James S.
Private tutor in Arlington, VA
Education
Recent Graduate: Bachelor's Degree in International Studies, Middle Eastern Society and Culture from Boston College.
Experience
At Boston College, I took four classes of Beginner Arabic and four classes of Intermediate Arabic, then completed two sessions of intensive summer Arabic courses and an additional semester of intensive Arabic in Amman, Jordan. I then returned to Boston College to take two more classes of advanced Media and Business Arabic. As my extended study abroad session left me somewhat over-prepared for these courses, my professor often had me prepare for and conduct class sessions to teach less experienced students in these advances classes.

Hobbies
I read Arabic news stories every day and often read Arabic literature, watch Arabic movies, and listen to Arabic radio. As a recent graduate, I do this to maintain and sharpen my skills as a prepare for a career with the federal government and wait for the completion of a security clearance. I also like to hike, rock climb, and run. I ran the Boston Marathon in 2013 and ran track and cross country competitively before that.
