College Grad with an English Degree
I am a college graduate with a degree in English literature. This means I have lots of experience with reading, writing, proofreading, and editing essays. I completed two years of a credential program for teaching when I realized I wanted to do my individualized teaching/instructing, and left the credential program. If there is one thing that I have learned in my life so far - it is that each person has a different learning style, and I will try my best to work with you and develop a meth... Read more

Acting is taking action, so actors need to act upon something. That something is the crux of the matter for an actor. Once an actor finds his/her actions, then performing th Read more
Thomas
Political Science Professor with 10+ Years of Experience
I taught courses in political science for more than ten years. It was not a matter of addressing students in a large lecture hall. I interacted with students in settings that facilitated discussion. My students learned to make arguments and to defend them. The courses that I taught included all the major subfields of political science, but they focused on the American political tradition. Where appropriate, I assigned readings from primary sources, because I found that these require a... Read more

Tutor w/ experience teaching abroad and tutoring in multiple languages
There are many subjects I like to study, and this is why I have such a wide range of experience! I am a certified TESOL instructor, and spent a year teaching English in Istanbul, Turkey.
