I am a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. I received a B.A. in Philosophy and Humanities from Villanova University (2014) and completed the post-baccalaureate program in Classical Studies at Penn (2015). I am primarily interested in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, but I am also interested in formal logic and ethical theory.I have served as a teaching assistant for a university course on Logic and Formal Reasoning. I have also completed a great deal of coursework in logic and mathematical logic. I am currently co-authoring a paper on one of the famous logical paradoxes advanced by Zeno.In addition to studying philosophy, I have spent several years studying Ancient Greek and Latin. Prior to entering the doctoral program in philosophy at Penn, I completed a year of coursework in both languages in the post-baccalaureate program in Classical Studies.

Meghan

10th Grade Math Tutor • +71 Subjects

I am a graduate of the George Washington University, for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I have a Bachelors of Arts in history with a minor in mathematics. My focus was a blend of American and intellectual history. I graduated as a member of the University Honors Program, magna cum laude, and with honors from the history department for my thesis. My Masters of Arts degree is in Museum Studies with a focus on exhibition design and development and American Studies. I spent a year as an Americorps member tutoring and leading an after school program in Washington, DC.I worked with my students to improve their literacy skills, over all academic abilities, and to develop a love of reading. I also taught at the National Building Museum as a museum teacher. Since graduating from my masters program I have worked in various DC museums doing public programming. My tutoring ranges from history, both US and world, English, writing, and grammar to elementary and middle school math and Algebra 1 and 2. I love to learn and want to share that with my students. Beyond helping my students better understand subject matter, I want to help my students appreciate how they learn and the ways for them to negotiate challenges. I am an avid reader; I try to alternate between history, philosophy, and literature. I enjoy spending time outdoors either kayaking or hiking. I am also interested in cooking and baking.

I am a graduate of Rice University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy, and a minor in Neuroscience. My previous tutoring experiences have primarily focused on college level physics, math, and chemistry; AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry; the ACT and SAT college entrance exams; general mathematics at the high school level; and middle school level math and english for state standardized testing. Additionally, I have experience working with students with learning differences including dyslexia, ADHD, and ASD.As someone who loves learning, I am a firm believer in making our meetings enjoyable as well as educational. STEM subjects in particular have the reputation for being boring and complicated, but I love that as a tutor I can help students make sense of the topics and find the fun!

AP Human Geography Tutor • +38 Subjects

I received my M.A. from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois and my B.A. from the University of San Francisco. My scholarly interest tends towards European and American History, specifically the construction of gender through the lens of consumerism and nationalism. As far as tutoring I have lectured and taught throughout the course of my graduate studies on top of my experience working with first-generation college students through TRiO Student Support Services and the McNair Scholars Program, federal education opportunity outreach initiatives.My tutoring focus ranges from working with students to address educational gaps in structuring papers and arguments to assisting them with articles that are up for publication through various undergraduate journals. I love to study and tutor the areas of history, literature, and any field that deploys the use of critical analysis. I have noticed that students generally prefer to learn through a holistic approach that works to address not only their comprehension, but also their interest.I’m a huge fan of a good book, some good coffee, and traveling.

Charlotte

ACT English Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of NYU Drama and an avid learner. My goal in working with students is to cultivate a passion for the material, to contextualize the content, and to transfer that excitement into articulate conversations. For me, anything and everything is an opportunity to gain insight whether inside the classroom or out. I have always loved guiding people through material - whether in an art museum with my parents or in class with my friends. This passion for school is augmented by a deep understanding of learning techniques and study skills. So while I believe the key to a student understanding material is a deep engagement with it, I also have tools to help recall and organize information. I specialize in History, Psychology, English, Reading, and Writing. I have experience with a wide variety of age groups from 10 to 18.I am a theater director and freelance artist. However, when I am not at the theater I can be found listening to podcasts, watching reality tv, playing video games, or reading. Travelling is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I just got finished solo backpacking around Europe this summer and have been to India, China, Australia, and Central America.
