I am an experienced teacher in the social sciences, politics and government, history, English, writing, and English as a Second Language. I tutor students from the primary school level to advanced graduate students. Although I am a published scholar, I am approachable, easy-going, and adaptable. My job is to help my students help themselves quickly and easily in a way that makes learning the material interesting and fun also. I have a multi-cultural background and am comfortable speaking ...

I have some basic background in Portuguese. Attempting other programs, with disappointment, Biorn jumped right in to access my background knowledge, engaged us in Portuguese conversation and made an exciting lesson. I feel my goals to communicate in Portuguese will be reached in minimum time. He knows how to stay focused on the lesson and keeps it interesting. I look forward to our next class and highly recommend him.

I was very nervous about a presentation for my graduate seminar class, browsed WyzAnt, and stumbled across Biorn's profile. He was nice enough to call me to discuss my goals for our tutoring session (a 20 minute phone conversation) before we Skyped later that evening. During our session, Biorn was incredibly enthusiastic, engaging, humorous and well-informed. He totally put me at ease and helped me write a VERY detailed outline for my presentation and several thoughtful questions to pose to my classmates. Early in our session I could tell that Biorn was as invested in my presentation being a success as I was. I would absolutely use Biorn for another tutoring session and would recommend him to others without hesitation. I wish he taught at my local university! Thanks, Biorn!!

Biorn has been awesome. You won't find a more knowledgeable tutor for Brazil/Portuguese/History (and probably a lot of other subjects) He is incredibly qualified and super good at distilling important and interesting information into mini lessons. Would HIGHLY recommend him, in fact if you're looking into him as a tutor, shoot me a note and I'd be more than willing to talk more.
