...in reaching their dreams in the process. Thus, having the opportunity to continue tutoring while I am in college is such a great honor and joy that it hardly seems like a job. Outside of tutoring and the classroom I enjoy playing sports, playing guitar, songwriting, rock climbing, going to the gym, and hanging out with friends and family. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you (or your child) in any way that...

John: Brentwood Philosophy tutor

Tom: Brentwood Philosophy tutor
Certified Philosophy Tutor in Brentwood, CA
...history, literature, algebra, and philosophy. My approach is focused on two things: perspective and passion. I genuinely believe that learning is one of the greatest gifts society can give us today, and one of the best things we can pursue for ourselves. All knowledge is connected, and rather than approaching a subject as simply that subject by itself, everything we learn opens new doors for our minds, and into subjects we sometimes never knew about...

I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil, Aquinas, and Anselm. I love to read and to discuss what I've...

The pay is terrible and it's hard to find enough hours to make a living wage, so I had a second job as a building manager. So, I decided to go back to school to earn my doctorate so that I can work full time in my field at a decent wage. Now...
