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.

Availability

Saturday after 10AM, Weekdays after 3PM

Can Meet

Up to 20 minutes away at my regular hourly rate

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.
