Jim
Certified Tutor
My expertise lies the Humanities, Writing, English, Social Sciences, and Standardized Test-prep. I hold two graduate degrees in Philosophy and Religion --one from Trevecca Nazarene University, and the other from Vanderbilt University--and hope to one day become a professor of Religion and Philosophy. My Graduate programs were broad in scope, so, in addition to taking philosophy and religion courses, I've been formerly trained to engage the Arts, Sociology, Anthropological inquiry, Literature and Psychology at the graduate level.
My strongest two subjects, however, are writing and Test-prep. Just this summer I scored in the top 95th percentile on the Verbal portion of the GRE, and in the top 94th percentile on the Analytical Writing section of the test. I studied for years and took the GRE multiple times to achieve these scores, and in the process learned some helpful tricks, tips, and strategies that I have no doubt could also boost your verbal and written scores on the ACT, SAT, and/or GRE.
Moreover, I am a copy editor and contributor for an online lectionary series, and have taught writing and reading strategies to students as young as 1st graders, as old as graduate students, and everything in between. If you need to work on your writing in general, or need essays edited come to me! I would be delighted to work with you no matter your age or skill level.
