Scott W. - Tutor in San Diego, CA (92110)

Hello,
My name is Scott and I recently received my Master's in history at San Diego State University. In 2007, I received my Bachelor's degree at Illinois State University as a History major and Spanish minor. I have studied Spanish abroad in Costa Rica, tutored for Academic Advantage (L.A. based tutoring company), and co-taught five classes in both American and World history at San Diego State University. As a history major,I have been able to exercise and develop my abilities both as a student and teacher not only in history, but in grammar, geography, government, politics, reading, philosophy, sociology, and more. In my free time I enjoy recreational sports such as jogging, swimming, tennis, bike riding, and more. I have a great love of education and learning and hope to teach at the community college level someday. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to developing a mutually beneficial relationship with you!

study skills

I am continuing student of history at the graduate level at San Diego State University. I have been building and exercising my study skills continually and am also now giving back by teaching study skills myself and also tutoring. The skills that I have learned through my field of expertise are undoubtedly universal and would applicable to many fields of study.

golf

I have been playing golf since I was seven years old. My father is an avid golfer and taught me everything I know. I played golf for four years in high school and continue to play whenever I have the chance.

basketball

I have been playing organized basketball since I was five years old. During my undergraduate work at Illinois State University, I coached a first grade co-ed basketball team. Also, I assisted my father with his 5th-8th grade boys basketball team while at community college.

tennis

I have been playing tennis since I was 10 years old. I attended several tennis camps, played 3 years of tennis in high school, and continue to play regularly with friends. I have a solid grasp on the basic fundamentals of tennis and would be able to teach strategy and give helpful hints sufficiently.

ASVAB

I recently took the ASVAB test in July 2009 in anticipation of a possible military career. In preparation for the exam, I used several independent study guides that assisted in content familiarization, study techniques, and exam structure. I scored well on the exam (better than 88% of those who test). This put in the "excellent" category in terms of educational excellence and aptitude. In additional to my university-level educational achievements, I believe this score makes an excellent source of ASVAB knowledge and potential tutelage.
