Neil
Certified Tutor
For 9 years I was employed as an adjunct instructor and writing tutor at Atlantic Cape Community College (ACCC). I primarily taught World Religions and Introduction to Philosophy. In addition I taught Western Civilization, US History, and Government classes. Many times I have seen the students writing improve as they have worked with me through the term. Even non English speakers have made great strides with my tutoring. Recently I have tutored graduate students taking online courses.
Beginning the Fall 2013 I have been employed as an adjunct instructor in philosophy at Ocean County College.
In addition to my tutoring at ACCC, I have also tutored Korean students for the SAT at Pilgrim Academy. I tutored Math and Language Arts students at the Davies Middle School, Hamilton Township, NJ. With other tutoring services I have tutored a high school student for all his academics especially with his work in psychology. In addition, this summer I tutored students in SAT and English preparation. Currently, I am tutoring an MBA student online as well as a GRE student.
One of my students was the valedictorian at Oakcrest High School and is now a student at Harvard.
Prior to my college teaching, I taught junior high social studies for 29 years in Atlantic City, NJ. While in Atlantic City, I chaired the Curriculum Content Committees that rewrote the curriculum to prepare the students to pass the state tests.

What is your teaching philosophy?
You have to reintroduce the area, trying different methods to aid the student in learning the skill.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would introduce myself and ask the student what her goals were.
