About Me
Hi! My name is Bill! have been engaged in tutoring various subjects since graduating college. A little about me: I love sports (go 49ers) and reading, the latter being mostly history and current events; I’m not embarrassed to say Wikipedia is my homepage. Looking ahead, around the time your school year is over, I am planning on joining the Air Force (not as a pilot though – I am not that cool). But for now, I’m super excited to get started with you all at Six Mile Academy.
Education
Stanford University; December 2012; B.A. in Public Policy
Teaching Experience
My earliest exposure to tutoring in a professional capacity was upon graduation from Stanford University. Having graduated early, I needed something to fill my time and picked up a random tutoring job from the career board. This led to an appreciation of being on the other side of education. After leaving Stanford, I continued tutoring through both established companies and as well as independent references. Through maintaining contacts, I have continued tutoring in some capacity to the present day.
Interests
One of my greatest passions is athletics. I try to set time every day to either go to the gym or a run, while also playing pickup tennis, soccer, and rugby. I also enjoy the weekly trivia night with friends; while my music knowledge might be slightly limited, I carry the team with history and geography.
I love teaching and explaining science at every level!
