Award-Winning Philosophy Tutors serving Arvada, CO

...for an international undergraduate philosophy journal called *Stance* and through the process of getting one of my English Literature papers published in another international undergraduate journal of literary criticism and research in the discipline of English (published in The Oswald Review). While I love to teach a variety of subjects, I am most interested in teaching subjects in writing, English, Philosophy, Politics, Law, or anything related. As my variety of college studies suggest, I am...

...is work I have loved and am excited to continue here in Colorado. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in 2007 from Piedmont College in Georgia, where I studied Philosophy and Religion. In 2010 I earned my Master of Arts in Religion from Yale University. My particular interest is the junction between literature and theology using the tools of textual criticism. In my studies I learned how important it is to be clear and concise...

...school history teacher, but have worked with 2-year-olds, college undergraduates, and every age in between. I have previously tutored preschoolers through high schoolers in math and reading, and worked at a university in Santiago with Chilean undergraduates studying both English as a second language and the teaching of English. I am most passionate about teaching in the humanities, but find that working with students on any subject is fulfilling, including standardized test prep. Having lived...

...10th grade grammar and expository writing seminars, Literature of the Sea, Experimental Novel, and Creative Writing. At Wash U, I taught Fiction Writing I, II, and Microfiction, and last year I facilitated pedagogy training for Wash U MFA graduate students. I currently tutor at DU's Writing Center and, beginning this fall, I will teach undergraduate fiction classes. I have a marked interest in modern and contemporary fiction, though I very much look forward to helping...

I graduated CU Boulder with a degree in Political Science. During my gap year before law school, I work with a non-profit to send books to prisons throughout Colorado. When I am not working, I perform improv with a local troupe at on CU's campus.

...displays, I'm very knowledgeable across a wide variety of subjects. I have extensive experience in subjects ranging from Mathematics and Physics to the humanities. My breadth across these subjects enables me to take a diverse approach to teaching that extends beyond knowledge of one individual subject area. My favorite high school courses were AP Calculus and AP Physics, and my favorite courses during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at OSU I worked as a...

...strategies to approach each section, anyone is capable of improving his/her score significantly. These concepts and strategies helped boost my score 17 points over the course of 2 months. As someone who has recently gone through the law school admissions process, I am also happy to help students with any other aspect of the application process. Given the substantial weight of the LSAT in the admissions process, however, I am particularly passionate about helping students...

...passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil, Aquinas, and Anselm. I love to read and to discuss what I've read, and I heartily appreciate a good philosophical argument. Extracurricularly,...

I graduated from Yale University with a degree in Math and Philosophy. Currently, I am a music and entertainment critic-hopeful. I have tutored for over four years now with specialties in mathematics, logic, philosophy, English, and the ACT.

...my undergraduate education, where I studied physics for two years before switching my major to philosophy. I never lost my love of math and logic though, and Creighton offered a mathematical logic minor that was perfect for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate...

...all student can increase their scores and master the test with guidance and practice. My approach in ACT tutoring focusses on strengthening key content knowledge, increasing answer accuracy and speed, and building up an understanding of the test dynamics. I work one-on-one with students to develop a custom study plan. Equipped with these skills and background, students will feel confident and primed for success on test day. My tutoring in mathematics and physics draws on...

...passionate about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well. I like to say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in this sense, to an idea. I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is...

...to helping students improve their academic writing. This experience taught me the most common problems students encounter in academic writing including lack of clarity, redundancy, the inability to structure an argument, and the most common spelling and grammar mistakes. It also forced me to develop ways of getting students to identify and correct these errors. This involved spending a lot of individual time with students and helping them through the revision process. The most important...

...music composition and performance. Just don't ask me to draw any hands! Despite my professional focus on liberal arts, I also have a keen amateur interest in science, primarily in physics (A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking was my introduction) but also in chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology. My teaching style is based upon the premise that knowing how to think is much more useful than knowing what to think. My sessions are...

I am creative, intuitive, patient, and a really great listener. As such, I use these traits as often as possible in order to create an atmosphere of optimal growth. I have two Masters degrees--one in English Textual Studies and one in Philosophy. I am also getting a PhD in Philosophy....

I was born and raised in Washington State, and have spent significant amounts of time in the South and in the Northeast, where I currently reside.

Every student has the right to knowledge. Anyone who...

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge on my teaching skills as well.

...I love to read and love technology. I didn't have any clear career path in mind, but I thought I'd start by following what I'm enthusiastic about. My experience in those classes showed me a darker side of those studies: books like Middlemarch and debugging. Ugh. I found my philosophy class, which I took as part of the core curriculum, to be far more interesting. So I followed that passion to three (I'm m still...

Aside from having strong content knowledge in various subject areas, I believe I am motivating, encouraging, and supportive of my students.

I look forward to helping you achieve...
