...regarding career, family, and personal attainment. I discovered that at an early age and feel that I have been a beneficiary: as a father and husband; an historian, financial analyst and banker; a teacher, mentor, tutor and friend. Thats my approach as a tutor: listen carefully and understand my student; respect their learning style and ignite (or maintain) their passion for learning (and meet their immediate goals). Leaven it all with some fun. Throughout...... It begins with getting acquainted and listening; a student needs to understand that this is about them and not the tutor.

My main goal as a teacher is to instill a sense of empowerment and self-awareness through Literature and the Language Arts in the skills of reading and writing. The art of literature and all that it encompasses can be a powerful tool...

I'm a math department tutor at Benedictine College where I am studying math. I love helping students get to the point where a concept clicks and it finally makes sense! I only began loving math half-way through high school, so I also understand the deep dislike of math which many students have, but I don't want to leave them there; I want them to see the beauty of the universality and order of math.

John: Thornton CLEP course instructor
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
