student to discover a subjects relation to the student.
Humanity is defined by its ability to learn and its connectivity. These two characteristics in combination define my approach to education. All people are able to learn and key to meeting ones potential is though instruction in a way that is individual and meaningful to each learner.
