Shaun
Certified Tutor
I am a dedicated educator committed to providing students with a profound understanding of the subjects they are learning. My teaching philosophy emphasizes not only retaining information but grasping it at a fundamental level for practical, everyday application.
With over 20 years of coaching experience, my journey began as an Assistant Football Coach and Strength and Conditioning Coach at two universities. I transitioned to a role as a training and manager at various health clubs, bringing a wealth of hands-on experience to my instructional approach. Additionally, I've had the privilege of teaching in continuing education at a local community college.
A graduate of Methodist University with a BS in Sports Management and a minor in business, I furthered my education with a Master of Arts in Religion and a concentration in Mental Health Counseling from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, MA.
Currently serving as a tutor for personal training certification exams and a range of subjects, including high school English, business, marketing, basic computer skills, religion, exercise physiology, and video editing. I take pride in being the first lead instructor of a National Academy of Sports Medicine preparation course at the community college level, achieving a pass rate of 100% for three consecutive years and maintaining a pass rate of over 90% thereafter.
Having left instruction to establish my fitness facility, I continue to work with interns, blending my passion for teaching with hands-on experience. My teaching style is both casual and structured, encouraging students to engage freely while gaining confidence in their chosen professions.
In addition to my extensive teaching background, I bring valuable management experience and entrepreneurial success to the table. I have owned multiple businesses, further enhancing my ability to guide students toward practical applications in their respective fields.
In the fitness profession, I specialize in corrective exercise and performance training, applying my real-world experience to mentor aspiring fitness professionals.
