Experience
I am a tutor with extensive experience studying and teaching History. I graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelor's degree in History. During my undergraduate studies, I traveled through much of western Europe. Additionally, I was also a part of a study abroad program in the UK. My experiences abroad led to me completing a master's degree in History at the University College, Cork in Ireland. After I graduated, I taught Algebra at the high school level as a substitute teacher. I am currently studying History at the University of Toronto. I have experience teaching at both the high school and college level in a wide range of subjects, including Critical Reading, Writing, History, and Math. My philosophy as a tutor is to emphasize the fact that learning is about more than just memorizing facts. The ability of an individual to master a learning process that works best for him or her is one of the most important aspects of learning. I like to present learning as a fun challenge, but also as an examination of where a student's strengths, capabilities, and interests lie. In my free time, I like to read satire, travel on trains, and watch stand-up comedy.
