...friends and classmates. At first this was informal, at the lunch table or on the bus, but it quickly grew into more formal tutoring. When I attended Amherst College to pursue a degree in English, I carried this passion for education with me. For years I participated in a work-study mentoring underprivileged students in order to improve literacy and encourage a love of reading. I'm excited to tutor in a wide variety of subjects, particularly...

...shape their ideas into coherent narratives. However, I am proudest to have supported students in their pursuit of graduate education. Sometimes this meant helping with admissions essays and personal statements, strategically planning their application process, or talking through the unwritten rules of graduate admissions and graduate education.

...then use that newfound knowledge as the jump-off point for even higher achievement. The student should never sit still in his/her academic achievements; rather he/she should always strive to improve and grow. It is my job to foster that hunger and to enable the student to progress at the right pace, to achieve his/her potential and then break the barrier even further! My hobbies include reading science fiction/fantasy novels, writing short stories, and playing tennis....

I've worked with students of all ages and from all over the world and, in all honesty, I can say that my students have been very pleased with my style of teaching as well as the personal interactions I have had with them. In addition to teaching, I have been a political activist and writer for most of my adult life. My wife and I...

...connect with other authors and texts, and learning different languages allows me to do the same with different cultures. I have spoken French for 8 years, German for 4, and began to learn Spanish this past year. Tutoring is a very collaborative process for me, as the student cannot learn if they don't feel comfortable engaging with the materialI strive to make sure that sessions feel laidback and easy-to-follow as we work through any challenges.

...as we work on practice tests and the different skills that they need. In my free time I love to travel. In Oct. of 2014 I left the country for the first time to travel to Zambia, Africa to visit a friend living there. It was an incredible trip. We sat in the devil's pool at Victoria Falls (I recommend looking up a photo). We also went on a safari and had many other great...

...I can confidently say that our services not only allow students to be proud of what they can achieve (for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are.

...measuring them for their value, use and relevance. Thinking is never done in total isolation anyway but rather is always a social exercise and activity. The best teaching and learning then, I think, allows us to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as exercise, that we get comfortable with the necessary repetitions of learning--reading and writing, listening and speaking with consideration. As social...

...the people I've worked with, but also to watch them grow and develop over time. From writing and history to biology and math, I've had experience creating individualized lesson plans that are uniquely tailored to each student's needs and desires, no matter the grade level. I will be continuing my education at the University of Massachusetts Medical School this coming Fall, but in the meantime, he hopes to expand on his enthusiasm for teaching and...
