French with Neil M.

Hello my name is Mr. Neil M. I obtained my BA History at USC and my MSEd. at Mt. St. Mary's College. I have been teaching for almost 10 years now - all grade levels Pre-K through 12th grade+ both inner city of Los Angeles as well as the suburbs. I have taught full-time (8 years) for the LA Archdiocese and subbed for LAUSD. (Summers) Mastering instruction is upon the teacher to understand the skill set of the student and building upon that as all have different abilities. Saying this nothing takes the place of basic rote memorized skills - multiplication/division tables, order of operations (PEMDAS) for equation solving, exponents, factoring, percents. I am very well read in history and literature. I know history can be enjoyed only through a thorough use of maps tied to the subject matter - it is in maps that the concepts needing mastery are more readily and easily understood
