  GENERAL EXPERIENCE:     History has always been my passion from obscure pieces of antiquity to modern political crisis’. No matter you chosen career field history is always entwined with it. For example geography, is history just with a lot more landmarks on it, studying how human nature and political situations carve up the lands into country's and the history of them. Another example is geologist one studies the effects of natural weathering, geothermal and climatic shifts that have marked the lands for millennia unremembered. Archaeology is another example, history through action, Siphoning through the dirt and ashes of the past. Only through doing that can we get a complete picture of who we were and how we became who we are. This is why I love history it affects us all and shapes who we are in every scope of our lives. We can take and learn from the past to better ourselves as individuals that's how we learn throughout our lives, without we cannot grow as a person or a society as a whole. Without the knowledge of the past we cannot build upon technology to explore a fascinating earth, universe and future.
  APPROACH TO TUTORING:    I take a pretty basic approach to tutoring but with certain twists. Don’t worry I don’t just stand and lecture that will even put me to sleep. Usually I myself will go ahead and review what you’re studying, take notes and cross reference from other books relating to the topics. I present in various was depending upon a person’s interests (football terminology) and keep them from boredom that’s very important. Keeping a focused mind in tutoring groups and in class, as a TA, works well, an entertained mind is a focused one. One way I did this in class, was when we we’re talking about the crusade’s that I brought in and wore medieval armor I had made. I let the students handle the armor and weapons while I described the life of the typical crusader. I also described as well how much it must have sucked wearing over one hundred pounds of iron in one hundred and twenty degree heat, as a veteran of Iraq I know it does. Mainly that’s the approach I take attract your interests, speak simply and present visual history as much as possible.
