Kurt: Santa Monica tutor
Certified Tutor
Teaching, or in other words, motivating people to want to learn is my life's calling. I acquire knowledge for its own sake, and encourage others to do the same. I have been teaching all types of people for nearly 20 years. I was educated via life. I have traveled the world and experienced several cultures. While I did attend college and received extensive training via the military, I tend to remember many details of both the thousands of hours I have spent in the classroom, both teaching and as a student, and the world that I have observed. I believe I can teach almost anything because teaching is an intensely personal endeavor. It is my job to motivate you to want to learn whatever it is you trying to learn. From there, my job is to guide you so you can not only discover for yourself, but keep discovering beyond my influence. In general, my favorite topics to teach are history and science. In history lies the importance of why things are because of us humans. Science is raw objective knowledge.

In my spare time, I enjoy gaming. Entertainingly enough, what I game are economic and business simulations or games about history. I also enjoy reading. My favorite fiction authors are Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn. Otherwise I read scientific journals or non-fiction history books. My son is heavily involved with baseball, so I spend a fair amount of time with him doing baseball. While I knew nothing about baseball when he started, because I understand physics, I was able to teach him how to pitch. I greatly enjoy music and playing trombone.
