B.A. Philosophy, UC Berkeley (GPA 3.80) M.A. Linguistics, SDSU (GPA 3.87)

Experience

I've always looked fondly on my years in college-prep, and I'm eager to share my knowledge with students in an interactive and positive environment. My teaching philosophy is to guide students towards the correct answer by drawing on their general reasoning and associative capabilities, without being dogmatic or, even worse!, boring. Some things, such are those requiring sheer memorization, cannot be taught, and where that is the case, I give students recommendations on how to make the most of their study time. Test scores: SAT (1600 format): 1520 GRE: 1440 AP English Language: 5 AP English Literature: 5 AP Calculus BC: 5 AP Art History: 5 AP Biology: 5 AP World History: 5 AP US History: 4 Professional Background: I taught Linguistics in the capacity of "Adjunct Professor" at Pierce college, a local community college, for 2 semesters (3 classes). My Master's thesis (in Linguistics) has been published in an academic journal. But my skills and background range far and wide, beyond Linguistics. (see Subjects)
