I have been tutoring and teaching for the last 12 years. Throughout my early years of service working with various ages of students in middle school, high school, and at the college level, I had concluded that I could best serve mankind by teaching inner city students in secondary school to learn to read and write through the appreciation of literature.

I thrive in tutoring humanities - English literature, Latin, art history, music (keyboard, music theory and music history), philosophy and history. I am liberal arts trained and excel at connecting concepts across academic disciplines.

With such an information...
