"Hi everyone, my name is Brian. I live in San Jose with my beautiful wife and our amazing son. I currently teach film history at Mission (in Santa Clara) and West Valley College (in Saratoga). I work in the Older Adult Community Education program, which means that I get to teach senior-age citizens about the history of movies. It’s a very fun and rewarding job!

I am very passionate about multiple subjects, and even more passionate about teaching them to others. I think I am a good teacher and tutor because: (a). I have a lot of knowledge about subjects that I’m passionate about; (b). I love imparting that knowledge to others and helping them gain greater confidence in their ability to learn and achieve their academic goals; and (c). I have a talent for making difficult subjects easier to understand by using simple words and real-life examples, and I am very patient with students who are struggling to learn. I would love to have an opportunity to tutor anyone who thinks that I can help them, and I promise that I will do everything that I can to meet your needs and help you not only learn, but gain greater confidence than ever in tackling whatever subject is challenging you.

I have an MBA and an accounting certificate, and I have had several accounting jobs. I understand very well the basics of accounting and I have had success in tutoring others and helping them understand it better through some simple techniques.

I am a passionate history buff, especially in American history, and I love sharing my knowledge with others and teaching them about the important historical events that make us what we are today. I am also a film buff, and besides my current job as a film teacher, I got my Bachelor’s Degree in Radio-TV-Film-Theatre, and I have a lot of experience acting in stage plays and musicals. I have a passion for the entertainment arts, and a great knowledge of the history and performance techniques in the world of theatre and film.

Well, that’s me in a nutshell! If you think I can help you, please contact me so" less...
