Alexander P.
Private tutor in New York, NY
Education
I studied Political Science, Political Economy and Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands/Holland) and the Free University in Berlin (Germany).
Experience
Reading, writing and learning in general have always been great passions, but since a few years I have also developed a great love for teaching. I have ample experience teaching kids and (young) adults at all levels and know how to deal with the gift of AD(H)D. My approach is not to keep repeating what the student is having trouble with or is supposed to learn, but to figure out why they are having a hard time solving a problem and working with them from there. This approach not only helps to strengthen a student's self-esteem, but also to see why a specific subject can actually be interesting and fun.
