Why do you need tutoring?

Mr. Jon B.

specializes in Professional and Highest Level Help in Social Studies · male

"I was actually a tutor before I began teaching--I tutored summer geography classes while I was an MA student and loved the interactions with students.

I have been a full time teacher since 1994 and have loads of classroom and professional experience. I have undergraduate degrees in history and geography. After getting an MA in geography, I taught middle and high school social studies and history for six years (including two AP classes-US History and Human Geography) before going back to graduate school for a doctorate in international studies. I now teach geography and political science at the university level and am a tenured professor. I look forward to helping you using my loads of teaching and tutoring experience to help you learn at whatever level you happen to be at!

I am happy to work online or meet personally for those in my general geographic area. Good luck to all of you!" less...
