Tutoring Experience

I’ve been tutoring AP US Government & Politics for over five years, specializing in helping students from various backgrounds achieve their academic goals. My journey began as a peer tutor at the University of California, Berkeley, where I discovered my passion for teaching. Since then, I've worked with several tutoring centers and independently, focusing on helping students develop a deep understanding of the US political system. My approach involves breaking down complex topics into digestible segments, using real-world examples and current events to make the material more relatable. I’ve helped students improve their scores by an average of 20% within just a few months of focused tutoring. Watching my students grow more confident and capable in their knowledge of US government and politics is the most rewarding part of what I do.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is student-centered and interactive. I believe in tailoring each session to the individual needs and learning styles of my students. Whether it’s through discussions, debates, or case studies, I aim to make each lesson as engaging as possible. I incorporate multimedia resources, such as videos and podcasts, to bring the material to life. My goal is to inspire a genuine interest in the subject while ensuring that students are thoroughly prepared for their AP exams.
