Rob: Sussex tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin where I was part of the Business Honors Program. In addition to having a Bachelor's in Business Administration, I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Geography with a focus on Environmental Conservation. Upon graduation, I took a job in Houston as a Technology Consultant before giving that up and embarking on a year-long road trip around the United States.

Throughout college I worked as a freelance tutor, tutoring students in a variety of different subjects, from business classes such as Accounting and Finance, to more inclusive subjects like College Algebra and Calculus. I enjoy working with high school and college students, especially in regards to test preparation for standardized exams. I specialize in tutoring for the GRE, and I am a firm believer that a person can always do better than they previously thought possible. For me, the first step in achieving your educational goals is to re-orient yourself in regards to education. I find it important to know why what you are learning is useful, and I teach accordingly. Math is not only necessary for great test scores, it is incredibly helpful in your everyday life. The same goes for the verbal-oriented subjects.

Outside of my academic boundaries, I enjoy reading, writing, and being outdoors. Living in Oregon affords great opportunity for exploration, and there's nothing I like better than suiting up and heading out for damp, sometimes-cold adventure.
