Other than tutoring, I enjoy going to school (I'm about to get my bachelors...

I’ve spent the bulk of the last decade studying Philosophy, English, Cybertheory, and Professional Writing at Portland State University. I favor science-fiction (particularly military and cyberpunk) but generally enjoy any story that is interesting and well told. I also enjoy writing and editing for the screen– it is not the medium that intrigues me, but the content.

As such, my job as a tutor is to support, ask questions, and be a sounding board for learners to coach them through their own process of discovery and integration.

That experience has also provided me with the opportunity to translate my hard-earned lessons to those in need. Besides my voracious appetite for reading, I am a writer of nearly ten years. In this realm, I have focused mainly on short fiction stories as well as the odd novel. In...

I believe that any student can learn. I believe that the only reason a student may be struggling is because material isn't being taught in the way that suits the individual. I try to uncover the different ways each student learns and present information in ways that make more sense to each student. I always try to make learning personal....

Good knowledge. A little fun. Lessons with a spark. I'm interested in the story behind things; I never overlook the students and the need to find the ways the material interests them. I have an excellent grasp of things and I can adapt my instruction to apply to every student's individual interests. So, let's have fun.

...I believe that understanding the material is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific testing strategies and tricks, but I ensure that at the heart of my tutoring is the academic material itself. A student who simply masters the strategies and tricks might do great on the SAT, but the student who understands the material will do great on the SAT and continue to do great in college. I have particular...
