About Jeffrey

Professional, reliable instructor/trainer with over thirty years experience as an effective curriculum developer and educator in areas as diverse as history, music, economics, political science, software training, Hebrew language . This isn't because I am some brilliant polymath! I am successful with my students because my enthusiasm for learning is contgious. I get very excited when a student "gets it". Nothing is more satisfying to me than seeing the light go on in the student's eyes after a concept is comprehended.
I know how to teach to each student's strengths and weaknesses. I aim to instill a love of learning that w lasts a lifetime into every student . The secret is simply knowing the student and adjusting teaching strategies to that learner's style.
As for social sciences such as history, economics or political science, my goal is engaging a student by telling stories. After all, what is history ? It's storytelling, only the characters are real and often stranger than anyone in fiction.
