...over 15 years. Learning is, for me, like a beautiful puzzle with many pieces that always fit together despite the challenge, and despite the fact that different learners see the pieces differently.

With a PhD in Political Science and Int'l Political Ecolomy,...

Some students want to make major changes in short periods of time which require a more focused approach and a more hands on methodology for quick significant gains.

I am a creative teacher by trade and by nature, and find great satisfaction and joy in bringing out the best in my students. For me, few thrills equal the amazing symmetry, the intense dynamism, of the teacher-student relationship. I appreciate the challenges of teaching, and do not rest until my students "found what they are looking for."

I am an experienced tutor specializing in high school and college-age materials, including standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT. I believe that the ultimate goal of teaching is to enable to student to function independently of the tutor. Therefore, I instill in my students not only an understanding of the core subject matter, but also key skills such as critical thinking and logic.

I specialize in tutoring economics, politics, writing, reading, critical thinking, SAT/GRE, and a few other subjects. I studied International Economics at Georgetown as an undergraduate and am currently completing my graduate studies in International Security there now as well. I take a flexible, customized approach with each student to be sure that the time we have together focuses is most efficiently spent. Outside of tutoring and school, I rock climb, cycle, and run regularly.

...test, or practicing French (all of which I can help you with). Unfortunately, contemporary education puts pressure on these things by subjecting them to constant evaluation, and its hard to enjoy school when everything we do in it is for a grade. When I teach, I aim to alleviate that pressure by helping students view reading, writing, and critical thinking less as tasks to be performed and more as natural, human means of expression and...
