Curtis: Highlands tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm currently an undergraduate at Yale University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English. While I am most passionate about English Literature, I tutor a wide range of subjects, including SAT and ACT Prep, High School Level Math, and French Language.

Over the past few years, I've become truly passionate about teaching. In high school, I worked as a private tutor for a middle school student. Since starting college, I've taught a seminar every semester to local high schoolers on "Sample-Based Hip-Hop." Both of these experiences have been incredibly fulfilling and have taught me a lot about the inner-workings of good pedagogy. I believe that the foundation of teaching is strong communication and empathy. As such, I think it is important to get to know each student not only as a student but as an individual. I adapt my teaching style depending on the interests, needs, and unique perspective of each student.

In my free time, I host a radio show with a couple friends where each week we share music around a central theme. I also love to write and produce my own music, and I work as an audio engineer for my college recording studio.
