...California church. Over the past decade I have tutored students from upper elementary through graduate school in subjects ranging from writing and math to theology and classical Greek, but I have most frequently worked with students preparing for various standardized tests (having received a perfect score on my SAT in high school). Whenever possible I try to teach using the Socratic method, as I find that the process of guided discovery helps with the retention...

...students of all ages. I relish in supporting students in a variety of subjects, including math, reading and writing.

Outside of the world of academia, my interests lean toward entertainment and fitness, often both at the same time. I like to listen to comedy podcasts like...

...grade to undergraduates in college. I've tutored all the STEM subjects, essay writing for high school students, even organizational skills for adolescents. My favorite subject to tutor is without a doubt mathematics, ranging from calculus to algebra.

...most, and I will adjust my instruction to fit your learning needs, whether its through a Socratic dialectic method or through vocabulary games. For example, this past year I linked students' knowledge of the Hunger Games to rigorous dystopian texts by Ray Bradbury. The students learned to analyze complex literary themes from the book to pop songs, and created essays and projects comparing dystopian fiction to our own society! I'll use any creative strategies you...
