jason's Professional Information

I am earning my Ph.D. in American History at American University.  This fall I will begin my second year and I have a 3.95 GPA. 

I did my undergraduate work at the University of California, Berkeley, graduating in 2006 with a double major in English and History, with a 3.7 GPA in History.  Also, I was the valedictorian of my high school (San Pasqual, in Escondido, CA; student body of 450 in my class).

Additionally, I have five years of experience working with elementary, middle, and high school youth both as a track coach and program director for Cub and Boy Scout camps.

My tutoring style is best expressed in UCLA Sociology Professor Jerome Rabow's book Tutoring Matters:  Everything You Always Wanted to Know About How to Tutor.  I believe in enthusiastically engaging students, treating them as partners in learning.  Through listening and responding to their academic needs, they should feel comfortable and motivated to achieve excellence.

I tutor American history, English, public speaking, study skills, and writing.

Moreover, I have journalism experience; my wife and I wrote a biweekly restaurant review column for a newspaper in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2007.
