In college, I was able to both study and tutor Politics and History in probably the best city for those subjects, our nation's capital.

Whether your student needs to master the art of writing the five-paragraph essay, prepare for the SAT, or write their personal statement, I can help...

...students and watch the AHA! moments unfold. Why do I teach? Successful learning requires awareness of HOW you think: how you create and organize your own perception.
