Josh: Oakland Social Studies tutor
Certified Social Studies Tutor in Oakland, CA

The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.
