High School Level English and College Level English tutor

About David

Hi, I have a BA in HIstory around have around 2 to 3 years of tutoring experience. I look forward to helping you.

My philosophy to tutoring is to have the student set the pace and to encourage the student to not be afraid to say "I don't know" or to feel embarrased when they make a mistake. I feel that mistakes are bound to happen and can be a great learning experience.

I tutored 3 of my coworkers in English when I worked in Asia for a few years. The company I worked for wanted my colleagues to get more confident in the language and so I became their tutor. I met with each individually for about 2 to 3 sesions a week and for at least 1 hour at a time. By the time I left the company, my coworkers were more confident and relaxed in their ability to speak and read in the English language. My colleagues always liked my approach and I think they felt i was attentive, caring, and fun.

My high school and college experiences prepared me extremely well to tutor the people I described above. In high school, I took lots of English Literature and History classes. In college, aside from majoring in History, I also continued my English Lit. studies. All of those years of study helped me to not only become a very good reader and writer, but they also taught me how to express ideas to people in effective ways.
