Показать описание
A social class is a group of people of similar status, commonly sharing comparable levels of power and wealth. In sociology, social classes describe one form of social stratification. When a society is organized by social classes, as opposed to by castes, it is theoretically possible for people to attain a higher status than the status with which they started. This movement is possible because social classes are not based on birth but on factors such as education and professional success. For example, someone born into a low-income family can achieve a higher status through education, talent, and work, or perhaps through social connections. A society organized according to social classes, then, allows for some social mobility.

In this video, Chegg Sociology tutor Jamie B. describes the various tiers of social class with an example from ancient Egypt and describes the differences between each tier.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I'm a certified Math and English teacher for grades 8-12 in Massachusetts. Right now, I focus on gifted students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and mental health challenges who may be underperforming and overstressed in their classes. I can work with you if you have diagnosed LD or simply learn best outside of a traditional lecture and textbook format. If I don't know about something, I will tell you that openly, I'll point to where you might be able to find that information, and I'll learn more about it for next time. I'm strongest as a teacher when I'm working one-on-one and my favorite part of teaching is "diagnosing" where a student's thinking might be leading them astray (or ahead!)I got my Masters at Harvard in Applied Math, focusing on statistics and advanced mechanics/physics applied to biology. I taught and tutored Organic Chemistry, Precalculus, Calculus, proof-based Linear Algebra and Real Analysis, and Intro to Applied Math (for majors) at Harvard. I also work with student writing for classes, projects and graduate applications as a tutor in my undergraduate house. I've tutored everything from 5th grade math to competitive math teams to graduate school pure math and engineering. I've worked with Master's Engineering students studying for the TOEFL alongside high school sophomores in my Saturday volunteer creative writing classes, and I've tutored undergraduates at Harvard and helped develop curriculum in proof-based math and numerical experimentation-driven freshman physics.

EXTRACURRICULAR INTERESTS
I'm from Brooklyn, NY. I'm a city kid who could stare at the stars all night, which I do when I visit my family in rural Canada. I love biking, choral singing, performing poetry, teaching in all settings and with all people, and crisis management and education for mental health. I'm always looking to get into new art forms, learn new languages and pursue things where my gaps lead me. I also have difficulty keeping a straight face for more than a few minutes (or a paragraph) at a time.
