...something better than they did before. I think for me, that excitement comes from the collaborative method I use when helping students through material.

Each of them brought something new to the material, whether it was a section from Descartes they'd read twenty times before, or a new essay on nationalism that came out last week, they could...

...people and watching them grow by way of their skills. My love for teaching started in a 10th grade classroom and has now moved to private education. As a tutor and teacher, I focus primarily on writing, reading, and grammar.

I begin by gaining students' trust and then take that trust into deeper, more nuanced...

...concentration in Critical Theory, while also pursuing the pre-medical track. Given my background in both STEM and the Humanities, I tutor many subjects, but I am probably most passionate about Chemistry, Math, and English. It is particularly rewarding when some complex chemistry problem suddenly snaps into clarity. As for my approach to education, well it can be summed up in the words of Mark Twain: "I have never let schooling get in the way of...

...thereafter, I attended Brown University to do research in mathematics and theoretical physics.

While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience.

I usually maintain a small cohort of 6th to 8th graders as...

...I had just graduated Lynchburg College with a BA in English, and having grown up in Virginia my entire life, I was eager to experience something cultural and new. I figured teaching English abroad would be the most intense, interesting, and educational way to jumpstart a career in teaching. Now, ten years later, I can say that my initial teaching experience abroad was the tipping point in my life, for it led me to become...

I aim to one day become a professor of philosophy (particularly ethics), and I am currently in the process of preparing for a joint JD/PhD in Philosophy. Consequently, I am interested in both theoretical and applied ethics. One of my core talents is the ability to convey concepts in multiple ways, and I like to think of studying philosophy as learning how to say complicated things with simple words.

...also concentrated in 20th Century art history and Critical Theory, the History of Philosophy, and Buddhist Studies. I tutor literature, grammar, phonetics, essay writing, philosophy, art history, Spanish, and public speaking.

Since graduating, when I am not tutoring I am working on...

...acquainted with many of the schools in the area. I attended Skidmore College as an undergraduate, where I studied the intersections of philosophy, government, religion, and history.
