I have a large amount of experience tutoring students in late elementary through high school in one-on-one settings.

...also a part-time professor of philosophy. My academic interests range from medieval Scholasticism to contemporary issues in bioethics and law. I believe that tutoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge between the tutor and the student, but also a transfer of skills, which would help the student learn how to find the answer himself or herself and to solve whatever academic problems come his or her way. Equally, important is demonstrating the real-world...

I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable.

I want to help students create this sense of worth...

...field. For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well.

...often where I got to know them as students the best. I just think it is really important to recognize that every student is an individual, so they should get a unique experience.

I also tutor U.S., World, and European history...

...in the hallway by a teacher I had never met before; he went on and on about how a few of my teachers had come to him and told him that I needed to be a part of his program.

...every painstaking academic endeavor is the opportunity for tremendous success. That's why it's important to me that every student grasps the bigger picture. Education has the opportunity to enrich your life unlike any other endeavor. If you're anything like me, you've experienced academic failure.

...I love to be a learner with my students. Growing up in the wilds of Northern Saskatchewan and for a time without power or plumbing has given me a creative and pioneering spirit. I love to unlock what motivates each student for their own success. When you "own it" you can do it! There are more than a thousand ways to learn but none of it is possible without personal ownership. You own it, and...

...to deliver honest and constructive written and oral feedback in a calm and compassionate way. I deepened my understanding and application of rhetoric, local issues (grammar, spelling, punctuation) and global issues (argumentation, organization).
