I am an experienced history and geography tutor. I tutor 
world, United States, and Latin American history and 
geography. I hold a BA degree in Latin American and 
Caribbean History from UC Berkeley. 

I will warmly and ethusiastically help you to learn 
history or geography.  I help students with papers for 
history classes.

I tutor students preparing for standarized exams such as 
SAT II and AP.  I also tutor teachers preparing for the 
credentialing exam (CSET) in social sciences.

The rate for tutoring is $32 per hour. $60 for 2 hours. If 
you and a friend would like to study together, you can 
share this rate. 

I am open to discussing meeting throughout the area (I 
typically meet students in a cafe.  However, I am happy to 
meet at another public location or at their home, a travel 
fee may apply.) 

I would be happy to answer any questions you have. My name 
is Joseph.

I am a caring, experienced teacher and tutor with many 
years of teaching experience. I hold a full-time, adult 
designated subjects teaching credential from the State of 
California. I am willing to tutor both high school and 
college level students. I hold a BA in German and an MA in 
theology/scripture. I worked as a professional tutor for 
the athletic department at Southern Methodist University 
on a contract basis and as an ABE/GED instructor for Ya-Ka-
Ama Indian Education and Development in Forestville, 
California. I am willing to help students write papers and 
do historical research. I charge about $40 to $60 an hour.
I have a relatively late-model Volkswagon so I am able to 
come to your home or office if this convenience is needed.
The best way to contact me is by email at

Your child can be a lover of history.
If your child is struggling, or just wants to do even better in history class, it's 
probably because he or she is bored to death by the endless litany of dates 
and battles. It is hard to know why, but most high school textbooks leave out 
all the good stuff, the stories and real events that make history come to life.
Understanding history as it really happened can change the way your child 
sees the world.
I have a B.A. in history from Yale, a J.D. in law from UC Berkeley, and am an 
award-winning, Berkeley-based columnist and features writer for the Conra 
Costa Times and Oakland Tribune. In addition, I have interviewed students 
for Yale for many years and know what colleges are seeking.
