Andrew M.
Private tutor in Tacoma, WA
Education
University of Oregon, PhD, Political Science, 1998--major areas; Comparative politics, International Relations. CSU, Sacramento, MA, International Affairs, 1995. UC, Davis, BA, Economics and Political Science, 1989.
Experience
18 years as university professor of political science (8 years full-time, 10 years adjunct). 10 years, middle school English teacher. 4 years, volunteer reading tutor. Author, 2 books, dozens of essays and articles. I want to be a tutor because--after 18 years in various teaching positions--I understand that learning and teaching are activities that are best accomplished in a relationship between learner and teacher in which the teacher can engage and respond to the very specific needs of the learner. One-on-one learning and teaching has unmatched benefits in this way.

Hobbies
Reading, writing, doing hospitality with/for friends. Trampolining, swimming and Wiffle ball (with my 8-year old son). I also like to travel, and we (my wife and I) particularly like to combine service with our travel. I have, for instance, taught English to ESL students in various programs around the world.
