About
Hi! I'm Preben. I was born in New York, New York and recently graduated from Webster University with a degree in International Relations.
I have always felt like a tutor and mentor since I was in Hig... h School, where I used to help my colleagues in understanding concepts in history and in French. I believe that education is a beautiful thing to do but modern academic institutions have evoked a very negative attitude towards education, be it the archaic teaching and testing methods or having a lack of consideration for the various and differing learning strategies of students.
My tutoring philosophy is one that fuses anecdotal evidence, be it from personal experience or pop culture, in addition to conceptual thinking. Understanding the basic concept using whatever tactic suits you is fundamental to grasping a topic, everything after that becomes an uphill battle. And if you truly understand something, you should be able to explain it to another person.
My passions include travel (when I have the opportunity to) to explore cultures and people, random web surfing for information, video games and watching and analysing soccer/football.read more
