Hi,


When we are talking about various kinds of teachers and tutors - Obama and ndira Gandhi etc here is my info .
I teach/tutor the followng subjects: 

Teach/tutor grades 1-12 students, following Advanced Placement [AP]
college course:Calculus, Chemistry,Statistics; some parts of the
following courses: Physics, Psychology, World History, following
regular/honors level: some biology, environment science; ALL middle
school and elementary school courses; SAT: Reading, Writing, Math
I also taught Financial Accounting to a college student sometime back.

That covers almost everything - and as my roommate (now staying one block from Times Square , NYC, for $260 per night -what I used to pay month when I joined him at our apartment) last month --- "You are like an elementary school teacher - at high school level - teaching all the subjects."  He taught Java language to college students (incl a current colleague of mine) at www.gmu.edu.

My RoomMate and Neighboring students:

A great juggler himself - he completed his MS Computer Engg with A grades, while he worked full time (on H1B work visa which he acquired AFTER   he landed in the USA as a student. He had worked with Infosys for 2 years before that.Many students in his classes passed with Cs despite studying only-full time. He hardly slept, juggling with 50-60 hours work week. 
 .In a enviornment with such 500 students , I got motivated too and studied all night sometimes - to fill gaps in my knowledge - anyway all night you could hear Indian
 languages (many which I do/did not know) outside or students roaming in the corridors (including girls with laptops in stairs and on the corridor floors)

Needless, that time was a great learning experience - not only about US education but also about India-students from various metros including a girl who graduated from Assam Engineering College and worked with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) India's bigest IT services company..

Now with 90% of school course done, focusing on legal and financing issues - visa due for renewal after 2 years, maybe buy a house (seeing that some house prices have become one-fourth of previous levels) -rent just a wee bit less than monthly payment-initial funding thanks to friends-maybe later price rise will ay off my $35,000 student loan - all info from friends...
