"Hi, my name is Tony. Ten years ago, I arrived in the U.S. and have been developing my English skills since then. I have been a tutor of English and math for 12 yrs. I acquired my degree in civil engineering from the University of Texas in Arlington, with high grades in English and math. I am bilingual with Arabic as my native language, and can teach the language to high school students.

My views about tutoring:

Creating a friendly atmosphere is a very important step toward successful tutoring. A tutor's job is to help his students depend more and more on themselves. One way to do this is by assigning his students to do homework at home. The next day the tutor will correct the homework in the presence of his or her student.

My advice to students who are pursuing their studies, whether in elementary, high schools or colleges, is: while trying to study one should keep his mind off of other issues and concentrate on his studies ... thinking of other issues while studying only distracts a student.

About me ... I have a good sense of humor. I like to be around friends and relatives ... and I am a friendly person!
