Robert's profile

Emerson said that the secret of education is respecting the student. I have the greatest respect for that part of the human spirit that is curious and wants to learn. I find that if students feel they are listened to and heard, this allows them to feel encouraged. When they begin to understand that learning can be fun, the whole process becomes exciting and joyful. We are all curious and like to learn.

Johns Hopkins University
I am a graduate of Skidmore College. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, in English with a minor in Art History. I also received departmental honors for my capstone paper. In January, I will begin my Master of Arts in Public Relations at Johns Hopkins University. I mostly tutor in the humanities and social sciences, and I am very passionate about the value of these subjects. I am also a qualified ESL teacher, and I would like to work with students who are looking to improve their English language skills! In my free time, I love to travel, read, attend theater performances, go on hikes, and play with my two dogs.

Brown University
I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.
