I am a rising sophomore at New York University, where I am focusing on history, politics, and philosophy. During my senior year of high school, I worked as both a volunteer student assistant at my local elementary school and as a volleyball coach, which is when I first realized how much I enjoy providing instruction and a positive learning environment to people. Having just been through the college application and selection process myself, I am passionate about helping other people through what can be a rigorous and difficult time, which is why I enjoy tutoring the SAT and ACT. In addition to my studies, I am a member of the NYU Varsity Men's Volleyball Team, and enjoy reading, music, and photography.

In college I wanted to write the "Great American Novel" so my undergraduate degree is in English with a minor in Psychology. Instead I joined the Air Force and flew airplanes for a living, traveled the world, and loved every day of 21 years as an officer! I'm still waiting to write that novel! I obtained a Master's degree in Public Administration--think MBA but for people who work in the government (MPA). I have been teaching as an adjunct faculty for University of Phoenix in their business school since 2004. I love face-to-face time with my students. My current career is with United States Central Command (CENTCOM) so I still have the opportunity to serve my country in a new way, and still get to travel a bit too. I speak a little bit of German having learned some in high school and college and having lived in Frankfurt for four years but I take every chance I get to practice what little I know. I raised three kids all of whom are college graduates, so while I may not have tutoring in my background, I promise you I have thousands of hours at the kitchen table with my kids on my resume!My opinion is, and I tell each of my undergraduate students in the first week of class, that being able to write effectively is even more important today than it ever was! We meet people through email, and some people I have dealt with for years but have never met in person. So being able to clearly communicate thoughts, ideas, directions, orders, etc. is extremely important. Working for a four-star general and dealing with people at senior governmental levels, effective and accurate communication is critical. I look forward to any opportunity that may come my way to help you succeed, because really that is what it is ultimately all about!

For over twelve years, I've taught students from around the world with a wide variety of talents and learning needs. Helping students learn new skills to master challenging content brings me so much joy. Throughout my career, I've been continually inspired by students' resilience and capacity for growth. I see myself as a guide to remind students of their own incredible potential.Here's a little bit about MY EXPERIENCE. My first big job was teaching creative writing to students ages 15-22 who were experiencing homelessness. I showed them different ways to tell their stories, how to research, make art, and how to publish online and in print. I then became an instructional assistant working with students in Middle and High School classrooms where I facilitated one-on-one and small group learning sessions in English, History, Spanish, and more. Next, I taught English to adults ages 18-80 in a job readiness program. Then, I taught Honors English, Language Arts and World History for English Language Learners at two wonderful high schools. My last teaching job went full circle: teaching creative writing to students at a detention center and at a mental health treatment center. I'm excited to teach with Varsity Tutors, because my main job is as a stay-at-home dad to my son with special needs.MY EDUCATION aided me greatly in all of these positions. I graduated at the top of my class with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University (SPU). I then returned to SPU to obtain my Master's degree in Teaching. Though skilled in multiple subjects, I am currently endorsed to teach English Language Arts and English Language Learners in Washington State.Though I tutor in many different subjects including Reading, Psychology, World History, Test Prep, MY FAVORITE SUBJECT to tutor is everything and anything related to English, including Reading and Writing! One of my favorite authors is Cormac McCarthy. My favorite quote by him is "Of the telling, there is no end." I think people have a natural need to tell (and re-tell) their stories and their perspectives and I am passionate about helping them to convey their stories effectively. I'm also devoted to helping students learn how to read and listen to others' stories so that they can realize they aren't alone. In fact, we are in an international, multi-generational community of storytellers. And yes, I'm in this community too! I'm proud to have published 60 pieces of poetry, short stories, movie and book reviews, author interviews, and literary essays online and in print.MY TUTORING APPROACH is student-centered, skills-based, and defined by connectivity. Let's start with that last one! Throughout a tutoring session, it's helpful to connect with students about what they care about, what they love, and even what bothers them and why! These kernels of connection can grow into motivators implicitly and explicitly throughout the lesson. Following this student-centered theme, my approach is defined by student need, determined both by what you the student say you need, but also on things I notice during our lessons. Finally, I believe an educator's best aim should be to teach students how to teach themselves! Whatever subject I'm working in, I endeavor to teach students skills that will aid in their mastery of disciplines throughout their lives.So why not get started? Book a lesson with me today!

I love English, and good writing. Since I like working one-or-one or with a small group, tutoring is a great way for me to help young people communicate more effectively in writing. As a social scientist, I also like to talking about statistics and social science. I like to teach by example and ask lots of questions so students can discover answers themselves. When not working, I like to watch movies, exercise, and write science fiction.

Thank you for considering me as your tutor. Here are my hard qualifications:- 4 years of experience teaching middle school reading and writing.- 6 years of experience tutoring college-level essay writing, reading analysis strategies, and studying techniques.- 4 years of experience tutoring all of K12 writing and reading.My hard qualifications show my earnestness to work with a vast selection of clientele. With this in mind, I find particularly helpful to approach learning with a knowledge of my students' personal strengths and interests upfront. Not all students are equal, and I appreciate my students' necessities to not only learn different strategies, but to learn these strategies in a way that coheres with their inner strengths. Please reach out if you have questions. I look forward to working with you!
